Being part of the Bottom Four upsets Iñaki

August 17, 2008 7:26 PM

Miguel is now on his fifth straight week in the Bottom Four position. But unlike his quite dramatic acceptance last week, Miguel was cool with this week’s setup. After the Gala Night, he was congratulated by the Mentors for putting on a good show. Based on their opinion, the Romantic Crooner’s show tonight is definitely the best show he had given so far. Direk Joey was very proud of the lad because he started to sing his age, at last.

Miguel’s Academy best buddy, Iñaki, on the other hand wasn’t able to keep his cool upon knowing that he, too, is part of the Bottom Four. He wasn’t able to hold back his tears. Luckily, his co-Scholars were there to comfort him. Miguel took part in the said comfort session, too saying that he shouldn’t worry much and that he should just enjoy by going with the flow.

On the other side of the room, consistent Top Three Scholar, Bugoy found comfort by himself. While his co-Scholars were gathered in the dining area to share food and stories, he stayed alone inside the boys’ room. He looked somehow distressed about something. What could possibly be bothering the Farmer’s Son? Is he ready for his duet tomorrow with no other than PinoyDreamAcademy Season 1’sGrand Star Dreamer Yeng Constantino on ASAP? Keep it here for more of the Scholars’ adventures!

Bugoy duets with Yeng Constantino on ASAP ‘08

August 17, 2008 3:54 PM

The Acadreamians were anxious all morning as they awaited Bugoy’s ASAP ’08 stint. Early this afternoon, they were again called to gather in the living room to view their co-scholar’s impressive performance with PDA Season 1 Grand Star Winner Yeng Constantino.

As Bugoy went on stage, the scholars observed the reverberating cheer of the audience. They gushed on about his sheer voice quality and how he bagged his performance.

The Farmer’s Son on the other hand couldn’t explain the thrill and happiness with his debut and was brought to tears. Though he was quite nervous and wasn’t feeling well recently, he still delivered a remarkable number which everyone definitely appreciated.

Meanwhile, Teacher Monet delivered the scholars’ theme for the next Gala night via plasma television. Celebrities appeared on screen and announced their favorite Acadreamian. Some of which were Zanjoe Marudo, Pops Fernandez and Gary Valenciano. Soon enough, the Voice Mentor revealed that the scholars would be performing with celebrities. Miguel told the scholars that he would be singing with Sheryn Regis and he was already given his piece earlier. Who among the celebrities would the scholars be paired with?

Outside world welcomes expelled Scholar Bunny

August 17, 2008 12:13 AM

For the past few weeks, Bunny was pretty much preoccupied with thoughts about her throat problem and her extreme homesickness.For the longest time, she had been looking forward for her expulsion so that she could see her family once again. Tonight, her wish came true after the public laid down their verdict after the Scholars presented their fantastic counterpoint performances.

The Teacher Wife couldn’t help but burst into tears upon hearing the results. According to her, the said tears were tears of joy, because finally she will be with her family outside the Academy. She was able to garner 39.65 percent of the total text votes, while Sen took with him a total of 60.35 percent.

After being given another chance inside the Academy, Sen faced the odds again as he stood in front of his co-Scholars as part of this week’s Bottom Four. Joining him in the pit of frustration were Iñaki, Cris, and Miguel. Fortunately for the Cancer Survivor, luck was on his side two times tonight because the Dream Mentors decided to hand him another shot inside the Academy as they saved him from this week’s probation night.

On the other hand, Laarni still couldn’t believe that she was declared this week’s Star Scholar. Her counterpoint performance with Bugoy, the Farmer’s Son who also made a spot on the Top Three, earned her a grade of 8.97. The jurors, composed of Louie Ocampo, Lani Misalucha, and Gerard Ocampo, were indeed impressed with her performance tonight. They just couldn’t deny the fact that she is indeed gifted with a wonderful voice.

Honorary Scholar Poy made it to the Top Three again. Her counterpoint with Van may not be as good as the jurors may have expected, but it didn’t fail to highlight her great voice quality, which also gained acknowledgements from the panel of judges. Aside from their counterpoint, her duet with Liezel too received a lot of commendations. The crowd loved their rendition of Got to be Real.

Tomorrow night, it will be the Little Dreamers’ time to shine. Who among the kids will be taking the Most Outstanding Little Dreamer title this week? Who among them has to leave? Find out by watching PinoyDreamAcademy Season 2 Little Dreamers’ 6th Gala Night, tomorrow right after Goin’ Bulitlit!

Sen and Bunny tandem experience difficulties

August 16, 2008 12:19 AM

Unfortunately for the probationary pair, Sen and Bunny, the latter’s throat seems to lack cooperation. Yesterday, during their supposed practice with Teacher Monet, Bunny’s throat problem took its toll. No matter how hard she tried to push through with the practice, she just couldn’t since she had no voice to start with. Feeling frustrated, the Teacher Wife broke down in tears. She was feeling sorry for herself, and her partner who has to suffer with her as well. Teacher Monet tried to calm her down by saying that all she needed was enough rest to regain her voice. He insisted that they skip on the rehearsal that day in order to avoid pushing her throat to its limit. This made her feel more miserable, since she claimed that they do need that day’s practice.

Upon their return inside the Academy, Bunny’s burst of emotions continued. She assumed a position near the bathroom to hide her sobbing from her co-Scholars. Cris noticed Bunny so she immediately approached her with consolation. Just like what Teacher Monet did, she also tried to calm her down.

Sen, on the other hand, was growing really concerned with Bunny’s worsening voice. He said that he fully understands what his partner was going through, but it couldn’t help but worry him of their counterpoint duo. He claimed that her failure could also result to his failure, and he doesn’t want that. Considering that they are probationary Scholars this week, he said that it is their duty to prove themselves unworthy of being expelled from the Academy.

Cris and Liezel shared their own opinions regarding Bunny’s setback. They said that they have seen how hard the Teacher Wife pushed herself to do her best, and it is already time for her to give it a rest. According to them, Bunny’s struggles, both with her voice and with her extreme homesickness, are growing worse as days pass by, so they might as well see her outside the Academy, together with her family. Will the viewing public agree with Cris and Liezel’s opinion? Find out tomorrow on PinoyDreamAcademySeason 2’s 9^th Gala Night, after Varga!
