Hmmm that makes sense but Ryan Seacrest's relationship with the AI Judges is different. Constant gay jokes thrown by either Ryan or Simon against the other would mean nothing as everyone knows they're straight. I've watched every episode of Philippine Idol and Ryan Agoncillo was ever cordial and respectful of the judges so much so that all he did was patronize them. That's why I found him boring. And they also have to contend with the ever hovering La Guardia Civl of MTRCB. It's likely that given GMA's reputation of handling shows, PI could well be sanitized and restrained.
Unless, of course, they get the likes of Rosanna Roces, Rico J. Puno, Giselle Sanchez and Gary Lising to sit there as judges then expect a riotous and vulgar show reminiscent of The Jerry Springer Show with Annabelle Rama storming the studio, picking fights left and right
On the other hand, I like Voj's idea - Ariel and Maverick as hosts! I find them hilarious. Trouble is they could sometimes be abrasive and abusive with their jokes. I remember them getting the ire of one public official in their show after an otherwise innocent joke went awry.
Joey De Leon? It's likely that GMA is already considering him. So it's not gonna be surprising anymore.
yup i agree. i did not enjoy ryan's ability to host that philippine idol. all he did was tell to the public the artistas present in the audience such as gretchen barretto, tony boy, joyce jimenez, etc... who cares if they're in the audience. hehe.
i also noticed that ryan's hosting skills were off a lot of times because sometimes he wanted to side with the contestants and that made him looked stupid because the judges were very right at that time.
he even doesn't know some musical terminologies such as vibratto as mentioned by the judges... ryan was so stupid that time that haji alejandro even tried to lecture him on what vibratto is.. haha.
and another thing was that Ryan is very short. he's not a tall person to be a host. the contestant were even taller than him... and that doesn't look good in camera... hehe... i remember Cat from So You Think You Can DAnce (she's really tall and she's a great host, nice side comments...
)
and speaking of side comments, i really thought ryan's side comments were uncalled for... they're a bit far out... it's painful to hear him say a line that would make him look stupid in front of the camera... hehe...
so i really think Raymond is great for this job. he's a bit composed than ryan. he's way taller than ryan... and with better speaking ability.
