PGT 4 Semifinals Results Night (May 19): MP3 Band, Zilent Overload and Roel Manlangit Enter Grand Finals

The first batch of grand finalists of Pilipinas Got Talent Season 4 was revealed Sunday, May 19 on the show's live semifinals results night held at the PAGCOR Grand Theater in Paranaque.

Before the big reveal, Pilipinas Got Talent presented a birthday surprise for Billy Crawford. The show prepared a "Sine Mo 'To" segment just for the birthday boy participated by his girlfriend Nikki Gil, Bugoy Carino, Sam Concepcion, Kris Lawrence, and Eric ' Eruption' Tai.

The first slot on PGT 4 grand  finals was taken by MP3 Band. The acoustic trio got the highest number of votes (25.69%) from among the first batch of semifinalists even though they did not get good reviews from the judges on last night's performance show. This just means that the band had a huge fan base at this early.

Flair tender Chaeremon Basa, black light dancers Zilent Overload and singer Roel Manlangit all performed for the judges' votes. After their performances, the big three judges were unanimous in making Zilent Overload part of the grand finals, hence the black light performers took the second finals slot.

However, the judges were split between Chaeremon and Roel. Kris and FMG voted for Roel Manlangit while it was only Ai Ai who chose Chaeremon Basa. Based on majority votes, the young YouTube sensation beat the flair tender for tonight's last grand finals slot.

Many were disappointed with the inclusion of MP3 Band to the list of grand finalists, the reason they trended on Twitter. Netizens opined that Chaeremon should be the one joining the finals together with Zilent Overload and Roel Manlangit. Others were also shocked with FMG's decision on going with Roel instead of Chaeremon who received a standing ovation from all three judges and made the PAGCOR audience wild with his performance the other night.

Meanwhile, aside from Chaeremon, other acts which failed to advance to the grand finals were mask man and quick change artists Tito Cris Castro and dancing twins Symmetry. Next week, the last batch of semifinalists will perform to capture the last three grand finals slots.
