KISPINOY: The Search for the next KPOP Icon

Filipinos fascination about KPOP artists and the KPOP scene is just insurmountable. The time to make this effort up a notch is now so Yun Sung Choi CEO of YU&IQ International Inc. and companies YU&IQ Entertainment (formerly RYU's Entertainment) and NH Media is launching a new show called KISPINOY hosted by hunky debonaire multi awarded superstar Richard Gutierrez. KISPINOY basically means K-POP Icon Search Pinoy Edition and it is being pushed now to be an annual thing in other Asian nations too. 

Richard Gutierrez has done several celebrated and awarded shows like Survivor Philippines, Oras Na, and others so he's definitely going to use his A game when the show starts with a 2 part premier telecast come June 27 and July 4. He will also be with the men's mag usual suspect the sexy and gorgeous Jinri Park. Richard said during an interview in Jet7 Bistro Timog Avenue that "This is something different because even of this is a talent search there will be a Korean component." It'll also be done by the people who made local talent search shows like Eat Bulaga and Talentadong Pinoy so you're sure to be entertained during TV5's Saturday Primetime slot from 9 to 10PM. It's going to be big as well because you'll have an esteemed set of judges that includes rock icon Rico Blanco and some of Korea's prominent artists to serve as judge and mentors. 

Auditions will be held in booths located at SM malls in Metro Manila, Pampanga, Cebu and Davao so you're going to only expect that we'll be having the best in the  Philippines to battle the rest of the world!

A recording contract and the chance to get to Korea plus the chance to live and train with the best performers in the land of Lee Min Ho. Doesn't that sound so good for Pinoys to love KPOP? Indeed, so support your KPOP Icon hopefuls when it airs on the happy network TV5!

Ciao!

Final Battle of Manila's Rising Stars Happens Today at Trinoma!

If you're not doing anything this Sunday, February 1 at 5PM, please do take the time to watch the biggest Singing competition in this side of the world - Rising Stars Philippines. This will happen in Trinoma Mall's Activity Center. The top 50 singers from recent auditions in Quezon City were invited back last January 29 and were narrowed down to 16. It wasn't easy because they had to go through live interviews, and auditioning in front of a panel of judges. Today, February 1 will be the Final Battle for Manila's Rising Stars, and these hopefuls will vie for the final prize which I was informed to be the biggest ever yet in singing history, make sure though that the talent equals that first! They'll be picking 2 winners from this leg so they get the chance to be in the Grand Finals to be televised soon on TV5. 

The Grand Finals will also be graced by TV5's brightest stars like Danica Sotto Pingris, Rr Enriquez, Jeck Maeirhofer, Lj Moreno-Alapag, the stars of Happy Wife Happy Life which talks about housewives of Philippine's most promising Basketball Stars. There's also Tuesday Vargas,  Wendell Ramos, Sophie Albert, Mark Neumann, Shaira Mae, Nicole Estrada, Chanel Morales, Malak So, Marvelous Manzano, Alberto Bruno who stars in the gag show "Tropa Mo Ko Nice Di Ba”. Gelli De Belen will be there, she hosts TV5's Solved Na Solved a talk show about money matters and legal problems. Not to mention the one and only Empoy who plays the twin brother of Derek Ramsay in top rating Mac And Chiz, I bet you can't wait to see them all in the flesh! You'll also love the program's hosts Ogie Alcasid and beauty queen Venus Raj who'll be the main hosts. I'll tell you later about how the picking goes because I'll be there as well!

What I like about it is that the audition process can be done via the booths they have in the major malls, the application which you can use at home, or just about any other computer that can access their website via http://www.risingstars.ph.

Artista Academy: The Grand Auditions!

 

Yesterday was fun and exciting! Thousands upon thousands of people flocked to Smart Araneta Coliseum to bid for their chance to win a whopping 20 Million Pesos in which is dubbed as the grandest, biggest reality search competition in the Philippines called Artista Academy. I'm telling you, these people were seriously contending for the top spot. Since there will be only 2 people winning this competition, a LOT of heads will roll. Imagine just this afternoon alone around 12,000 individuals lined up and were screened by judges, it was so great to see those who you could really tell may have "the potential" and those who unfortunately don't.  

Every one lined up so early, I think even before lunch time there was a throng of people outside Araneta. They were not just there to push their luck on the prize, but hoping they will be a star on the Kapatid Network!

They did rigorous screen tests. They also had tight shots so if you are a guy planning to wear make up, make sure it's not going to look like you have em. It's totally not safe to use 2 shades of foundation that does not match your skin's color. Thousands of people will see you, even the color of your teeth so in layman's terms it was really brutal.

The number was 12,000+ and it wasn't going to be easy screening them one by one. They had to give fair chance to everyone but just take a look at how serious judging was at that time. See someone familiar?

That's Ms. Wilma Galvante and some directors/executives from TV5. If you pass her standards you definitely have star quality.

There were definitely a lot of hits, but there was also a ton of misses. Everybody who's hopeful of becoming the next big star in TV5 suited up and projected as much as they can. I have quite a few favorites during the screening. Out of this 12,000 people, only 16 of them will enter the academy... I'm sure a lot of tears will come out once the competition starts! Congratulations to TV5 for a very well organized audition.

One of the hosts of this show is Marvin Agustin, he will be alongside equally good looking Cesar Montano on this BIGGEST Artista search the country has ever seen! This is a first in the country's history!

Now for some of the gorgeous guys and gals that I saw that evening.

There were actually a lot more of these good looking people in Smart Araneta Coliseum that afternoon but you'll have to wait who actually gets in or not in the show. In my honest opinion, TV5 has definitely got a treasure in their hands. It'll be something definitely worth watching out for every week when the show starts. Make sure you like their Facebook Page and Follow them on Twitter because you don't wanna miss how these hopefuls make their way into the ranks becoming TV5's ultimate winner in the first ever Artista Academy! The 20 Million Pesos will definitely change someone's life. TV5 will surely be gaining ground as this program comes full swing probably next month. Do you have your own favorites now?
