"Pinoy You Got It" concert tour starts July 23, 2010

Pilipinas Got Talent Grand Winner Jovit Baldivino will be launching his debut album via a concert at the Cuneta Astrodome on July 23, 2010.

Produced by Maximusic and Star Records, the concert is dubbed "Pinoy You Got It" and Jovit isn't actually the only one who will be launching an album there but also three other PGT finalists.

Ezra Band, Markki Stroem and Sherwin Baguio, together in one album, will join Jovit in the concert.

Juris will be the very special guest in the concert, which also features PGT finalists Ingrid Payaket and Keith Clark Delleva.

Ticket costs: P150, P250, P575 for Free Seating and P750, P1,000 for Reserve Seats.

What's so good about this concert is that you get a free CD album of your choice for every P575 ticket or free autographed CDs for every P750 and P1,000 ticket.

Pinoy You Got It is actually a nationwide concert tour which will be staged not only in Metro Manila but also in some parts of the country.

12 finalists will compete on the grand finals of Pilipinas Got Talent this June 12 & 13, 2010 at the Araneta Coliseum.

The grand finale performance night is on Saturday, June 12 while the final results night happens Sunday, June 13.

Of the 12 grand finalists, 9 are from Luzon, 1 from the Visayas and 2 from Mindanao. And 50% of them are singers, only 2 are dancers, 1 ventriloquist, 1 magician, 1 electric guitarist and 1 violinist.

Here's a rundown of the grand finalists (sorted according to the vote percentages they got during the semi-finals):

1. Jovit Baldivino, 16-year-old pop/rock singer (80.00%, Week 1)
2. Ezra Band, an acoustic band with girl vocalist and specially-abled pianist (33.08%, Week 4)

Baguio Metamorphosis, Ingrid Payaket complete Grand Finalists of Pilipinas Got Talent

The list of 12 grand finalists Pilipinas Got Talent is now complete with two acts from Baguio City have just joined the list awhile ago durin the 6th and last semi-final round.

I said last night that only one between Baguio Metamorphosis, a group of show dancers, and Ingrid Payaket, a 22-year-old broadway/classical singer, will advance to the finals. But I was wrong, as both of them made it to the grand finals.

Baguio Metamorphosis got the public vote with 28.78%. (It's the 3rd highest percentage ever in all 6 semifinals, the 1st was Jovit Baldivino's 80% and Ezra Band's 33.08%.)

The judges' vote for the last slot to the finals went to Ingrid Payaket, also from Baguio City, who was 3rd in the viewers' votes (17.97%). She was lucky that she was pitted against Imusicapella Chamber Choir who also performed again for the judges (they placed 2nd in public votes, with a high 26.32%). Had it been Carl Malone Montecido, the 11-year-old blind singer, was among the Top 3 tonight, the judges would have chosen Carl.

Notice the difference between Payaket's percentage and that of Imusicapella. That was a big difference, meaning thousands of votes wasted! But the former actually performed better than the latter.

Carl, who's representing Bacolod, only finished 4th with 15.94% preventing the Visayas to have 2 entries in the finals. Hello World from Davao had 8.43% while Cebu's Josephine Aton, a 32-year-old singer, got the least number of votes with only 2.56%.

Have you noticed? All acts from Cebu didn't advance to the finals (Aton, Goldies & Goodies, Jzan Tero). That's unusual. (Unlike in PBB where most Cebuano housemates ended up in the Big Night: Keanna Reeves, Kim Chiu, Nicole Uysiuseng, Paul Jake Castillo and soon Fretzie Bercede.)

With that, Luzon is over-represented in PGT Grand Finals. 9 of the 12 grand finalists are fromLuzon, 2 from Mindanao and only 1 from the Visayas. They will all compete against each other on Saturday, June 12, at the Araneta Coliseum.
