It’s week 7 of the X Factor Philippines live performance with
only 6 contestants remaining. That means we are just a few more weeks away from
finding out who is the first ever grand winner for the X Factor Philippines season
1. But before that, as usual, we await the performances.
But before everyone started performing,
an opening number from the L.A. Dancers kicked off tonight’s show. Afterwards,
it’s on with the anticipated performances of the night after the break.
In tonight’s live performance,
contestants are performing the hits of immortalized Pinoy rock bands
Eraserheads and Rivermaya. Here’s what the finalists have come up with for this
episode (in order of performance):
Daddy’s Home – “Himala” by
Rivermaya
Gabriel Maturan – “Hinahanap-hanap
Kita” by Rivermaya
Jeric Medina – “214” by Rivermaya
KZ Tandingan – “Kisapmata” by Rivermaya
Kedebon Colim – “Toyang” by Eraserheads
Allen Jane Sta. Maria – “With
a Smile” by Eraserheads
Some noticeable points:
Four Rivermaya songs were
chosen and only two for Eraserheads with the first four performances all choosing
Rivermaya tracks and the last two opting for Eraserheads. I’d say everyone got
a suitable song tonight.
Another noticeable point is
that only Martin Nievera’s team remains complete with all three boys Jeric,
Gabriel, and yes, even Kedebon still in the show. Two girls, KZ and Allen remain
for Charice Pempengco and the girls while Gary V. has only one act left, Daddy’s
Home, for the groups. Ms. Pilita Corales no longer has any representatives left
for the over 25 with Joan Da eliminated last week through a judge’s decision with
all three judges except Ms. Pilita voting her out.
Thoughts on Week 7 Performances
As for the X Factor
Philippines live performance tonight, Daddy’s Home is consistent with their
melodic rhymes and blending. Gabriel used his falsetto voice weapon again which
started with his week 5 performance of Rainbow by South Border. Ms. Pilita
calls him the dark horse of the competition, which may as well become true. Sometimes
the unusual suspects win. Jeric on the other hand had the appropriate voice for
his song. It’s just the right easy type of rock. As always, KZ rocked the
house. Her version is something no one has ever heard before. She’s definitely
just unique and is a force to reckon with. It’s no wonder that her fellow contenders
think of her as a threat. Another potential threat is Kedebon and his lively
personality and performances. No one can deny the enormous following he shares,
just over the web alone. Well, these include both bashers and fans anyway. Allen,
who was in the bottom two last week is the last to perform tonight. Her version
sounded more of a Regine Velasquez theme than of Eraserheads.
But let’s find out who goes
home tomorrow night. I’m seeing a trend that whoever has already landed on the
bottom two at least once is more likely to be eliminated the next time the same
act is found lacking again in terms of votes. So will Allen be on the bottom
two again? Who will be the other contender who will be in danger of being sent
home? These will be answered tomorrow night. For now, that’s it for the X
Factor Philippines live performance week 7.
