Almost everybody knows that GMA 7 now owns the right to air the new Idol show in the Philippines, which will be called “Pinoy Idol”. And today, the network has just started calling the attention of Idol aspirants around the nation.
As shown on TV, audition dates and venues are now being announced and will take place in major areas in the provinces such as Cebu, Iloilo, Cagayan de Oro and more. You may check out the TV plug for more/specific details. But take note, from what I have heard they are searching for the first Pinoy Idol so I believe the claims that this show will be treated as a new and independent of the first season is true. So this means, Mau Marcelo might not be considered the first winner.
Pinoy Idol, as what it will be called (no longer Philippine Idol), is rumored to be aired on the first quarter or around February of 2008.




As to who will judge and host the show is still a big question left to the viewers. Of course, there are rumors that Ryan Agoncillo and Ryan Cayabyab from the first season will still be part of this show while others say that it can be Mo Twister, Drew Arellano, Paolo Bediones or still Regine Velasques who used to host previous singing competitions of the network.
Aside from Pinoy Idol, GMA 7 holds the airing rights of Fremantle’s shows such as Celebrity Duets, Whammy, and Family Feud. On the other hand, the new season of American Idol will be aired on GMA 7 owned station, QTV Channel 11.
So who you think should be the judges and host of this show?



at lalo na si regine…di talga bagay sa kanya…kase and host ng idol, dapat hindi dependent sa idiot board… si regine, basa lang ng basa, walang man lang mga hirit on the spot. so borring!!! kumanta nalng sya, that’s better… hehehe..

Hi fujra!
I understand your concern. I just hope it gets to the right person or group. Again, i am not connected with anyone from GMA 7 or Pinoy Idol, I’m just blogging about this upcoming show. I just hope things will turn out fair.
Good evening! Thanks for all the info guys and gals. It’s really helpful for us aspiring to become professional singers. I wish I could share something…hmmm…i’ll pray for you people! Sana lahat tayo magkar’on ng lakas ng loob sumali. ‘Wag sana tayong dagain..Sana si Ryan Agoncillo pa rin ang host at sana isa pa rin sa judges si Ryan Cayabyab for we all know he’s one of the greatest Pinoy Music Gurus . Sana makasali rin ang tatlong taong kilala kong magaling kumanta, yan eh kung hindi pa sila busy sa nursing o singing careers nila: Si Ms. Carla Yoingco, si Ms. Janina Singson at si Mr. Rem Anthony Valenzuela. Saya..sana ‘wag silang magalit sa kin sa pag-post ko ng names nila dito hehe. Comment lang sa Name ng programa: sana nga ginawa na lang na “FILIPINO IDOL” mas maganda kasing pakinggan at talaga namang un ang tawag sa ating mga Filipino, ‘di ba? Anyways, Pinoy Idol o Filipino Idol man ang itawag dyan, makasali man ako o hindi, ay buong puso ko pa ring susuportahan sampu ng aking mga kapamilya at kapuso hehe. God bless to all! Ingat lagi! More Faith and Power GMA-7! Pero ang talagang Idol ko si Mel Tiangco, Astig siya e! Salamat ng marami sa ispasyo!
another reason kung bakit hindi philippine idol ang pamagat, kasi ayaw pumayag ng abc5 na gamitin ng gma7 ang title na philippine idol kasi copyrighted sa abc5, kaya pinoy idol na lang ang pamagat sa gma7.
pwede po ba daw kahit married nah?
@ elite
well, they haven’t even stated restrictions on this so I believe they allow it.
i just want u 2 inform them or anybody whose in charge with these shows to have a fair fight for the audition set..i know ur just doing ur job but,we can’t tell them somehow if someone don’t tell about this matter anyway…hope u could help us too! kindly give concern…
im sad 2 know dat u dont even reply about this matter…sob/ it was really unfair!!! ok. i ave nothing to say,,just keep up the good work…
Hi fujra. Again, I have no control about this. I’m just blogging about this matter, and totally doesn’t have any control on this competition or have any direct connection with someone from the pinoy idol team.
hi im so excited to join pinoy idol and ive waited for this time to happen– that soon GMA will open its door to search for new talents once again…finally, im finish with my schooling…. i hope i can be qualified… God bless my dream
^^ good luck. =)
I believe that Mau marcelo should be recognized still infact she’s really the 1st Phillipine or Pinoy idol whether its GMA 7 who has now claim for its rights. I guess, wyngard Tracy would fit as a”terror” judge of the show. I’ve seen him judging a singing contest in Ch. 2 – tirador talaga!!! Ogie is OK, Am not sure of Jolina….but knowing her..she has taste for music and fashion like in AI – paula Abdul. Well, for now…let’s wait and see..
wow…tama magiging unfair para kay mau….uhm….magdadala pa ba ng minus one pag nag audition….kasi may sister and i will audition..and sana acapela na lang para mas maganda..panget kasi minsan pag may sounds,,,
anong tym po magccmula ang audition? here smy email clark_jam_17@yahoo.com

msasabi ko lang hindi serbidyong totoo yan… wlang kwenta ni wla ngang alam ung mga nagscreen eh” its NO NO eh ang galing nung kumanta ng listen… sus

I saw it on Inquirer,
Judges will be Ogie Alcasid, Jolina Magdangal and Wyngard Tracy. Jolina Magdangal being one of the judges disappointed me.
ok n sana ang PINOY idol … tingnan nyo ang mga jurors..ok n rin kaso ,,me nakasingit n mukhang naliligaw
ANO ANG GINAGAWA NI JOLINA S PINOY IDOL..NAMAN..E SYA MGA MISMO KAPOS ANG HININGA S PAGKANTA…TAPOS LATER MAG COCOMMENT P SYA S MGA CONTESTANTS N D HAMAK N MAS MAGANDA ANG BOSES S KANYA… ANO B YAN
TAMA K BELLE…BAD TRIP AKO JAN S PAGKAKASALI NI JOLINA S JURORS
anu kya title nung song pag na accept na ung contestant? im just wondering
I’m wondering too. =)
bkit hindi mgagaling yun
mga pinipili niyo?
first search p nmna yan ng
pinoy idol pero
wala ako mkita n achiever ng title.
hindi bagay tingnan si jolina sa pinoy idol dapat yong masmatanda pa sa kanya. ok si jolina sa ibang show pero sa pinoy idol hindi bagay
I have a suggestion…like the American Idol they do not have age limit as long as you have the talent…there are some who is age 37 that does not look their age…why not give them a chance? take it from me…please let’s not descriminate people…kaya yong mga talent natin recognized in other country..coz we do not appreciate them here…also i think may mga palakasan din tayo…lalo na yong inggit! crab mentality…we are number one when it comes to that…give chance to those who have talent…do not look at the age…listen to the voice! BTW …when is the audition?
what?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!! JOLINA MAGDANGAL will be one of the juror????????!!!!! haler!!!! gumising kayo! gosh wala na ba kayong makuhang iba?????? I can beat her! wala wala na talagang talent na ok dito…yes true ka dyan..palakasan system talaga yong contest dito sa atin! mag anounce kayo kung where and when ang audition nyo!
PLEASE WAG SI JOLINA MAGDANGAL! OK…SHE IS NOT QUALIFIED TO BE ONE OF THE JUDGES
bakit age 28 lang? bakit sa american Idol may 44 y.o. si R. lapuz remember? why not give a chance to those ages upto 40? hehehehe kasi 36 na ako.

…YES YOU ARE RIGHT TORRES! THEY SHOULD NOT DESCRIMINATE! THERE SHOULD NOT HAVE AGE LIMIT! AS LONG AS YOU HAVE TALENT…AND ALSO WALANG PALAKASAN!
c0mment Lng.. hindi naging fair ang GMA 7 jan sa pin0y id0L nila.. sana ginawa nLang nila na philippine idoL season 2.. kesa gumawa pa sila ng ibang name pra sa show niLa..

elow pinoy idol… sana mabasa neu to!! I dont think na maganda ang pinapakita neung elimination.. coz u’ve been eliminating mga magagaling kumanta and magperform.. if it’s upon the voters hand well i can say na ndi patas.. judges knows the best than the voters do.. mapapahiya philippines nean.. coz we all know mga tao dito dey just vote sa mga kilala nila and it wud be too unfair for those magagaling na kunti lang kapit… palakasan pala itong search na to panu kung mahirap ang sumali but then nasa kanya lahat becoz of the peoples vote matatanggal xa o c’mon.. nasa kamay neu mga judges ang pagbabago… dont tolerate such foolishness… panu yan may nakasali na mataas jan, u know wat i mean, be realistic.. dont pull out those magagaling pull out those who are not magagaling…. oo nandun na ako sa word na PINOY IDOL but bkt ung ibang singer o artista na kinuha neu dumaan ba sa gtanyan dba keu keu ang pumili nun dba naging pinoy idol din cla.. c’mon make some change…wala akong kinakmpihan dito coz kababayan ko pasok pa.. all i want is fairness and karapat dapat talagang tawaging pinoy idol.. judges nasa kamay neu din ang success ng show na ito.. kahiya hiya kung mapapanood ito sa ibang country.. u’ve been chosing the wrong ones… wake up wake up
i agree with you Dean!i’ve been watching the show at wala pa akong makitang potential winner!Bakit nakalusot ang mga finalists na ito???
