Your Face Sounds Familiar Grand Showdown
I’ll reserve a lengthy blog post about The Rich Man’s Daughter next week because dude... I’m crossing borders over ABS-CBN and blog about the grand finals of “Your Face Sounds Familiar (Philippine Edition)”.
I’ve become a fan of this show thanks to my aunt’s influence. This show pretty much entertains me during the weekends (because there’s no TRMD during weekends, LOL).
“Your Face Sounds Familiar” is an impersonation contest and the contestants are no ordinary contestants. They are celebrity contestants (who are contract artists of ABS-CBN*, of course).
*ABS-CBN is the rival network of GMA-7
Anywho, this weekend, they are down to 4 contestants namely Jay-R, Edgar Allan Guzman, Melai Cantiveros, and Nyoy Volante. This weekend is special because it’s the grand finals. Whoever wins becomes the FIRST EVER CHAMPION of “Your Face Sounds Familiar”. Of course, they’d be winning prizes as well aside from the title.
Who should win this tilt? Well, I have my pick but for the grand finals, the audience gets to decide. So yeah, we’ll see that one tomorrow.
As for the performances of each contestants, here’s what I think:
Jay-R
For the grand finals, Jay-R did a Frank Sinatra impersonation. I was surprised because not only did he sound like Frank Sinatra, he also looked like him. Haha. The make-up artist/s really did a great job with the make-up and prosthetics. If you ask me, performance-wise, I’d definitely give my vote to Jay-R because his performance was THE BEST among the rest. He was definitely able to prove that not only can he do RNB, he can do other genres as well.
Edgar Allan Guzman
Edgar Allan or EA as they fondly call him, did a Chris Brown impersonation. Well, if you ask me, at a distance he resembles Chris Brown. But whenever I look closely, he looks more like a black version of Elvis Presley. As for his vocals, although he sings very well, he doesn’t sound like Chris Brown at all. But at least he was able to capture Chris Brown’s moves. This is not his best performance, if you ask me, but kudos to him for trying. But hey, at least in this competition, he was able to show everyone that he’s not just an actor. He’s also a total performer. So yeah, great job for him.
Melai Cantiveros
For the grand finals, Melai Cantiveros was Miley Cyrus for a day. Looks-wise, she kind of resembles Miley especially at a distance. Vocally, she doesn’t. Melai is not the best singer in town but it’s great that she tries her hardest. Performance-wise, hahaha, she really gave me and everyone who are present at Resort’s World Manila a great laugh. She was really brave to ride that giant wrecking ball on stage. Her audience impact, to me, is her greatest asset. If you’ve watched the show on TV, it’s evident that Melai is the crowd favorite. Her charisma makes the crowd roar. In my opinion, she would be winning this one. This is definitely her night.
Nyoy Volante
Performance-wise, Nyoy is definitely Jay-R’s fierce competition. Like Jay-R, this dude, is also a singer and performer. So yeah, they have a huge edge over the other contestants. But this night’s definitely a challenge for him because he picked Whitney Houston to impersonate and for me, it’s not his night. First off, vocally, nope. Although he hit the notes with his falsetto, he doesn’t sound like Whitney at all. Looks-wise, he looks like Whitney at a distance but when I look at him closer, he looks more like Oprah to me. Somehow, he was able to capture Whitney’s diva moves. Great job for him trying Whitney though.
If you ask me, the ones that I see who are going to fight for the top spot are either Melai or Jay-R. The crowd favorite vs the total performer.
Who will win? I don’t know. Sometimes things can get a bit unpredictable.
Performance-wise, to me, Jay-R is the best.
Entertainment-wise, it has to be Melai.
Take your pick.
Voting is still open.
