Any reviews on the premier of the local show?

The commercials have more air time than the show itself, and i am not exaggerating. it's been a while since i last watched a local show, and i don't think i'll watch again.

true for all of channel 2's programming, even the news and current affairs....oh well, you can also watch at least one other program while waiting for the commercials to run out.....
That's OK, you can like or dislike anything you choose. That's the wonderful thing about the freedom

The talent was underwhelming. Two good singers - the rocker chick and the last singer, some guy named Thor, who wasn't as good as the judges were making him out to be.

Lea Salonga looks really awkward when giving comments or even just listening/dancing to the performances. She looks like she's stage acting, very over-the-top expressions/reactions. Bamboo looks too much like Chiz Escudero for me to want anyone to be on his team.  8)

The set is really bad. The chairs look like they're ready to fall apart, the red button they press looks like a non-functional prop, they're pressed and the chairs spin in a wobbly manner without any sound whatsoever. Very undramatic, unlike the lights and sounds and swift chair spins when the button is pressed in the US/UK/Australian versions.

The distance to the stage/singer from the mentors is also very short, and instead of a white beam from mentor to singer, it's a green light slowly crawling up to the singer. Looks sad, actually. Nagmukha talagang Third World version of the set.

Oh, and if you want to watch it a bit late but commercial free, you can do so at iwantv.com.ph. :)

And by episode 2, they've fixed the set a bit. The green light is gone, and the chairs now make the trademark sound when turning (which might be editing on their part). I guess unlike the US version where they mix-and-match the performers during the airing of the blind auditions, all auditions shown yesterday were shot on the same day.

Dami talagang commercials.

I'm watching it right now, I like watching the US version before Season 1 to Season 4 yata 'yun. But when Usher joined, 'di ko na ulit napanood. Medyo corny nga si LS at SG, pero sa tingin ko bebenta naman sa masa 'yung antics nila, which I think is their target market.

si Sarah eh given na OA na yun, but Leah? I was really disappointed w/ the way she "acts". trying hard to be "masa" hehehe. natuwa ako kay Apl, hirap mag tagalog yun pala ang galing magkapampangan (dati kasi hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit hirap sya mag tagalog eh dito naman siya lumaki sa pinas, yun pala mas fluent sya sa kapampangan kesa tagalog).

Bakit meron pang "OF THE".   ;D

OT:  Usher is actually the most amusing and innovative coach in the latest season of The Voice, but drunk Blake Shelton seems to have the magical touch as always.

My wife was enticed to watch the local version including my kids since they enjoyed the US show pero sadly disappointing nga daw. Haven't seen the show though so I can't say much at this point. Favorite ng wife ko si Blake and Usher for my kids.
I can stop speaking but I cannot so easily silence my thoughts...

Hindi ko nga magets kung bakit kinuha nila si Lea sa show na to. She has too much respect for herself... ;D Pero ngayon parang kabaliktaran sya na hindi convincing kaya OA! ;D

actually, there's some truth into that naman. back then, the likes of vilma santos and nora aunor were given their breaks because of their talent.

these days, as long as you look good and seem marketable, you are given the breaks na.

pero hindi naman lahat. some really have the talent.

Like the US and UK, meron bang "has been" na contestant?

Some guy named "Guji" came out tonight, doing a duet with his sister. I don't know who he is, but Lea said he's been on stage and Sarah said he's in her latest movie.

Ang galing nung huling contestant ngayon, si "Lee Grane." First international caliber singer I've heard so far. I also liked the Tina Turner woman, pero medyo manipis yung boses.

+1. She's the only one I like out of all of them. I'm glad Bamboo got her. I thought at first Bamboo would be like the equivalent to Adam Levine. But it's looking more like he's a Blake Shelton. Lea's more like Levine, you either hate her or you love her (personally, I love her  ;D  )

Akala nyo si LS at SG lang ang AO huh! Panis sila kay Bamboo, may pa iyak-iyak pa.  ::)

But honestly, I'm glad Bamboo changed a lot regarding his attitude. Noong kapanahunan ng Rivermaya, hindi ma i-interview ng maayos yun, lagi walang matinong sagot. Feeling nya siguro dati corny magpa interview ang isang rockstar, not cool. Buti nag mature na din.  :)

Ang insincere ni Toni.  She looks so uninspired to be in The Voice.
