Week 4 - Results Night: An Easy-pick

Funny thing, when I categorized TakeOff in the "Definitely Safe" group after their stellar performance of "Dreaming of You", it turned out to be another unlucky night as they landed in the bottom two tier.

Mang Modesto really has the vocal chops but his weakness on faster tempo song did not make him last. But is he the weakest singer in the show? Definitely no. But his weak performance last night really hurt him.

So how did the survival songs fair? Here's my take **anyone who will upload videos in youtube will be much appreciated :)** 

Modesto Taran - You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine by Lou Rawls - I am not familiar with the song but Mang Modesto did it good but it was 'meh'. I mean for your last chance performance, you should put your all into it and should pick a song that would showcase what you have in the bag. Perhaps, he already accepted his defeat after learning that he is in the bottom two. Rating: B

TakeOff - Flying Without Wings by Westlife - I grew up listening to Westlife and I can say that TakeOff's performance was not as great as the original but their harmony was good. There were a couple of missed notes but nevertheless, this performance was way better than the previous one. Rating: A-

These two are growing on me as they progress during the contest. Honestly, I did not like them at first because I believe that there are people who deserve it more. But they had proven me wrong. :)

It was a unanimous decision to eliminate Mang Modesto. If I were to choose who to eliminate, I would also pick Mang Modesto. On his last chance performance, he did not give me the chills that I would go crazy about.

Many say that it was an easy-pick for the judges. I totally agree with that. I was already expecting Mang Modesto to go home. What surprised me is that Ms. Pilita did not "support" her act and chose to eliminate Modesto instead. Like, whoa! Is she being too objective? I don't get it. If she thinks that Modesto would not withstand the competition, she should not have chosen him to go further to the Top 12.

I am guessing that perhaps, there is already an "internal arrangement" between Ms. Pilita and Mang Modesto that in case he would land in the bottom two spot, he would rather go home. Maybe, he treated it as a sign since he totally missed his family during the run of the contest. You see, the happiness on Mang Modesto's face was so genuine. He surely loves his family. Hats off to you Mang Modesto!

Was I satisfied with the result? 50-50. I really believe that Kedebon should be the one sent packing because Mang Modesto can blow the competition further than Kedebon. More, he surely is the statement of "Age doesn't matter". Sounds cliche but his singing would agree with me 100%.

Also, TakeOff is DEFINITELY improving and they are picking up their pace, so what the heck happened there? Complacency at its best? Not again.
