Here is what is wrong with your face sounds familiar Philippines









Your face sounds familiar is based on Spanish singing and impersonation competition. If you have seen your face sounds familiar Philippines you would agree that it’s a great show. Here is the problem. The deserving contestant doesn’t end up winning. Why? I’ll discuss that in a bit.
Shows like the Voice and American Idol have the same problem. The deserving ones doesn’t end up winning. For the Voice the winner is based on the number of text votes from the public. And for the past two seasons I thought that the runner up deserve to win. For the voice kids I thought Darren Espanto would win instead of Lyca and Alisah Bonaobra deserved to be the winner instead Jason Dy from the Voice Philippines season 2.
So what is the use of joining if the winner won’t be based on pure talent? So here is the problem with your face  sounds familiar. Although the winner is not based on text votes, the winner is determine based on the votes of the  3 Judges and the votes of their peers.
I think the three judges are mostly fair with their votes. It’s just that during week 7 where Maxene impersonated her father, the late Francis M, they seem to have voted based on their emotional attachment to Francis M. She ended up winning but is she the best impersonator for that week? I really think that there were better performances compared to Maxene’s.
But here is the main problem. Aside from the Judges vote, the impersonators could give 3 points as long as they don’t give it to themselves. And there seems to be a group that is bias with their voting. Karla Estarda, Jay R, Maxene and sometimes Melai are most of time giving the votes to each other.
A good example is Week 8 where Karla Estrada won when she impersonated Ann Wilson of Heart. I thought that Edgar Allan Guzman (impersonated Andrew E) or Nyoy Volante (impersonated Freddy Mercury of Queen) would win it. Before the impersonator’s vote were mentioned, Edgar Allan and Nyoy were leading. But Karla Estrada ended up winning. Is it because her sons was there during the show? Or should we expect automatic votes from here group?
If this goes on I highly doubt that the most talented impersonator would win. So in your opinion who is the most talented impersonator? I'll go with Nyoy or Edgar Allan. What are your thoughts?

  1. In this season YFSF judges also use emotional attachment in voting as in the case of Kean impersonating FPJ. With regards to the votes of impersonators I have a notion that there's a group that is bias with their voting. Im just hoping this season will just be fair to choose who really deserves to win base on his or her talent.
