I’d like to post this interesting comment by Alex on

I have been a follower of American Idol and Philippine Idol. I don’t want to be really hard-hitting but I am terribly DISAPPOINTED with the handling of local franchise for several reasons:
1. RYAN AGONCILLO is a poor choice for host. Cute face? Yes. Good emcee? Forget it. He was reading spiels without understanding what is going on. Lots of booboos. C’mon, KC Montero could have done this better even without reading scripts.
2. THE DIZZYING TV SCHEDULE CHANGES. Very annoying. Will the show start at 8pm? 830pm? 9pm? 930pm? Or has it started early at 730pm and nobody nows except the people at SM Megamall? And then they are moving the main show again on Sundays and results night to Mondays, from the original Saturday performance night and Sunday results night. Parang merry-go-round ang schedule.
3.HEART EVANGELISTA. Is she really needed? Wala namang ganito sa American Idol. Female co-host on a different time slot? I find this weird.
4. VANISHING ABC5 TV SIGNAL. Go southward and only GMA-7 is available on your ordinary TV antenna. Very annoying. If you have cable or satellite TV, maybe. But millions of regular pinoys don’t have cable or satellite TV, especially in the rural areas. So are you going to expect people fom far flung areas to vote?

@alex - I agree, sobra nakakadisappoint. They could’ve should have planned it well, they’ve risked it too far-off the scale. Wow Mali is totally different from an Idol franchise, kaya hindi sana sila umasa na biglang papatok sa tsamba ang P.I. I believe that Philippine Idol could make it to the top… with proper planning, preparation & follow through (whatever that means, hehe)
as for your list:
1. Iisa facial expression. He can be a good poker player though… lolz
2. It happens when they try to avoid clashing with the big boy’s network.
3. That’s how pinoy producers look at it, pampalubag kumbaga. “Let’s put in a big star para makahatak ng ratings.”
4. Uberly good point ;)

Thanks Alex!
