PGT Season 4 Semifinals Week 2 | Who Will Complete the List of Grand Finalists?

Last week, three acts advanced to the grand finals of Pilipinas Got Talent Season 4—Acoustic trio MP3 Band, black light performers Zilent Overload and YouTube sensation Roel Manlangit. This marked the very first time in PGT history that the judges chose two semifinal acts to enter the finals.

MP3 Band garnered the highest percentage of combined online and text votes with 25.69%, which automatically secured their grand finalist slot. Zilent Overload of Pasig City, on the other hand, was unanimously chosen by the Big Three judges while Roel Manlangit of Bukidnon managed to get the votes of judges Kris Aquino and Freddie “FMG” Garcia. Ai Ai Delas Alas, meanwhile, voted for flairtending teen Chaeremon Basa 

This week, the remaining three grand finalist slots will be filled. Who among break dancers D’ Intensity Breakers, metal ring dancer Frankendal Fabroa, folk dancers Bughaw Folkloric Dance Group, power vocalists The Miss Tres, 24-year-old siren Eumee Lyn Capile, and car drifters Lateral Drift Productions will make the cut? 

Will there be a surprise announcement of a wildcard round after netizens got disappointed following the results of the first semifinal round?

Pilipinas Got Talent (PGT) Season 4 Wildcard Possible

The fourth season of Pilipinas Got Talent has just revealed its first batch of grand finalists on Sunday, May 19 during the live semifinals results night. The outcome of the show, however, was met with criticisms from netizens.

Many netizens were disappointed with the inclusion of MP3 Band in the set of PGT 4 grand finalists. The three-member band from Davao got the highest percentage of text and online votes (25.69%) which automatically earned them a slot in the grand finals.

The band trended on Twitter right after the announcement Sunday night and as of this writing, MP3 Band still   appeared as one of the top ten trending topics in the said micro-blogging site. The band is trending though because of many negative tweets saying that they don't deserve the finals slot.

Netizens sided with Chaeremon Basa, a young flair tender from Bacolod who wowed many, including the judges, during his semifinals performance. The judges and the audience from PAGCOR Grand Theater even gave him a standing ovation right after.

Many believed that Chaeremon very much deserved to be in the grand finals and even blamed the voting public and the judges for picking Youtube sensation Roel Manlangit over the guy. But much of their ire was on MP3 Band which according to them is undeserving and if only votes will not be the basis, it could have been Chaeremon, Zilent Overload and Roel taking the first three finals slots.

Rumors also surfaced that the judges decided that two of them will vote for Chaeremon and one will go with Roel but apparently, judge FMG chose the singer over the flair tender based on their performance come results night. That decision shocked the whole PAGCOR, even judge Kris. Talks also said that even the hosts and the staff of the show were rattled with what transpired Sunday night.

With these reactions, there's a huge possibility that we will be seeing another wildcard round just like what happened in season 2 wherein heavy favorite Rico, The Magician was eliminated during the first semifinals round but the show introduced a wildcard round, a first in PGT history, perhaps to accommodate the bigger audience's choice.

If the wildcard round will be implemented this season, the audience will be solely determining which act or two acts will be going to the finals. The people love wildcard contestants and it's a known truth that many wildcard contestants like Erik Santos, XB Gensan and Agravante Family of It's Showtime had remarkable comebacks and won the whole thing.
