The Hype That Was Gone

Jeric Peña wrote an interesting piece entitled, “The Hype That Was Gone” on My Boring Life… Now A Blog | Pinoy Idol. Here is an excerpt.

Few years ago, I was surprised to see the advertisement being shown on ABC 5 with the tagline, “Hindi lang Star… Hindi lang Superstar,” “Hinahanap na ang bagong Idol ng Bayan” and many others.

I could still remember creating a website dedicated to Philippine Idol.

Pinoy Dream Academy Season II

I’m really a fan of Pinoy Dream Academy to the point that I bought jackets, notebooks and even pin buttons. I’m a Rosita Bareng fan actually. Oh, please don’t laugh at me like that. She many not be the best singer in town but she never fail to catch the “masa” audience of the show. I like the Pinoy Dream Academy’s format wherein scholars are asked to live inside an “academy” where will they undergo rigid training.
