What sets this new singing contest apart from other contest on TV, are their Class A judges.
LEA SALONGA
I'm quite shocked that a lot of people on social media are annoyed in her antics. I'm a person who gets irritated so easily. Ask my friends. Anyways, i don't find her irritating. I'm quite aware of other contests like the recently concluded "Pilipinas Got Talent". Yun yung Oa mga judges. Mag pabula ka lang ng sipon malamang may "Yes" ka na. Lea maybe overacting sometimes, but I find it cute and entertaining. She is a theater actress after all. She can be also brutally honest on her comments. When she had a battle against her fellow judge Sarah Geronimo, in winning Radha's heart, she said she doesn't need to prove herself that much unlike Sarah. On previous 4 episodes, she is quite "mabenta" on contestants. When there is a battle against co-judges, most of the time contestants pick her. And who wouldn't? She is a Tony award winner after all.
SARAH GERONIMO
The youngest coach in the show or even at any The Voice franchise. People find her annoying too. I find her annoying when she makes fun of her English. Maybe she is intimidated at the other judges' accents. Do it once, it is funny. Do it twice, thrice it is irritating.
In blind auditions, she is quite picky. For the past episodes she and Bamboo chooses the same contestants. I commend that she has ears for good voice. Yun nga lang they don't pick her that much. She is also smart because she knows, although the other 3 coaches are more experienced, to know her secret weapon is her "popsters". She always mentions them when she wanted an artist to pick her. If an artist is smart enough, they should know that at the end, it is the vote of the Philippines. Her artist has a very big chance of winning the show. She is Sarah Geronimo for sake! She has a legion of heavy texter/voter fans.
APL.DE.AP
A member of black eyed peas. What I like about him is his feet is deeply planted on the ground and knows how to look back on his roots. I'm interested to know his coaching skills since he is a hip hop guy. The other coaches can do "birit", yes even Bamboo, although different kind of it. What he has that other judges may not know is how to have a international mainstream success. He knows how international scene works. And he might have connections that he can introduce to his artist.
BAMBOO
He is the reason why I watch this show religiously. There were debates earlier if who is a better fit as a coach in the show, Bamboo or Ely Buendia. I'm a more Ely Buendia fan (dati) than a Bamboo fan. As i watched the show, I can't imagine if Ely can be a good coach. In blind auditions, i guess he will have 1 liner comments such as "ok ka" or 'magaling" backed up with his poker face. Bamboo is a good judge. He chooses "game changer" and unique kind of voices plus very beautiful and charming ladies. I like his facial expressions during blind auditions. Lalo na pag hindi na hihit ng tama yung notes.Oh his face is just amazing.
He cried, of all the coaches, he is the first one who cried. BAMBOO, the Ultimate ROCKSTAR cried because of a contestant. I never thought that he can let loose of himself. I felt that he is so real and have this pure heart. Bamboo seems unreachable and very private during Rivermaya and Bamboo (band) days but now, he let us in in, he let us see his real self which is very rare for a rockstar.
First season is not yet done but I hope that they will have another season. SAME COACHES PLEASE. I can't choose other coaches for this show. They set the standards really high with this "dream team". I hope also that the winner of this contest is deserving to be called THE VOICE OF THE PHILIPPINES. posted from Bloggeroid->
