Your Face Sounds Familiar

I have been watching Your Face Sounds Familiar since I first saw it (1^st episode, 1^st performer – Karla Estrada preparing as Sharon Cuneta).  I never really watch a local show religiously until I saw this one.  I’m waiting for it every weekend whenever I’m home.  But I must admit there are some frustrations…

1.        The judges are puro positive na lang ang alam sabihin --- kahit dun sa binibigyan nila ng lowest score…I thought this show was different before kasi I was pleasantly surprised on the 1^st show nung binanggit ni Jed & Sharon na sintonado si Maxene.  Actually ok naman si Sharon minsan she still mentions the area for improvement and I like her candid comments even when not juding---adds spice to the show.  I don’t know why she has many detractors.  It’s refreshing to watch the “New Sharon” now na hindi puro pacute at ang galling humirit!  Pinakawalang kwenta si Gary lahat maganda at magaling sa kanya.  Papalitan daw sya for a while ni Boy Abunda but I don’t expect things to get better knowing Boy na wala ring laman ang sinasabi parati.

2.       Pacorny ng pacorny si Billy Joe Crawford.  He was very good on the 1^st show.  Did the ratings frighten him???  Ok this is one of the things na ok lang.  I didn’t want him to excel din dahil sa ginawa nya kay Nikki Gil.

3.       Frustrating yung performances last week.  Halos walang nagperform.  The only positive thing is nanalo na rin ang favorite ko na si Nyoy sa wakas (after the very unfair assignment the week before).  Ipinanalo nya ang worst performance nya---w/c is still better than the others.

4.       Ang pinakafrustrating is ung pagsscore ng judges.  Here is my own scoring (I only included the last 2 weeks dahil eto lang ang napanood ko ng buo sa tv---I realized iba pa rin pag youtube).

 

Week 4 (April 5)[edit]

Order	Contestant	Impersonated artist[16]	Song	Total Points	Rank
1	Melai Cantiveros	Mad Killah of Salbakuta	"Stupid Love"	18	4th
	Tutti Caringal	Bendeatha of Salbakuta		20	3rd
2	Edgar Allan Guzman	John Travolta	"You're the One That I Want"	13	5th
	Maxene Magalona	Olivia Newton		12	6th
3	Jolina Magdangal	Juliet Sunot of Aegis	"Sinta"	21	2nd
	Nyoy Volante	Rey Abenoja of Aegis		4	8th
4	Karla Estrada	Dolly Parton	"Islands in the Stream"	11	7th
	Jay R	Kenny Rogers		33	1st

 

***Kung ako I would go for the following:

Tutti

Jay R

Melai

Edgar Allan

Nyoy

Jolina

Karla

Maxene

Hindi magaling si Tutti for the past weeks pero grabe ang performance nya dun sa Salbakuta.  He deserved a higher score.  Si Melai mataas din ang score ko kasi kahit di nya gano nagaya sa looks yung salbakuta eh grabe sa kwela ang performance nila ni Tutti.  Edgar Allan deserved more based on his performance na nagaya si John Travolta---only thing is he looks like Zac Efron.  Si Nyoy deserved more dahil magaling pa rin sya kahit halos extra lang.  Si Jolina hindi marunong kumanta, hindi maabot ung kasimple-simpleng kanta na any ordinary singer eh magagawa, walang nagaya ni kaunti.  Naaalala ko tuloy yung nabasa ko sa FashionPulis lately na parang gusto ng ABS-CBN iahon ang career ni Jolina---kadiri!  Si Karla as usual wala na namang ginawa…lalo na si Maxene.

 

Week 5 (April 11 & 12)[edit]

Order	Contestant	Impersonated artist	Song	Total Points	Rank
1	Edgar Allan Guzman	Ricky Martin	"She Bangs"	15	5th
2	Maxene Magalona	Madonna	"Like A Virgin"	3	8th
3	Nyoy Volante	Justin Bieber	" Baby (Justin Bieber song)"	27	1st
4	Karla Estrada	Psy	"Gentleman"	14	6th/7th
5	Jay R	Alice Cooper	"I Never Cry"	18	3rd
6	Jolina Magdangal	Axl Rose	"Sweet Child o' Mine"	17	4th
7	Tutti Caringal	Rico J. Puno	"Macho Gwapito"	14	6th/7th
8	Melai Cantiveros	Jolina Magdangal	"Chuva Choo Choo"	24	2nd

Here’s my ranking:

 

Nyoy

Karla

Jay R

Jolina

Edgar Allan

Tutti

Maxene

Melai

 

Karla deserved more last weekend.  Hindi madali yung pinagawa sa kanya knowing her.  I don’t know why she scored so low.  Si Melai ang halatang-halatang may daya.  Dahil ba ang paborito ng ABS na si Jolina ang ginaya nya?

 

5.        Last frustration ay ang mga nabunot na “Icons” kuno for next weekend’s performances.

 

Week 6 (April 18 & 19)[edit]

Order	Contestant	Impersonated artist	Song	Total Points	Rank
-	Maxene Magalona	Vhong Navarro
-	Tutti Caringal	Steven Tyler
-	Karla Estrada	Mariah Carey
-	Edgar Allan Guzman	Toni Gonzaga
-	Jolina Magdangal	Manny Pacquiao
-	Jay R	Tom Jones
-	Melai Cantiveros	Cyndi Lauper
-	Nyoy Volante	apl.de.ap

 

Music Icons pala si Vhong Navarro at si Toni Gonzaga??!  Pweh!!! Maintindihan ko pa si Manny Pacquiao dahil sikat naman ito sa buong mundo lalo na may nalalapit na laban.  Pero gamitin daw ba ang international franchised show na ito to promote their own “talentless” artistis??!  Kahit si apl.de.ap matuturing ba na Icon yon?  Buti kung Black-Eyed Peas o si will.i.am o Fergie pa!  PAK!

 

I’m not looking forward to the next show anymore!!!
