The Voice Philippines Finale was held yesternight and on September 28. All performances were amazing but some were more & beyond and even close to perfection. It's already 2:00am of Monday and the last day of September yet I am still awake and a bit bewildered with the outcome of The Voice of the Philippines Finale; I thought that I could sleep (agad) after happily watching Vice Ganda's Gandang Gabi Vice with his very handsome guest Richard Gutierrez (a rare guesting at an ABS-CBN show), pero hindi pa rin pala.
I just can't get over with the result of the votes of the Superb Singing-Talent Show in my most fave and the only Kapamilya network. What happened to the voting lines or the system? It is like it is more than a technical glitch, ano ito dayaan? Scam? I really can't help but think.
I wouldn't be much that puzzled if only my votes and my family votes got in! I have three cellphones with a total of 5 sims; so I did type VOICE KLARISSE and send it as soon as the voting lines were opened. I am waiting for a confirmation that my vote was counted, 5mins... 8mins... then boom after 30mins, I received a confirmation that reads "The Voice: The Voice of the Philippines voting is closed...." my reaction was, seriously? Really?
I would be honest I don't like the result. Because of the reasons:
1) I preferred Janice over Mitoy.
2) Klarisse is more consistent, throughout the competition. She is more versatile, she can sing like a sweet angel, she can belt like an amplifier, she can sing & rock any genre with purity and clarity. And no doubt she can put a lot of soul and emotions on a song that might have not reflect her life experiences (as she was just 17 years old). They say she's young, might not experienced a lot of troubles in life but yet she put the right amount of emotions to make her performances believable and relate-able.
Of course I got a bit upset with the result. I really like Janice and Klarisse to be on the last battle. They are the most versatile and their voice can do any vocal calisthenics. And this choice is not about because I am a big Sarah fan nor Apl De Ap is my biggest rap-idol, the choice has really nothing to do with it.
At early stages of the competition, my choice were these:
Lee, Janice, Radha, Klarisse, Morissette; it may seems I'm too feminist but nope it is because among the good talents out there they really shone the brightest.
On the latter part of the competition, I grew to enjoy all the 8-Quarterfinalists. I enjoy the knockdown-round between the remaining 2 artists of the same group/team. It was a bit painful to watch Morissette go and Radha go because they were also equally deserving of the spot.
I even hope that I could see in Finals Morissette and Klarisse which is impossible to happen with the kind of format the show had. I also dreamed of seeing Radha vs Janice showdown in Finale. In short, Mitoy was really not in the picture of my "Finale-fantasy".
Don't get me wrong though,I agree that he deserves the spot on the FINAL FOUR, for he also worked hard for it. But just like how Coach Lea have grade it, I have also rate Radha higher than Mitoy on that Face-Off.
Then come Finals; I'm really pinning my hopes to a Janice-Klarisse showdown, unfortunately it didn't materialized.
So the ending... well for me it's disappointing; for Klarisse De Guzman is the more deserving title-holder of THE VOICE. For being young as she is, she got the right swagger, the right attitude to still fight despite past stumble (vs her coach on a reality-talent search), the hardwork, she owns the voice quality that a diva have, a stage presence/performance that can level with other professional artists and again and again the versatility to attack any genre.
What maybe lacking to her? I don't know maybe the extraordinary CHARISMA that Mitoy have. That is the only edge that Mitoy have, if I may say so. But that's really nothing for me, for I believe that even the more experienced ones can be outclassed anytime by a sheer talent of a rookie.
I wouldn't post my rants on twitter, nor make this blog if only my votes and my family's votes went in! It's unfair! And I hate it! What's more unfortunate is I'm not the only one who had experienced this kind of voting-system booboo but there were also many as I read the twits on twitter. Ang daming bumoto for Klarisse na hindi nakatanggap ng positibong kumpirmasyon?
I wonder is there a scam? Is there voting-manipulation? What happened?
------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway nothing will ever happen naman eh; I know results cannot be flipped in favor of Klarisse at all but I just want to voice out this disappointment. I am kapamilya and actually I won some of their text-games or even got called to play for a gameshow (because I they picked me thru text) but sometimes, this TEXT VOTEs they have been using for reality/talent search show was a bit tainted; parang may daya.
I hope ABS-CBN and The Voice of the Philippines will make some clarifications about it.
------------------------------------------------------------
Despite the unhappy ending for some (kasama na ako, kasi nga boto ko hindi nabilang). I still won't take away the greatness and supremacy of ABS-CBN in creating a great FINALE for a show. The Voice of The Philippines Season 1 have shown a lot of great talents, have revealed and re-opened the door to already professional artists (who have once gone from the limelight), and welcomed new breeds of artists that will be the now & the next of the music industry, they have the great set of Coaches and great hosts. I really applaud the whole team of thevoicePH, kudos to Mr. Johnny Manahan and the whole company. And also thank you and I salute all the artists/performers who have graced the show.
Sobrang ganda ng Season 1 (kahit di ko gusto yung pinaka-ending); overall it made a huge impact. And I hope no one of the Final Four will be snob and just be rotten & forgotten; I hope the coaches will truly help them to pursue their career and I hope ABS-CBN will be willingly so. If no opportunities at ABS-CBN, I hope TV5 or GMA will adopt them they were too good to pass up, especially Klarisse and Janice.
Sana magka-album din si Morissette and Radha. I hope Thor, Myk and Paolo will be mainstays of ASAP too. Si Mitoy, he won naman eh kaya no problem na.
I am hopin' & wishin' for the best to everyone but still for me between Mitoy and Klarisse; Klarisse is the more deserving to be named as The Voice of The Philippines. (I really can't help but to emphasize it).
If Klarisse didn't made it last night, I hope she'll get discovered by Foreign Record Label, 'wag sanang masayang yung talento. Then I hope Janice could live on America and be an American Citizen so that she could join the American Idol, The Voice US or The X Factor.... kasi ibang klase talento nya. It would be unfair for such talent na dito lang makilala, sana they could make it to the global scene.
Good luck to all of them and God bless.
