The Philippine Idol Finale at the Big Dome , the Araneta Coliseum rocked!
Jan Nieto, Gian Carlo Magdangal and Mau Marcelo hug each other after their Finale number. After all these months of hard work , tears and laughter, it must be a relief for them to have reached this far.
It is a close fight for all three of them. Since Philippine Idol started, it was Gian whom I thought will be the First Philippine Idol . The Finale show revealed a lot. Though I have never really liked Jan Nieto from the start, he grew on me the last 3 shows, Tonight, I liked him because he showed so much energy in his songs. He definitely raised the bar for the finale. I will not be surprised if he wins the Philippine Idol title.
Before anything else, I was wondering why there were many vacant seats in the Araneta Coliseum. I thought all the tickets were out. Sadly, there were so many vacant seats at the upper boxes. The Philippine Idol fans were looking all over for tickets. So I am wondering, what happened to these empty seats?
As usual I didn’t get my reserved tickets because of some miscommunication. But thanks to Evelyn Joseph who recognized me and my husband at the gate. We got patron seats and got seated a few seats behind the jduges.
The sounds were terrible. In fact at the beginning I could barely hear the judges’ comments. The venue rocked with the cheering fans of Jan , Mau and Gian. The noisiest and most organized belonged to Jan Nieto. In blue and silver pompons, the fans rooted and yelled loudly.
The songs sang by the Top 3 were as follows:
1. Gian Magdangal: Impossible Dream, Volare, Flying Without Wings
3. Jan Nieto: My Love Will Always Be with You , Sway, Evergreen
3. Mau Marcelo: Love Takes Time To Heal, Balut, On My Own
And the winner for each round in my opinion are as follows:
First Round- Jan Nieto
Second Round- Jan Nieto
Third Round- Mau Marcelo
