Last week PGT announced that there would be wild card week. This was after the wild card competition which brought the 6 semi-finalists who didn’t make it to the grand finals together. As usual, performance night happened last Saturday and last night was the results night. Rico the Magician made it to the Grand finals of Pilipinas got Talent Season 2, after garnering total votes of 41.68%. Skeights also made it to the finals with 30.16% total votes. For those who wasn’t able to watch the show, here’s a video I found on youtube.

And here are the Grand Finalists of Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2:

1. Freestylers – dance crew
2. Madrigal Siblings – young singers
3. Baguio Boom Boom Boys – dance group
4. Angel Calalas – hula hoop tricker
5. Happy Feet – tap dancers
6. Jem Cubil – acoustic singer
7. John Michael Narag – singer
8. Filogram – dance crew
9. DJP Trio – singing trio
10. Buildex Pagales – singer
11. Leoniel Enopia and Elizabeth Dazo – ballroom dancing duo
12. Marcelito Po Moy – singer
13. Rico the Magician – magician

First semi-finals of the Pilipinas got talent took place last Saturday. The six semi finalist will perform and after that voting will be opened for the viewers and supporters to text and vote their favorite talent. On Sunday, PGT will announce who will move to the grand finals. The highest number of votes will automatically move to the finals but second and third place would have to perform again for the judges and the judges will decide. Rico the magician is one of the favorites and he is one of my favorites too. But he didn’t get the votes of the two female judges that is why he wasn’t able to move to the finals. Here is a copy of his performance that I got from youtube. Enjoy!

After the performance, the judges have to choose and I can see from the expressions of the judges that they are really sad. Maybe they didn’t expect that Rico will not get the highest number of votes and they feel sorry that they have to choose between him and the Madrigal siblings who are also good in their own field, singing. The female judges have to apologize and cry because it was really difficult for them. This is just the first round, there are still five rounds for the semis and there will still a lot of jobs to do. A really hard job of choosing between two talents that can be both deserving.

Good luck to the rest of the semi-finalist.

Pilipinas Got Talent or simply PGT season 2 started last Saturday. I was able to watch the show on Sunday only and one or two acts caught my attention. One is Rico the Magician’s performance. It was really good and I think it’s time to move over, Alakim. Lol! Oopss that was just a joke! I like Alakim too and his Butterfly act. He is good at his craft and so is Rico. So here’s a video of Rico the magician’s performance last Sunday.

Yesterday after going to The Feast at Valle Verde we went to Robinsons Galleria. My mom paid some bills and after we did a little strolling and window shopping. While walking we heard voices singing Christmas carols. We didn’t know that there was a schedule of Holiday Symphony of Music. This is Robinson’s activity everyday wherein famous chorale groups will sing Christmas carols for shoppers. Yesterday’s group was the Kilyawan Boys Choir. The boys were from different age groups, I think there are boys as young as 6 or 7 years old who has a very beautiful voice. Older boys also serenaded their audience with a beautiful Christmas song. It was very relaxing listening to their songs, I’m sure their parents are very proud of them and they would give whatever Christmas gift they want even if it is an expensive toy or a gadget like psp. Who wouldn’t give in to their request if they have a son who has a very beautiful voice and can sing in front of many people very confidently?

There are still other performances to catch, today until the 22nd there will be three different chorale groups who will perform. If you will do your shopping in Robinsons Galleria or within the vicinity do drop by at 5pm at the activity area and listen to the Chorale Groups as they sing Christmas carols.

Showtime second grand finals happened last Saturday. There were 10 grand finalists who competed for the title of Showtime Second Grand Champion. Most of the contestants were group dancers who performed cramping, break dancing and hip hop dancing. There were also Black light hand mime performers, gymnastics group and interpretative dance group. I am sure all the contestants gave their best in preparing for the grand competition. For sure some members developed dark circles under eyes because of sleepless nights due to practices to master their routine. But all their efforts were not put to waste because all the performances were really great and entertaining.

20 hurados(judges) and Vice Ganda had the difficult task of judging the ten Grand finalist.  For sure it was really difficult giving scores to each of the contestants because they are all deserving to be part of the grand finals but of course like any other competition there will be only one winner and it was the Laoag City Gymnastics Group who performed a breath taking gymnastic exhibition. Congratulations to the group and I hope they will go to different countries to represent the Philippines in different Gymnastic competition.
