KZ Tandingan: Debut Album Out Now!
17 May, 2013 8:04 PM
Wondering where she's been hiding all this time? KZ was crowned the inaugural winner of the X Factor Philippines back in October. We've gotten nothing from her since, besides the occasional TV appearance. 5 months later, here she is, with a brand new album and single. Released on May 3, the self titled debut showcases her gorgeous tone to perfection, "Umiibig" is one of the songs that comes to mind. It's a relief to see that she's stayed truth to herself, with her jazz roots staying intact. Her original cover of "Killing Me Softly" is also a stand out, with her emotional first single "Scared to Death" also worth a listen and the slow "Bakit Lumuluha" the stunner of the album. All in all, a wonderful first effort from an insanely talented singer. She has a bright future ahead and I intend following it.

06 October, 2012 3:29 PM
Jeric Medina, who was considered a front runner, left the competition last week after yet another average performance. Only 4 remain now and the stakes are higher than ever since only 3 of them can advance to next week's big finale. Who will it be? Balladeer Gabriel Maturan? Cutie Allen Sta Maria? Quirky KZ Tandingan? Or the one group left, Daddy's Home? ... It's time to face the muisc!

X Factor Philippines 2012: Top 5 Recap
23 September, 2012 5:04 PM
Last week we finally saw the awful Kedebon Colim leaving the competition when he faced Daddy's Home in the final showdown. I've no doubt that no one will miss him. Since we are already down to the Top 5, I've decided to include all the remaining acts into this post, so it's basically a recap now. The final 5 will be singing "Revival songs", which would be a cover of a cover. I know, weird and boring. Who picks this themes?

X Factor Philippines 2012: Top 6 Highlights
16 September, 2012 5:47 PM
Exquisite Joan Da left the competition last week after failing to impress once more and ending in the B2 along Allen, who arguably delivered her best performance yet. For the remaining six contestants, the theme is songs by Eraserheads and Rivermaya, two Filipino's popular groups during the 90s. I've not many expectations for tonight but hopefully, someone can impress me.

X Factor Philippines 2012: Top 7 Highlights
13 September, 2012 10:17 PM
Boyband Take Off left the competition last week, when they faced Joan Da in the B2, who arguably, gave her best performance to date. There's only 1 Group remaining, 2 Girls, 3 Boys and 1 Over. The remaining 7 contestants will be singing songs from the 80s, a boring and predictable theme, though it should give us some good performances.

X Factor Philippines 2012: Top 8 Highlights
06 September, 2012 7:02 PM
Boring Modesto Taran left the competition the past week, with even his own mentor voting to eliminate him. This week, the contestants will be singing original pinoy music and 8 will become 7. Will a new fave emerge tonight or will an old fave continue its race to the top?

X Factor Philippines 2012: Top 9 Highlights
27 August, 2012 6:32 PM
To my shock, AKA Jam, one of my favourite acts on this show, left the competition after they ended in the bottom along Daddy's Home. I was truly expecting the judges to save the girls, or at least the public, but it wasn't meant to be. I hope the girls continue making music together, though it's unlikely. With that out of my system, the remaining nine contestants took on their idols last weekend and one more contestant left the competition and to my surprise, I was very pleased with the result.

X Factor Philippines 2012: Top 10 Highlights
20 August, 2012 10:44 PM
Mark Mabasa saw the end of his XF dream last week when he found himself in the bottom with Take Off. Tonight, the contestants are singing rock music. The list adds another act this week but there's a major shocker tonight. One of my favourites is leaving. You'll never guess who went home ...

X Factor Philippines 2012: Top 11 Highlights
14 August, 2012 9:01 PM
A week has passed and with it, another XF Philippines liveshow. Jerrianne Templo was eliminated last week, when finding herself in the B2 with highlight Joan Da. There're no major changes this week, just one contestant managed to shine a little more and thus earned a place in the list. The theme was songs with the word "life" or "buhay" in the title, an extremely lazy and boring theme. Who was your fave tonight?

X Factor Philippines 2012: Top 12 Highlights
05 August, 2012 7:27 PM
This is a show I never thought I'll be posting about but since all the shows I usually cover on the blog are currently off the air, I decided I'll do a little something on this, just cause I'm really bored. Haha. The X Factor Philippines premiered on June 23 and is judged by Gary Valenciano, Pilita Corrales, Martin Nievera and Charice, who you may remember from Glee's second season in which she palyed Sunshine Corazon. Since I'm really not interested in doing a full recap of the show, I'll just be posting some highlights from the liveshows.
