from mukamo.com

It was the first gala night for the Pinoy Idol. The venue (SM Mall of Asia - Centerstage) was much bigger, the stage much wider than the workshop stage, and it was more glamorous. The audio (on TV) was a lot better, too.

The top 12 are obviously there for a reason, but there are a few who we know just can't win the title for obvious reasons.

The show opened with the top 12 in a production number of the local song Awit ng Kabataan by Rivermaya. All 12 of them was made up like a star, the fact which was immediately noticed by Wyngard Tracy. He said he was impressed by the transformation of everyone. He also expressed that he expects everyone to apply from thereon what they have learned from the months that passed.

The following are the order of performances, their corresponding songs and some of the judges' comments:

1. Gretchen - Respect by Aretha Franklin
Wyngard: "may kulang" (something's lacking)
