Pinoy Idol Top Three Finalists revealed; Jayann Bautista, Gretchen Espina and Ram Chavez

Pinoy Idol finally revealed the top three finalists to battle on August 17 at SMX Mall of Asia and these are Jayann Bautista, Gretchen Espina and Ram Chavez. It was indeed another shocking moment for the three judges of GMA 7’s reality talent search after Richard Gutierrez announced the final results of the votes.

Idol hopefuls, Kid Camaya and Daryl Celis were the two who got eliminated based on the total text votes they earned from their supporters. Before the announcement of the results, Pinoy Idol judges’ Ogie Alcasid, Jolina Magdangal and Wyngard Tracy was then asked by Raymond Gutierrez who among these five idol aspirants deserves to be in the top three  of Pinoy Idol and they unanimously answered; Jay Ann Bautista, Kid Camaya and Ram Chavez. Unfortunately, their observations once again failed to happen this time. Quezon City’s’ bet Kid Camaya and Antipolos’ heart rob, Daryl Celis did not made it to be part of the top three while Governors’ only daughter, Gretchen Espina successfully landed as one of the top three finalists joining Jayann and Ram on the spot.

My thoughts never failed me each and every results night of Pinoy Idol. I was telling myself and the people around me that Kid Camaya will not be included in the top three finalists and I was right. Based on his remarkable performance of “Careless Whisper” last Saturday, I must say that he really impressed me a lot. He had a great improvement when it comes to his style and vocal gymnastics that is why judges of the show were also disappointed when he failed to be part of the top three. It’s just that, votes for Kid were not enough to save Him in the competition. (So sad for Kid!) Daryl Celis’ interpretation of “I’ll never say Goodbye” of Martin Nievera was okay though, I must say that it wasn’t that great and powerful enough. Jayann Bautista on the other hand also failed to give justice to the song “Finally” on a perfect tune; she had some ‘flats’ and ‘sharps’ while singing Fergies’ latest cut maybe because of the nerves, yet,  among the three finalists now, I would rather vote for Jay Ann.

Surely, Espina clan is celebrating for their much awaited success, now that their ‘unica hija’ Gretchen will compete for the title, Pinoy Idol which is possible enough to happen considering the votes earned by her. (I guess text brigade for Gretchen is currently ongoing!)It is so possible that Gretchen Espina will be the one who’ll take home P5.7 Million of the total prizes and be hailed as the first Pinoy Idol. (Yahoo!)

Let’s all wait and see if my inkling will come to reality (Madam Auring?!) as Pinoy Idol ends it all up on Saturday, the final gala performance night of the top three idol finalists, Jayann, Gretchen and Ram. And the predictable results on Sunday, right after Kap’s Amazing Stories as we witness the victory of the very first Pinoy Idol.
