Ultimate Pop Star Kid named- w/ appearances of RV & OA
Rita Iringan
+ + + + + + + + A RV friends/cronies affair + + + + +
NOTE THAT: The panel of judges, headed by Wilma Galvante?
GMA-7 had their own people attached with the network doing
the judging?! Couldn't they been a little less obvious about
it? Tsk.. I'm personally against shows with children on them.
There's a good showbiz reason.. Regine's music pals were
also there- Janno, Ogie, Jaya and Regine did a duet with
former GMA-7 now Backroom artist Kyla. Even Cacai Mitra was
there as one of the judges there as well. hehe.. can we
start believing that maybe certain GMA-7 people are being
nice nowadays to Regine and her music pals. They should be..

It was the night when the stars took their day off from the heavens
to catch the brewing excitement over at the Premier Theater in SM
Mall of Asia as the first Pop Star Kid was born.
Rita Daniela Iringan emerged as the ultimate kid champ last Sunday,
September 17, and was crowned as the best among the best in Year One
of the only kid-reality superstar search of QTV 11, Pop Star
Kids.
It was a welcome belated birthday gift for the kid from Parañaque as
she turned 11 years old the day before the PSK Big Night.
Iringan regaled the audience and held the judges in an impressed
trance when she gingerly walked on the stage and delivered an
achingly smooth rendition of Stand Up for Love, originally done by
Destiny's Child.
It was a tight contest among the five grand contenders, composed of
Iringan, Pocholo Bismonte, Renzo Ramil Almario, Vanessa Rangadhol and
Julie Anne San Jose.
Each contender was armed with a song that suited his/her vocal range,
stage presence and charm that can easily delight the audience and at
the same time make the judging more difficult for the panel of
distinguished judges as easily pointed out by PSK host Kyla and
special guest co-host Raymond Gutierrez.
The panel of judges, headed by Wilma Galvante, GMA-7 senior vice
president for entertainment television, was composed of Darling de
Jesus, GMA assistant vice president talk/musical/specials; Nyoy
Volante; Cacai Velasquez-Mitra, record producer/singer; and Nanette
Inventor.
The PSK grand contenders effortlessly packed the 1,220-seater Premier
Theater with respective supporters — family and friends — waving
banners, tarpaulins and sporting hued shirts of their personal bets'
identified colors.
Each contender was introduced by their respective idols – Rita was
ushered by Jolina Magdangal; Julie Anne was introduced by Karylle;
young balladeer Pocholo, who was nursing a cough that night, was
presented by Ogie Alcasid; young rocker Renzo was introduced by Janno
Gibbs; and PSK's soul princess Vanessa was introduced by Queen of
Soul Jaya.
Asia's Songbird Regine Velasquez graced the affair, figuring in a
powerful Mariah Carey duet with Kyla.
Each Pop Star Kid was teamed-up with a Pinoy Pop Superstar for an
explosive production number of alternative hits as well.
Vanessa and Brenan Espartinez opened the act followed by Julie Anne
and Harry Santos, Renzo and Jonalyn Viray, Rita and Gerald Santos and
Pocholo and Aicelle Santos.
Iringan took home a hefty P300,000 cash prize with an all-expense
paid family vacation to Golden Sunset Resort courtesy of SM Mall and
Gandang Ricky Reyes, respectively.
Rita, together with Pocholo, Renzo, Vanessa and Julie Anne, also got
a talent management contract with GMA Network.
Bagging the top plum and making their debut in the entertainment
industry in one long night would make anybody think that these kids
would demand something special, but guess what they requested for
minutes after the exhausting finals night?
"Now we can have ice cream!"
--------------------------------- >
Who was asking for ice-cream? The contestants
or the guest artists/celebrities? hehe..
