Sorry for the late upload, been experiencing bad internet connection for the past week. Good thing they were able to get it done before tonight's episode.

What did we miss last week? Did the coaches made good decisions? Will we see another surprise pick from Coach Bamboo? Let's see.

Team Bamboo opened the night for Battle Rounds. Isabella Fabregas and Angelica Prado battled out with the song "Don't Speak" of No Doubt. No doubt that this was a very great performance and a very controversial one. I think in this performance, it was Angelica who outperformed Isabella Fabregas. Another surprise pick from Coach Bamboo. I am now confused on what is his plan for his team. 



No DOUBT, his team is the weakest SO FAR. No offense to the talents he have on his team right now, they are all talented but they're not enough to battle Thor, Radha, Maki and Junji. I was really disappointed because during blind auditions, Team Bamboo was close enough to winning this competition. But after the Lee Grane controversy, it was just followed by another one. I just hope that during the last part of the battle rounds, he will be able to put up a competitive team.





Big Momma J and Lance Fabros battled it out for a slot on Team Apl's team. They sang "Don't Stop Believing". I think this is a mismatch and wrong pairing. You know who will win even if you don't watch them perform.



I couldn't say that it was a great performance since in my opinion that song wasn't really one of their genre. Maybe it was too low or high for one of them but I commend Janice Javier's stage presence. I felt her performance, she really doesn't want that night to be her last. Clearly, her hard work paid off. Lance wasn't just able to keep up with the intensity of Janice Javier. Coach Apl is really blessed and packed with a lot of talents!



The next one was in my opinion the best battle of the night. Team Lea's Darryl Shy and MJ Podolig. Their song might not be really a typical battle song but that really doesn't matter as long as they can deliver what the message of the song asked. I hope they can record a studio version of "Tuwing Umuulan at Kapiling Ka".


I can say that Mr. Daryl Shy is the dark horse on Team Lea.  You might underestimate him but I can really see that he has more to give on this competition. As for MJ Podolig, he did great but nothing spectacular. Coach Lea is really great in giving advices to her team. She is not holding back on anything, she will say anything she wants because she wants you to be better. I would love to be coached by Ms. Lea Salonga.


Last battle of the night was Team Sarah's Mommy Eva Delos Santos and Michaellen Temporada. I can consider this as an odd pairing but I was really surprised with Coach Sarah's team performance so far. Her team is for me, the team to beat in this competition. She might be an underdog during the blind auditions but she have surpassed Coach Bamboo's team in terms of giving the audience the performance they deserve. Coach Sarah continues to impress me with her song choice, mentoring and even her positive vibe that everything will turn out right. She is proving everyone why she deserves to be seating next to those 3 other judges!


Mommy Eva was just the better singer that night. :) Just sad to see a good singer leave the competition this early.


Last 2 battle rounds left! I honestly can't wait for RJ Dela Fuente, Radha and Maki Ricafort's battle. :)

Do you agree with me? Did they made the right decisions?

It's time to get to know the members of each team. I will enumerate everyone and will probably tell who I think are the strongest members of each team. 



Let us start with Team Sarah. I am correcting myself, I honestly thought that Team Sarah was one of the weakest team but I have got to say, she also got some really good singers on her team. I am impressed that Sarah, despite being the youngest among the 4, know what she really want for her team.



Probably her strongest weapon for this season, Junji Arias will be Team Sarah's front runner for this season. Junji sang the song I'll be there for you and got a 3 chair turn. I must say, I did not expect Junji to choose Sarah in the first place, but who couldn't pick a coach who treated you like a hero after you performed? I would say this was a very smart choice for Junji too.



Junji Arias: I'll be there for you



Sarah also got a very good soulful singer in the name of Maki Ricafort. The former South Border member is now ready to make his own name. His version of Foolish Heart is probably one of the smoothest version I have ever heard. Controlled, and you can really hear that he has been doing this for a very long time. Among Team Sarah, I am rooting for Maki Ricafort.


Next one would be Morissete Amon, she was the one who looks like and sounds like just like Sarah Geronimo. Definitely has the qualities to become the next popstar. She is also one of the better singers on her team. Michaellen Temporada, a registered Nurse but now he is not in the hospital but rather in the stage fulfilling his dream. He sang the song Summertime and got a 4 chair turn from the judges. Sarah is very lucky to have this guy.




Last but not the least, I can also see Hans Dimayuga staying for a long time in this competition. Sarah was the only one who pushed her button but I was really impressed with his vocals on that song. Let's hope that he will stay consistent.

Those are my top picks for Team Sarah. Here are the rest of the team:

Team Sarah
1. Junji Arias **
2. Eva delos Santos
3. Morissette Amon **
4. Michaellen Temporada **
5. Gabriel Ramos
6. Hans Dimayuga **
7. Kathreen Castro
8. Hideyuki Ito
9. Lecelle Trinidad
10. Maki Ricafort **
11. Klarisse de Guzman
12. Rouxette Swinton
13. Dave Jonathan Lamar

Note: ** Paolo's picks

Do you have the same picks with mine? Who are the strongest singers for Team Sarah? 

Keep the Faith.
