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.

Are you for PGT 4 wildcard or are you satisfied with the first set of grand finalists? Drop your comments below.

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.
