Is your face sounds familiar Philippines a fair competition?




 For the last 12 weeks I have been watching this show. And I am impressed with the performances. Well most of them at least. So why do I ask if your face sounds familiar is a fair competition? First of all. The producers seems to be biased with some of the artist. Tutti is always impersonating rock stars. Maxene is mostly impersonating rappers and Karla is always impersonating Divas. Most impersonators are given task that they are very well familiar with. While some them were given the hardest task of impersonating that others. I am talking about Nyoy, Edgar Allan and Melai who has been switching from male to female artist more frequently than other.

 Second the contestants are not voting for the best performance but there are voting based on completely different criteria. A good example is for Maxene’ performance as her late father Francis M. I thought Melai’s Rihanna performance, Edgar Allan’s Ed Sheeran and Nyoy’s Sylvia la torre impersonation was better. Last week EA’s MC hammer, Nyoy’s Rod Stewart and Jayr’s Alanis Morrisette was better than Tutti’s Ely Buendia performance. I even thought that he was more Raymund Marasigan than Ely. I think they voted for him since he is the only one left without a win.

 But to be fair, they made up for it with the revelation of the top 4 finalist. I think Nyoy, Jay-r, Melai and Edgar Allan all deserve to be part of the top 4. Then again the Grand winner will be based on the highest text votes where the most popular but not always the most deserving ends up winning.

 What are your thoughts?

Your face sounds familiar Finale airs tonight



 Last Sunday, the top 4 for your face sounds familiar Philippines has been announced. Nyoy Volante got the highest score with 257 points.  Jay-r got the second place with 246 points. Melai and Edgar Allan are both tied for the third and fourth spot.

 I am glad that the two of my picks are part of the Final four which is Nyoy and Edgar Allan. Next week on the finale, the winner will be decided with the highest number of text votes which in my opinion wouldn’t be fair for the contestant. Why? History has shown with shows like American Idol or the Voice that the deserving contestant doesn’t usually end up bagging the title.

 I hope they would change the criteria to 50% judge’s vote and 50% text voting. This way at least those without a huge fan base wouldn’t end up winning. Remember Voice Philippines last two winners? Since Sarah Geronimo has a huge fan base, her team ended up with the win.

 Well will see. I kind of reminds of the pageants way back in high school those who manage to sell more tickets ended up winning even though they are not clearly to most talented and most deserving.

 My vote is for Nyoy. Since the start of the show, Nyoy has been consistent with his performance and I am glad that he ended getting votes from his co-contestant last week. My second choice would be for Edgar Allan.

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?

What is wrong with Nyoy Volante in Your face sounds Familiar Philippines?


I have been asking this question for weeks. In my opinion Nyoy Volante is one the best contestant in Your face sounds familiar Philippines. And yet he has only won once in the whole competition. It is his performance as Justin Bieber that gave him the win.

Every week he doesn't get votes from his fellow contestants. Two Sundays ago Nyoy got 8 points from the the two Judges Sharon Cuneta and Jed Madela and got 7 points from Gary Valenciano. Another contestant who got high marks with judges was Edgar Allan would transformed as the Philippine Rap Icon Andrew E. I thought that either of the two would win. But when the voting came, Karla Estrada ended up winning it. Why because she got most of her votes from her friends JR, Jolina, and Maxene.

So the question is, is there something wrong with Nyoy Volante? Why isn't getting the votes from his fellow contestants? He surely deserves it. Or it is because there is already a group created among the contestant that they tend to give their votes within it's member?

If that is the case, the undeserving would win most of the time. On top of everything, they seem to take the time to ensure that Nyoy would have a hard time with his performance. Next week he will perform as Katy Perry. Well I could only think of a another contestant who might pull it off and that is Edgar Allan would is also bringing his A game every single week and doesn't seem to win as much.

Just my thoughts. What are yours?
