PDA 2: Concert For a Cause

The scholars had their concert-for-a-cause yesterday night where they opened the show with a little upbeat song. It's so lame for an opening, the song should have been more fast and more dance-able.

Liezel was okay during her solo but there's something about her that isn't positive. I don't know what but she always looks gloomy even with a smile.

Miguel was hilarious I was laughing all throughout his performance of Robi Williams' Rock DJ. He's so big on stage and his dancing was so awkward the number reminded me of high school intermission songs in between PTA meetings. It was a trying-hard act for him tonight. But I understand he was doing it to please the mentors and judges and for them to say that he "enjoyed" the performance. Yea he seemed to have enjoyed it because he forced himself to do so. A is for awkwardness, really.

Cris's vocal technique has really improved, though, but why do I have this feeling that she mumbles her words while singing? Or is it just me?

Van had a good song but he has the same dance moves as when I first saw him dancing on stage months ago. His song, though, was fit for his vocals and he didn't look awkward dancing. I know he has the highest voice range among the boys but his voice cracked on high notes countless times last night.

Laarni gave the best performance with Lani Misalucha's Waray-Waray. She was so cool on stage getting into character of the tough woman behind the song. She missed a few lyrics in the middle but it didn't do much to blemish her performance. The girl can really pull through any genre of songs she is given to sing. She had proven that from the diva song Natural Woman to the novelty song 'Di Ko Kayang Tanggapin and to the rock song Bohemian Rhapsody and now the character singing of Waray-Waray.

Bugoy seemed to have lots of air and energy during the first half of the song but faltered towards the end. He still did a good job, though.

A partial percentage of the scholars' text votes was also shown on television, although without the scholars' names. They used Scholar A to Scholar F instead. The percentage is quite amusing, though. The big difference among the votes shows obvious facts: (1) that one of the scholars has a very big following and that majority of the Filipinos have become a fan; (2) the rest of the minority are torn only between the other two scholars; (3) the family, relatives and friends of the remaining three scholars are the only ones voting for them; (4) the family of one of those who belong to the bottom three are spending big time to make their scholar win or at least not kulelat.

Partial results:
Scholar A: 20.27%
Scholar B: 38.98%
Scholar C: 11.28%
Scholar D: 20.18%
Scholar E: 3.15%
Scholar F: 6.15%

Who do you think is Scholar B? I already have my guess. I'm just not sure of my C and D scholar. My Scholar C can take the place of my Scholar D and vice versa.
