Gangstarz 2 kicked off last night on TV3 which introduced 12 groups from Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and The Philippines. I managed to watch 10 groups perform (as I had to watch 'Epic Movie'... a pretty silly movie actually) and only one group that is from The Philippines got my attention, the rest were just mediocre in my opinion. But since it's the 1st concert so it's understandable that some contestants were overcome by nerves, hence the so-so performances.
The Filipino guys calling themselves '
Paragon Child' are formerly club singers, they are Rainner Melgarejo (24), Jerwin B Nicomedez (18) and Julius C Lacandula (20). They sang '
Go The Distance', which was a great song choice. They gave me goosebumps! It's still early in the competition but I do hope they'll continue to 'wow' us.
The other groups :~
- South Trio, Akasia and One Nation Emcees represent Malaysia
- D'Reborn, D'Raz and 3 Voices ~ Indonesia
- Brown Tone and Faith ~ Singapore
- PZG and Step ~ Thailand
- 3.5 ~ The Phillipines
The worst performance last night was from
PZG, an all male group that sang an English song but I couldn't understand a single word they said. Probably because they couldn't really speak English. They were really cute boys, which I'm sure the local teen girls here would vote :) It was a disaster, it would have been better if they sang in Thai... I'm sure there are tons of good Thai songs. Anyway, I hope they do better in the next concert.
And being a Red Devils fan, allow me to gloat since Manchester United won the Premier League last night. I love you Cristiano Ronaldo!!! Yoohoo!!! *Dances wildly* ^o^
I'm happy to say that I'd rather have MU win the league than Chelsea so congrats MU :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, that Paragon Child fellows did a pretty decent job. As for the rest, urmmm, we'll see ... LOL!

ReplyDeleteAlaaa... Sya ter miss pulak tu Gangstarz! Awal sya tidur coz makan ubat trus mengantuk. I remember the Filipino Group tu, yang time audition kena suruh cari lagi satu member coz yang the 1st one tia pandai nyanyi. If I'm not mistaken lah. :D
ReplyDeleteAaargh we don't have tv!!! *sigh*
ReplyDeleteAnd I love Cristiano Ronaldo too! But only for his abs, cause I'm not a footie fan .:P
Hye Nessa,

Take care!
Bye!

ReplyDeleteyay to giggs last minute winning goal. who says an older guy cannot play. he's 34 and he has been playing since 16. a great win for a legend!
Gangstarz pun ko boleh layan? Best ka? If this season best, maybe I should layan also.. Oh, I met reality show stars last Saturday!! I was starstruck!! :P
ReplyDeleteNick ~ Yeah, if it was between Chelsea and Arsenal... I'd choose the 'Gooners' anytime! LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the other groups will improve, 1st concert is always nerve wrecking ya. I've stage fright so my hats off to them :)
Hi Caren! I'm definitely interested. If only I get advertisers 'knocking on my door' instead of me waiting for assignments! Thanks for the offer :D
ReplyDeleteQueen Bee ~ You shouldn't miss it. The other Filipino group, an all female group called 3.5 is also pretty good. Didn't reali like their song choice but I'm sure they'll step up next week. I love Filipino actor Jericho Rosales, melts my heart!! :D
ReplyDeleteHi Crystal! Glad to see you here :) Macam mana kerja? Misti BZ kan. Thanks for taking the time to visit :) Yup, I think that's them. The other group yang originally ada tomboy tu pun kesian, inda kena accept. I think the judges (Azmeer especially) was very harsh in his critique. Too much emphasis on physical attributes (ugly, fat, short, etc.)
ReplyDeleteHaizum ~ Sia tumpang kesiannnn...
ReplyDeleteHis abs only? :) I love everything about him, well, I used to hate him those days when he was not with MU. Tak kenal maka tak cinta! LOL
Hi Princess Sabrina! Welcome to my humble blog :)
ReplyDeleteI was exactly like you when I first started. If you're a member already, then you should be qualified to take the opportunities. Make sure both 'open' and 'qual' are green in color.
If the status is 'wait for opps' that means you'll be put in queue if take the opps. Yeah, pretty confusing but you'll get the hang of it eventually. Don't worry :)
Thanks again for dropping by, hope to see around more often!
Lxndreasb ~ Yeah, Ryan Giggs is a great player. A true MU legend :)
ReplyDeleteSyura ~ Sia ni kan a reality show addict! Haha Masa audition tu nampak macam best la, 1st konset OK la sikit. Tapi teda fight with AI.
ReplyDeleteYou did? Sepa reality show stars tu ah? *Curious* Mesti ensem kan coz you were starstruck! :D
Ohh ya. Kasian yang tomboy tu kan. Padahal okay pun diorang nyanyi. Unique bah tu ada .5. :) Tulah, kasar betul tu si Azmeer punya komen. Macam mo cari gaduh.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to MU and u too Nessa lol! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd can u please remind me to watch GS this weekend?!! I always lupa! But love Faizal la! ;)
Crystal ~ Haha.. ya bah, 0.5 itulah yang kelainan dia :) Si Azmeer tu inda sensitip bah... dia sendiri pun bukan perfect juga. Manusia...
ReplyDeleteMarzie ~ Hope they'll win the champs league... that would be great ya :)
ReplyDeleteI love Faizal too! Did you get my reminder? Of all the groups, I like Paragon Child and One nation Emcees. PZG deserved to be booted out... they were atrocious!!
im so happy to see philipines takes part in gangstarz (msian tv reality show)- both groups (Paragon child & 3.5) are superb.
ReplyDelete2nd week - paragon child sang 'sayang sayang' wow...i was amazed ...floorly swept me off my feet... they are not just talented, but they are creative & sensitive to msian's current entertainment music charts....galing galing naman!!!
I want more from this group...!!
I predict they will be in top 3!!!
Wish them all the best!!!! ANG KYUTE2 SA'IYO!!!!
Hi Anon! Yeah, Gangstarz is pretty unique because of the other countries participation.
ReplyDeleteI was going to write a review of Gangstarz 2nd concert but it's difficult for to find the pictures, I can even find their performance on Youtube!
Yes, Paragon Child is definitely 'intelligent' to sing a Malay song. They delivered the song, I was amazed... my jaw almost dropped to the floor! LOL I loved it when they even translated the song in Tagalog, very nice.
I'm sure they'll be in the finals. I hope they get the local votes. Good luck to them. And thanks for leaving your comments :)
