Before it was launched, there was skepticism among the local entertainment press about Philippine Idol as singing contests are common in local television, with recent ones branded as Idol knockoffs. The Filipino culture of "westernized conservatism" was also noted, as Pinoys tend to shy away from direct criticism especially in front of cameras. The culture of the Philippines reflects the complexity of the History of the Philippines through the blending of cultures of diverse indigenous civilizations with characteristics Pinoy is a Demonym referring to Filipino people in the United States, the Philippines and around the world.

The twelve finalists were present that night, but only performed at the beginning and end of the show. Likewise, Magalona, Corrales, and Cayabyab took a back seat, appearing in clips taking their "times off". Taking over jury duties that night were comedic performers Ethel Booba, Arnell Ignacio, and Tuesday Vargas. Ethyl Gabison, also known by her stage name Ethel Booba, is a Filipino TV personality and comedian Arnell Ignacio is a Filipino Game show host Comedian and Actor. [43] Although the event served as a breather, voting was still active, involving viewers picking the performer who should be proclaimed Kakaibang Idol. The next night, with finalists and judges present, Kenneth Paul "Yova" Alonzo—a transgender call center agent from Cebu City—was chosen by viewers as Kakaibang Idol.

I ♥ Philippine Idol: Exclusive

I ♥ Philippine Idol: Exclusive, originally Philippine Idol: Exclusive, is a thirty-minute daily program that features updates, news and behind-the-scene footages of the show. Since its premiere on August 14, 2006, a male voice talent (who also voices the plugs for ABC programs) has been facilitating the program, with appearances by Jmie Mempin who is also a production associate of Philippine Idol. Events 1183 - Taira no Munemori and the Taira clan take the young Emperor Antoku and the three sacred treasures Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar.

Controversies

Auditions

A Fast-Track audition that was to be held at SM City Sta. Mesa was canceled, leading to complaints from hopefuls and their parents. After hours of waiting, a representative of ABC arrived and relocated each of the 160 frustrated applicants to other scheduled screening. [46] Meanwhile, Filipinos living in Mindanao reacted negatively to what Philippine Idol judges said after a low Gold Pass turnout at the Davao Main Auditions, with Corrales (a Cebuana herself) saying that "Davao is not the place to look for an Idol" and "all the good ones are in Cebu". The Cebuano people usually refers to those whose native tongue is Cebuano, but more specifically the people who live in the province of Cebu. [47] Corrales later clarified in the Wildcard Round that she said such a statement because of the low turnout in the Davao auditions and the even lower Gold Pass output. She added that "Davao's best talents" might have probably auditioned earlier in Manila.

Talent piracy

ABC confirmed that a Gold Passer (later identified in the show's official website as Czarina Rose Rosales) was pirated by ABS-CBN's Pinoy Dream Academy, the Philippine franchise of Star Academy. Star Academy is a highly successful television show format produced by Endemol, that has been broadcast in over 50 countries [21][48] Sources said that representatives of ABS-CBN even approached a judge to "just let (some of) the contestants go". [49] This came after news that ABS-CBN wanted to co-produce Philippine Idol with ABC, but was denied. [50] ABS-CBN sent a letter to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, which published the said report denying the allegations. The network added that they successfully staged competitions without taking contestants from other contests and would fully respect a contestant's choice as to which competition they would join. [51] Auditions for Pinoy Dream Academy were being held before the Theater eliminations. ABC then sent a formal letter of complaint to ABS-CBN, alleging that three Gold Passers of Philippine Idol became contestants of Pinoy Dream Academy. The latter did not comment on the letter, as neither of the three talents questioned became a finalist of that show. [52]

Vote padding

Upon the announcement of the first four male finalists, there were viewers of the show who had negative reactions regarding its format. They were shocked, disappointed, and were left complaining as two of the contestants that were favored by the judges based on their performances failed to make the cut. Instead, two others who had rather bad reviews from the jurors took the spots. [53] Viewers critical to the program concluded that it was just another "popularity contest" rather than a singing competition. Cayabyab mentioned that people should not be complacent regarding the contestants' status on the show, and advised them to keep on voting for their favorites because of the show's uncertainty. [54] This criticism was also reflected during the Womens' Semi-finals, as talent critics believed two contenders that failed to make the cut should have become finalists. Critics also noted that viewers did not take heed to the judges' remarks about performance. [55] Torre stated in his article that the results of Philippine Idol Semi-finals revealed that viewers were not yet knowledgeable or objective enough to pick the first Idol, and pointed to the compromised voting based on "subjective campaigns" from some of the semi-finalists' backers. [56] He later commented that the show did not affirm a contestant's popularity but "the determination and deep pockets of his supporters. "[45] This was supported on a report published by the Manila Bulletin about contestants who "buy their way to the top". The Manila Bulletin ( (also known as the Bulletin and was previously known as Bulletin Today) is the Philippines Cayabyab divulged that he did not expect the way people voted and would see if that trend would continue in the coming weeks. However, he admitted that such campaigns were part of the game. [57]

Looks over talent

During the Results Show of the Wildcard Round, Marcelo jokingly said that Philippine Idol is not a singing contest but a "pagandahan" (beauty contest), which received a thunderous applause and laughter (especially from Cayabyab). Her statement was interpreted in two ways: as a way of venting out her frustrations in the voting process or as a means of sarcasm. She later made it to the Finals. In a later interview in I ♥ Philippine Idol: Exclusive, she said that she did not mean anything. Marcelo later apologized for her remarks during the Finale's post-results show press conference. [58] The judges were also scored by viewers for their constant comments about contestants who should lose weight, especially Marcelo. Marcelo admitted getting hurt by comments on so-called physical flaws, adding that she entered a "singing contest" not a "dancing competition". Cayabyab said that he avoids commenting on the singer's physical attributes. [39]

Cayabyab losing cool

Cayabyab had shown signs of frustration during Results Shows where the best performers of the previous night got eliminated. He finally expressed his disgust over the results after Sajor's elimination, calling it "dreadful". He also appeared to have surrendered the prospect of finding the best singer in the contest, predicting that it would be a "lightweight competition" with contestants singing nursery rhymes. A nursery rhyme is a traditional Song or Poem taught to young children originally in the nursery. [59]

Transition to Pinoy Idol

Main article: Pinoy Idol

It was announced in a report in ABC's early evening news show Sentro that a second season of Philippine Idol was in the works. For Associated Broadcasting Company's former Idol franchise see Philippine Idol. Sentro (Filipino word for "Center" is an evening news broadcast of Associated Broadcasting Company in the Philippines. This was also announced by Marcelo during the concert of the Final 12 at Araneta Coliseum on March 23, 2007. Events 1174 - Jocelin, Abbot of Melrose, is elected Bishop of Glasgow. Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. However, rumors began to spread that Philippine Idol would not be having a second season as planned, while major station GMA Network was planning to acquire the Idol franchise. [60][61] Sources claimed that ABC incurred heavy losses in the previous season, primarily because of low advertisement placements despite being a widely-followed show. [60] ABC officials asserted that it was still under negotiation with FremantleMedia about the second season, but admitted that they would not make it in time for a July 2007 premiere as planned and would instead mark Asian Idol as its "big launch". [62][63] However, they said that there was a possibility that GMA was negotiating about Idol as well since it already had local franchises of Celebrity Duets and Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?, both from FremantleMedia. This article is about the original TV series for the Philippine edition see Celebrity Duets Philippine Edition. For information related to a version of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? airing in a specific country see International versions below [61]

On September 16, 2007, FremantleMedia officially announced that the Idol franchise would be given to GMA Network under the name Pinoy Idol. Events 1400 - Owain Glyndŵr is declared Prince of Wales by his followers Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. [64] FremantleMedia representative Geraldine Bravo said that it was "very fortunate" to find a new partner, while GMA Network's Senior Vice President for Entertainment Wilma Galvante added that both parties have agreed that the network "has the experience, the resources, and the people to mount talent-search programs". [10] Reports said that GMA plans to treat Pinoy Idol as a completely different show, without referring to Philippine Idol as its "first season" and not recognizing Marcelo as the "first winner". [10] Agoncillo and Cayabyab would not reprise their roles in the new Idol show as they will appear in the second season of Pinoy Dream Academy. [64]

ABC was reportedly sore about the deal, saying through its Senior Vice President for Corporate Affairs Terra Daffon that the network was willing to buy only Idol with no other packages attached, but FremantleMedia has apparently found a better deal with GMA, "a giant" compared to their network which was a "Jack trying to climb the beanstalk". Jack and the Beanstalk is an English Fairy tale, closely associated with the tale of Jack the Giant Killer. It was also saddened by reports that GMA would relaunch the show and further commented that GMA's move to acquire FremantleMedia programs was a complete turnaround from its previous vow not to "buy" foreign franchise. ABC commented that GMA seemed set in battling rival ABS-CBN anew as the latter had four franchises from Endemol. Endemol is a television production company based in the Netherlands, with Subsidiaries and Joint ventures in 23 countries including the United [65] Galvante, meanwhile, countered that she will not back down from what she said that GMA will not "copy" foreign franchises completely, without making adjustments to entertain local viewers. [65] This was different from her statement a year before that the network did not need to "buy" a foreign franchise to put up their own talent searches. [66] The Philippine Idol finalists who were interviewed said they have "mixed emotions" about the move, but they were looking forward for next batch of Finalists. [67] Despite ABC losing the franchise, Marcelo's participation in Asian Idol still pushed through, with the network airing the special Idol edition. Corrales also appeared in the show as one of the judges. [68]

In an article published before Pinoy Idol's premiere, Torre gave the lapses in Philippine Idol which he hoped Pinoy Idol should not replicate, such as Agoncillo's less than effective hosting style and the somewhat scripted and less wise comments of Magalona and Corrales. [69]
