Scholars face a bigger challenge

July 29, 2008 2:56 AM

After putting up a show that Direk Joey claims to be their best among all the others, it seemed as if the Academy was forced to make the competition more challenging for the Scholars. Their 8.5 GPA was a proof that the Scholars are now ready for the next level—a tougher and rougher challenge.

To start with the test, the Academy placed an Honorary Scholar, Poy, tasked to make the Scholars exert more effort every week. But aside from that, there was another test introduced to the Scholars that will surely work out all their vocal muscles to its limits.

For their 7^th Gala Performance Night, the Scholars will be having a “Face-off Challenge.” The remaining ten Official Scholars were paired up for a one on one competition. And sadly, the consequence for the losing party is definitely a painful one—an automatic probationary status.

Unfortunately, the Scholars didn’t have the privilege of choosing their songs. Just like with the names of their rivals, the songs were chosen for them. Liezel and Laarni was the first pair to sing Listen and ‘Di Ko Kayang Tanggapin, successively. Liezel admitted that she is somehow threatened of being braced up with Laarni. She was very much aware of Laarni’s good voice quality, and she was concerned that she might not be able to beat her. Somehow, this was Apple’s concern too upon hearing that her opponent will be Bugoy. And though Bunny has a problem with her throat, Cris was still threatened that she is way better than her.

While the three above mentioned pairs were concerned on the possibility of failure, the two remaining pairs, Van and Sen’s and Miguel and Iñaki’s, were more concerned of the fact that they have to compete against their best buds inside the Academy. Given the circumstances, will they be able to put their best foot forward at the expense of their best friend’s dream?
