The first mistake was Martin's. Letting Kedebon even be part of his three contestants was very unprofessional of him being a judge on a talent show. I thought he just wanted to have a little fun, but he continued to support Kedebon even if he was continuously being ridiculed by professionals. It is very insulting that the likes of A.K.A Jam, Modesto Taran and especially Mark Mabasa and Joan Da went home before that clown. I simply lost a lot of respect for him.
The second is the people voting for him. Fine, it's your money, it's your vote. I can't lecture you about that. But if he's ever going to have a career, it won't be a singing career, but a career as a comedian. I can at least guarantee you that.Â
But Kedebon is not the only mistake of the show, how can the judges pick Takeoff over Mark Mabasa when he was clearly more talented than the said group? When harmonizing, it sounded like crap, they're off key plenty of times, and it felt like each guy is trying to outshine the others.
Lastly, tonight. They picked Allen over Joan. Not only is Joan more talented, but as an amateur, she seemed to be the one with the most experience in performing. Not to mention she has the most unique voice (that she knows how to use by the way) Where the hell do you hear voices like hers here in this country? It's only a shame that the viewers didn't see that.Â
I told myself that as long as Joan Da is still in the competition, it'll be okay, but no, the judges got rid of her too. And that was the last straw for me. Sure, KZ Tandingan does have the 'X Factor' but not even she's going to make up for this show's flaws.
Joan Da, you will be sorely missed and just remember that your fans are those who can truly recognize talent when they see and hear it. I will be looking forward to your first album and I am also hoping that this won't pull you away from that bright future waiting for you. Yes, God does have other plans for you. The first is saving you from being tied any longer to this pathetic excuse of a show that I and all of my relatives who are fans of yours will no longer watch.
I will end this post with this:
X Factor Philippines is a joke.
