Pilipinas Got Talent co-host Billy Crawford shrugs off comparison with other talent shows

Sa mainit na pagtanggap at tagumpay na tinatamasa ngayon ng Showtime, hindi kataka-taka na isa uling talent program ang hinahanda ng ABS-CBN. Ito ay ang Pilipinas Got Talent, ang Philippine franchise ng Got Talent series na nagsimula sa Great Britain.



Hindi pa man naipalalabas ang Pilipinas Got Talent ay ikinukumpara na agad ito sa Showtime. Ang pangamba nga ng iba ay baka kahit nasa iisang istasyon ang dalawang talent shows ay magkaroon ng kumpetisyon at sapawan sa pagitan ng mga ito.



Pero ayon sa isa mga host ng programa na si Billy Crawford, iba raw ang Pilipinas Got Talent sa Showtime (hosted by Anne Curtis, Vhong Navarro, and Kim Atienza).



"Iba ang Showtime," simula ni Billy sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal). "Showtime is group, 10 to 25 members. Sa amin kasi, puwede kang maging soloist, duo, trio, puwede kang pamilya, whatever, basta may talent ka. Yun ang kailangang ipakita mo sa buong mundo. May tatlo rin kaming judges—sina Kris Aquino, Ms. Ai-Ai [delas Alas], and Mr. Freddie Garcia. And those judges, all throughout sila the whole show."



Dagdag niya, "This is also a franchise from British Got Talent of England. So kung anuman ang ginagawa sa Showtime, opposite ng gagawin ng Pilipinas Got Talent. Sa amin, kung kaya mong kumain ng bubog, ng apoy, or kahit na ano, puwede."



Ikinukumpara rin ang Pilipinas Got Talent sa Talentadong Pinoy ng TV5. May mga nagsasabi na iba pa rin daw ang original at mukhang ginaya lang daw ng Pilipinas Got Talent ang konspetong sinimulan ng Talentadong Pinoy, na hinu-host ni Ryan Agoncillo.



Ano ang masasabi ni Billy rito?



"Wala pa naman akong naririnig na ganun," sabi ng international Filipino singer. "But when that time comes naman, I don't think na magsasalita sila ng ganun. Nasa industriya naman tayo for a long time, no one will start naman ng mga away-away. Same concept kasi, but just like I've said, this is a franchise from British Got Talent.



"Lahat naman ng talent shows iko-compare naman 'yan, kahit ano ang gawin mo basta nagpapakita ng talent. Ito, worldwide ito. Maipapakita ito sa TFC [The Filipino Channel] and two million pesos ang mauuwi ng contestant na mananalo dito."



LUIS MANZANO. Kasama ni Billy sa Pilipinas Got Talent ang kaibigan at kasamahan niya sa Kanto Boyz na si Luis Manzano. Panay papuri ang ibinigay ni Billy kay Luis.



"Si Luis is one of the most talented hosts here," sabi niya. "Luis is a great host and he's a good friend of mine. Wala akong masamang masasabi sa kanya and I'm really happy na mag-i-start na kami. After namin sa Cebu, Bacolod and Baguio kami for Pilipinas Got Talent."



Mainit ding tinatanggap ng publiko ang grupo nina Billy at Luis, kasama sina John Lloyd Cruz at Vhong Navarro na Kanto Boyz. Tuloy ba ang pelikula o sitcom na nabalitang gagawin nila before?



"I think pinag-uusapan yung movie namin," sabi ni Billy. "Sina Tita Cory [Vidanes, ABS-CBN head] yata ang may pinag-uusapan for a movie this year. Pero depende pa rin kasi lahat kami may sked. Kami ni Luis, we have Got Talent. Si Lloydie may movie with Bea [Alonzo[ and a teleserye. Si Vhong may Kokey, so malabo pa talagang magkasama-sama, lalo na yung sitcom. Yung Cebu namin, gustong dalhin sa States, pero hindi naman kakayanin ng sked namin."

Willie Revillame saddened by no-show of his children at his birthday celebration

Pahinga for one week ang regalo ng controversial host na si Willie Revillame para sa sarili pagkatapos ng birthday celebration niya sa kanyang programa na Wowowee noong Sabado, January 23 (January 27 ang tunay niyang birthday).



Kahapon, January 25, nagsimula na ang bakasyon ni Willie mula sa kanyang programa. At ayon sa ilang source, pupunta raw sa Boracay ang paalam ni Willie para sa kanyang five-day vacation.



"Gusto ko lang magpapahinga, kasi yung boses ko... Pagod na ako, e," simula ni Willie nang makausap ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) bago ito nagbakasyon.



Sa selebrasyon ni Willie, pawang malalapit na kaibigan niya ang bumati sa kanya through VTR. At karamihan sa kanila, pawang dinadasal na maging malusog ang katawan ni Willie.



"E, di ba yung sa puso ko, barado nga?" sabay himas ni Willie sa kanyang dibdib.



NO LOVELIFE. Nilinaw naman ni Willie ang lumabas na balita na meron siyang bagong girlfriend ngayon na non-showbiz.



"Wala," kibit-balikat ni Willie. "Ni walang bumati sa akin. Sasabihin ko sa inyo ang tototo. Kung meron, meron. Pero wala talaga, e. Hindi totoo yung nababalita na may nag-i-email na may girlfriend ako. Gawa-gawa lang nila 'yan. Hindi totoo 'yan. Wala akong girlfriend."



Feeling ni Willie, hindi na bagay sa kanya ang magsalita pa about his lovelife sa edad niya ngayon.



"Yung ginagawa ko na lang na tulong ang isulat natin... Huwag na yung lovelife ko. Ang tanda ko na, 49 na ako. Wala na akong lovelife. Wala akong girlfriend. E, kung meron, di sana sinurprise na nila ako."



MISSING HIS KIDS. Kung meron man daw siyang nami-miss ay yun ang pagbati ng kanyang mga anak.



"Oo, siyempre. E, dapat sila ang kasama ko," himutok ni Willie.



"Hindi ba niya ni-request sa staff niya na kunan ng mensahe ang kanyang mga anak



"Pangit, ayoko," malungkot na sabi ni Willie.



Even his eldest daughter na si Meryll Soriano ay hindi rin nagparamdam sa birthday celebration ni Willie sa Wowowee.



"Wala rin."



May tampuhan ba sila ng kanyang panganay?



"Wala rin. Hindi ko nga alam. Pero ang birthday ko sa 27 pa, e. Baka doon nila ako batiin."



Naging emosyonal naman si Willie habang umaawit kasama ang child sensation na si Zaijin Jaranilla o mas kilala bilang si Santino sa malaganap na teleseryeng May Bukas Pa.



"Parang ang tingin ko kay Santino, anak ko siya, e. Ang ganda ng mata nung bata."



Noong mga sandaling 'yon, na-wish niya bang sana ay kasama niya sa stage ang bunsong anak niya sa kanyang ex-wife na si Liz Almoro.



"Huwag na nating banggitin, nasa korte yun, e. Basta matagal ko na siyang hindi nakikita. At basta mga anak ko, huwag na nating pag-usapan kasi hindi ko na alam, e...kung ano ang gusto nila."



MERYLL AND JOEM. Balitang-balita na boyfriend ngayon ni Meryll ang aktor na si Joem Bascon.



"E, di mabuti naman kung may lovelife siya. Basta kung saan siya masaya, di ba? Hindi naman ako ang makikisama. Sila naman ang magsasama, di ba? Mahirap, ano 'yan, mahirap pakialaman ang kaligayahan ng isang tao."



Sa tuwa ni Willie kay Zaijian, na-wish niya na makatrabaho sana ang child sensation kahit sa Maalaala Mo Kaya.



"Oo naman. Pero hindi...pelikula, maganda," bawi ni Willie. "Depende, pero gusto ko 'yung drama. Kasama rin namin si Dolphy. Kaya lang sa Star Cinema 'ata siya nakakontrata. Pero parang gusto kong gawin namin kakaiba. Iba kasi ang batang yun, e. Iba ang dating."



MOST TRUSTED PERSONALITY. Kasabay ng selebrasyon ni Willie sa Wowowee last Saturday ay ang pagbigay sa kanya ng Triple Platinum record award para sa kanyang Ikaw Na Nga album. A week before ng birthday celebration niya, lumabas naman sa isang broadsheet na number three siya sa survey na ginawa para sa "Most Trusted Personality" ng bansa.



"Ha?!! Ha-ha-ha! Surprise!" sabay tawa ulit ni Willie. "Siyempre natuwa ako. Magkaroon ka ng positive 20 percent na pinagkakatiwalan ka, malaking bagay na yun. Di ba, sa YES Magazine, 'Most Powerful Celebrity' ako? 'Tapos itong album mo, number one. Yun na yun, e. Eto na, di ba? Sobra na kasi [ang Ikaw Na Nga). Ang lakas talaga."



Dahil sa sunud-sunod na recognition na natanggap ni Willie at sa iba pa niyang achievements—successful show, maraming properties at isang napakalaking negosyo na tinatayo—walang duda na nasa rurok na siya ng tagumpay. Pero may kasabihan na, "When you're up, there's no other way but down." Anong masasabi niya rito?



"Wala ka pa doon, e. Ibig kong sabihin, ito ba [sabay turo niya sa kanyang hitsura] nasa top? Tingnan ninyo nga, mumurahin lang ang mga damit ko. Pero ano, kayo ang makakapagsabi niyan. Ako ba, nakita ninyo ginamit ko yung power, ginamit ko yung lahat?



"Kasi nga hindi ganun ang pagkatao ko. Kung prangka man ako, totoo ako, hindi ibig sabihin na mayabang. Totoo ka, e. Dapat totoo ka sa harap at likod ng kamera. Kasi kapag nasa harap ka lang, niloloko mo ang sarili mo, niloloko mo ang tao.



"Anong gagawin ko sa buhay ko para makipagbiruan? Makipaglokohan?



"Ang pagbibigay mo ng tulong sa tao, sinsero 'yan," pagtatapos ni Willie.

Charice sings on Italian show Io Canto

Filipina singer Charice has recently been invited to sing on an Italian show. Last Saturday, January 23, she performed on the televised singing contest called Io Canto (which translates to I Sing). The said show usually invites international singers to perform with the contestants. In the previous episode, they invited 11-year-old singer Bianca Ryan, the winner of America's Got Talent.

In the said episode, Charice performed the Italian song "Adagio" with young singer Christian Imparato. After performing the duet with Christian, the camera panned to show her mother, Raquel Pempengco, standing up along with everyone one else while clapping enthusiastically for the young singers. The audience members chanted the name of Charice while Christian thanked the Filipina singer in his native tongue.

The Io Canto contestants, whose ages range from 7 to 15 years old, then joined Charice in singing Beyonce's "Listen."

Charice also performed Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" and "I Have Nothing" as well as her first international single "Note To God" for Italian viewers.

According to Charice's manager, Grace Mendoza, this is Charice's second time to appear on Io Canto since she already performed there last year. Charice and her mother left for Italy last Friday, January 22, and they are expected to return to the Philippines this week.

Aside from appearing in Io Canto, Charice was invited to be a guest on Andrea Bocelli's birthday concert in July 2008 and appearing on the Italian musical variety show Ti Lascio Una Canzone (I'm Leaving a Song for You) in April 2009.

Last December 27, Charice already used her swarovski-studded microphone during the grand finals of Singapore Idol. Just like in the January 23 episode of Io Canto, Charice used the special mic, which was a gift from Sennheiser.

Jericho Rosales promises not to court any of his leading ladies

A few weeks ago ay nagkaroon ng fans' day sina Jericho Rosales at Kristine Hermosa, pero hindi nakasipot ang aktres kaya lumikha ito ng kontrobersiya. Ayon sa lumabas na balita, hindi raw sinipot ni Kristine ang fans' day nila ni Jericho dahil nagkaroon daw sila ng pagtatalo at samaan ng loob ng aktor.



Nang makausap ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) si Echo, palayaw ng aktor, ay pinalinaw namin sa kanya kung totoo nga bang nagkaroon sila ng pagtatalo o samaan ng loob ng kapareha niya sa defunct soap na Dahil May Isang Ikaw.



"Wala kaming away ni Kristine, wala kaming tampuhan," diin ni Echo. "I just don't know the reason why hindi siya nakarating. We weren't able to say goodbye properly but I texted her, I said, 'It was really nice working with you again.' Yun lang. Natapos kasi siya ng mas maaga sa amin."



According to Echo, he's still open to working with Kristine again, given the right project at the right time.



DAHIL MAY ISANG IKAW. Samantala, sinabi ni Echo na masaya siya dahil naging bahagi siya ng isang primetime soap katulad ng Dahil May Isang Ikaw.



"Happy ako about Dahil May Isang Ikaw, especially yung pinaka-last episodes namin. Not just because of ratings but yung story namin and response na nandun sa story namin, sobrang positive. We were able to help people. May nag-text sa akin na isang kaibigan ko, na-inspire daw siya na makakilos at makagalaw uli kasi ganun din siya, may sakit din siya. May mga ibang nag-e mail din sa amin, mga lawyers, giving their positive feedback. So, talagang nakatulong ang soap namin, naka-inspire kami ng mga tao and that's the best thing for me. Siyempre big, big bonus na yung ang dami-daming nanood ng last episodes ng Dahil May Isang Ikaw," saad niya.



Ayon naman sa ilang avid viewers ng Dahil May Isang Ikaw, Jericho should get an award dahil sa husay na ipinakita nito sa pagbibigay-buhay sa karakter niya bilang Miguel, isang public attorney.



Ano ang reaksiyon dito ni Echo?



"Thank you, pero bonus na lang yun," sambit niya. "Real award is yung mainit na suporta sa amin ng tao."



MOVIE WITH KC. Ibinalita ni Echo sa PEP na bagamat wala pa siyang kasunod na teleseryeng gagawin sa ABS-CBN ay gagawa naman siya ng pelikula sa Star Cinema at katambal niya rito si KC Concepcion.



"Malapit na, fun-fun lang," sabi ng aktor. "Nag-workshop na kami ni KC para maging comfortable kami. Excited ako more than kinakabahan. Masaya yung concept ng movie, light lang siya. Sa movie kasi, matagal na yung gumawa ako ng light ang tema. Movie pa namin ni Kristine yung mga light-light na ginawa ko. Ngayon na lang uli, so I'm excited.



"Ako naman, napanood ko na si KC, yung movie nila ni Richard [Gutierrez] and ang galing niya, ang cute! Cute naman talaga siya as an actress. To be honest, yun pa lang ang napanood ko sa kanya. Pero marami siyang ibang ginagawa bukod sa pagiging artista niya na hinahangaan ko, tulad ng pagtulong niya sa kapwa."



Hindi pa man nasisimulan ang shooting ng kanilang pelikula, marami na ang humuhula na habang ginagawa ang movie ay posibleng mahulog ang loob at ligawan ni Jericho si KC, lalo't aminado ang aktor na matagal na niyang crush ang singer-actress.



"Crush-crush lang naman yun," nakangiting sabi ni Echo. "Ako kasi, I promised to myself na hindi ako manliligaw ng leading lady ko... Sabagay, depende naman yun. Pero ako kasi, gusto kong isipin na kaya kong makipagtrabaho sa mga babae na hindi na kinakailangang ma-in love ka. Kahit sabihin mong light-light movie lang 'yan, it's still work, trabaho pa rin yun. Best thing is to be able to work na hindi mo pinepersonal ang trabaho mo. Yun ang challenge dun.



"I don't want to play around with emotions, with feelings of people. I realized, instead of investing personal feelings, invest on your craft, on your work, on friendship. For me to be a friend, for us to be friends, siyempre respeto sa co-actor mo. Hindi tayo pinagtatagpo dito para magligawan, pinagtatagpo tayo para mag-work.



"Kung mayroon man akong gustong personalin, yun ay yung opportunity na puwede akong maging kaibigan sa mga co-actors ko, but not personal intentions. And I'm sure me and KC wil have fun doing this movie," sabi ni Echo.



Makakasama rin nina Echo at KC sa pelikula nila ang ama ng huli na si Gabby Concepcion.
