So okay, it has been decided by the audience and the jury that Joshua the Yoyo Trickster is the First Ultimate Talentadong Pinoy.

While the rest have really nothing to lose, as all of them are already winners and enjoying careers that became after they were discovered in the show Talentadong Pinoy, but I really would have wanted another winner. He was not even in my Top 3 list. I would have wanted either Wan Lu, Makatatawanan, or the Tribal Dancers. Oh well, but I am not the judge.

Anyway, here are the contenders:

1. The Tribal Dancers
2. Far East Acrobats: The Gutierrez Family
3. Wan Lu the Puppeteer
4. Joshua Yoyo Trickster
5. Singer Leah Patricio
6. Omar the Ladder Balancer
7. Ferdinand Clemente a.k.a. Makatatawanan
8. Wild card, JacquelineExcept for Jacqueline the blind young singer, everyone hurdled five weeks of fierce competitions. As for my husband, he said he was okay with anyone winning except for Leah Patricio.

Last week, Pilipinas Got Talent, the franchise talent search, was first aired on ABS-CBN on the same timeslot as Talentadong Pinoy of TV5.

We have always watched Talentadong Pinoy every Saturday. I even blogged about it one time that they really should give a bigger prize to the Hall of Famer because it is not easy to win for five consecutive weeks. And I am thankful that the seven talents who made it to the Hall of Fame will be able to compete for the Ultimate Talentadong Pinoy title next Saturday for the Talentadong Pinoy Battle of the Champions to be held at the Araneta Coliseum. Up until tonight, they are still looking for the wild card who will join the battle.

Anyway, last week we decided to check Pilipinas Got Talent. I can only describe it in one word–BORING. Talentadong Pinoy is more interesting. I dunno, it is the show itself. Unlike America’s Got Talent or Britain’s Got Talent where the show is already entertaining in itself, I got bored like the judges themselves. I would really like to see Kris as her taray and taklesa self, as it will really make the show more interesting, but I am sure she will not do that and risk losing votes for brother Noynoy Aquino who is running for President. Really, I find the show boring. So sorry, but Pilipinas Got Talent did not tickle our fancy and so after a few minutes, we went back to watching Talentadong Pinoy. We just love this show, the hosts, and the talent scouts.

Additionally, what is with the Pilipinas Got More Talent? At first I did not understand what the show was about. Then I thought it was the auditions, until I got to see that the auditions were hosted by Luis Manzano and Billy Joe Crawford, who, I should say are really good together as hosts. They can really host a show, but sadly, even their hosting prowess could not make me stay glued to the show. Okay, going back to Pilipinas Got More Talent. I hate to say this, but what is this show for? And Mark Abaya? He is OA. He is just overdoing the wacky bit and he is not effective. He is not a funny man and he is just trying to be one. Sorry, I don’t like him at all. Both the show and the host are not effective. Erk! I would rather much have that funny guy on Showtime who is actually a band member? I forgot his name or the name of the band, but I cannot forget the face of that funny guy. Now, I think he should have been host of Pilipinas Got More Talent.

Oh well whatever, I just won’t watch these shows.

By the way, for the Ultimate Talentadong Pinoy, my bets are either Wan Lu, Makatatawanan or the Tribal Fire Dancers. We will see.
