Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2
Grand Finals (Results Night)
June 26, 2011

Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 has concluded Sunday night with the announcement of winner in Araneta Coliseum, the same venue where the 14 grand finalists showcased their talents on Saturday to win the public votes.

The votes have been counted and the Season 2 grand winner of Pilipinas Got Talent has been revealed.

Singer Marcelito Pomoy took center stage tonight as he was announced as the finalist with the highest vote percentage (19.56%) becoming Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 Grand Winner.

The 25-year-old Male Diva and former construction worker from Cavite took home a cash prize of P2 million.

It wasn't a landslide victory for Marcelito unlike in PGT Season 1 when Jovit Baldivino, also a singer, won bigtime with 48.41% of the votes, over Baguio Metamorphosis with a very far 15.39%.

This season's 2nd placer, the tap dancing duo Happy Feet composed of brothers Ramonito and Lolito Mata, came so close to Marcelito. Happy Feet got 18.32% of the votes and as the runner-up, they received P100,000 cash prize.

But with 19.56% and 18.32% respectively, Marcelito and Happy Feet were the clear top choices by most viewers as the rest of the finalists only got below 10% of the votes.

Dance group Freestylers from Calamba, Laguna was named 3rd Placer with 9.46% and also won P100,000 cash.

The rest of the 14 grand finalists were awarded P50,000 cash prize.

Here's the official results of Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 or the ranking of the 14 grand finalists based on the combined SMS and online votes:

Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 Grand Finals: Who should win? (Poll)

Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 Grand Finalists are now complete with Rico The Magician and the Skeights being named as the 13th and 14th grand finalists of the season after they won the wildcard round held on Independence Day, June 12 (Sunday), at the AFP Theater.

Of the 14 PGT Season 2 grand finalists, more than half come from Luzon (8) and three (3) each from the Visayas and Mindanao.

Just like in Season 1, the grand finalists are mostly singers.

PGT Season 2 is actually lacking in variety. 50% of the grand finalists are singers and 5 are dancers, 1 is a hula hoop tricker and 1 magician. (That explains why there was a need to hold a wildcard competition.)

LUZON
Angel Calalas, 22, Cainta, Rizal (Hula Hoop Tricker)

Freestylers, Calamba, Laguna (dance group)
John Michael Narag, 16, Mabini,Pangasinan (singer)
Madrigal Siblings, Cainta, Rizal (singing trio)

The 2-night Grand Finals of Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 will be held on June 25 and 26 at the Araneta Coliseum.

Jem Cubil, Happy Feet advance to Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 grand finals (May 15 Results)

After 6 semi-finalists on Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 took the stage Saturday night, May 14, 2 of them were announced as grand finalists during the results night held Sunday, May 15.

And they are tap dancing brothers Ramonito and Lolito Mata or better known as the Happy Feet from Bukidnon Province and singing heart-throb Jem Cubil from Talisay City, Cebu.

As what Mykiru's Poll has predicted, Happy Feet got the highest number of text and online votes, a high 50.51%, and has automatically entered the grand finals.

The tap dancing duo is the first from Mindanao to enter Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 Grand Finals.

Jem Cubil, who got the 2nd highest votes, had to compete against another singer Collins Gutierrez, the 3rd highest vote-getter, in winning the judges' votes.

All three judges chose Jem, and this 17-year-old Cebuano cutie becomes the first from the Visayas to advance to the finals.

Here's the voting results for Pilipinas Got Talent (PGT) Season 2 Semi-Finals Week 3, May 15, 2011:
1. Happy Feet, Bukidnon (Tap Dancing Brothers/Duo) 50.51% - VOTERS' CHOICE

Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2: Jem Cubil Semi-Finals Performance

It's the 3rd week of Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 Semi-Finals and another batch of 6 semi-finalists took the stage tonight, May 14, 2011, to compete for 2 slots in the grand finals.

Who do you think would own those 2 slots in the finals?

This 3rd batch of semi-finalists of Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 actually isn't hard to judge, as opposed to what judge Ai-Ai delas Alas said that it was a tough batch just like the previous 2 semi-final weeks.

Among the 6 semi-finalists who competed tonight, I'm sure most of you would like 17-year-old Jem Cubil from Talisay City, Cebu to advance to PGT Season 2 finals, while the other slot could either be for Dance Selection or Happy Feet.

For his semi-final performance, Jem Cubil sang David Cook's "Time of My Life" as he played the guitar.

Did you like his performance? Or did you like him as he is, Jem Cubil a good-looking teen guy who can sing well and play the guitar?

Kris Aquino and Ai-Ai delas Alas, just like how they admired Markki Stroem in Season 1, have appreciated Jem's looks and charm more than his musical talent.

Ai-Ai said: "Napaka-fresh mo ngayong gabi na 'to. Ang cute cute mo ngayong gabing ito." while Kris said: "Pamatay ang kagwapuhan mo!"

As a viewer myself, I actually didn't care about his singing. I was just looking at his face and smile as he stood there on stage. He was looking his best tonight.

I know this is Pilipinas Got Talent and not a star-search hunting for both good-looking and talented, but I think having the ability to charm the audience, which is a quality that every performer should have, is a talent and Jem has it.

Watch Jem Cubil's PGT Semi-Finals Performance:

This is how Mykiru's Poll ranks this week's batch of PGT Season 2 semi-finalists:

1. Happy Feet, Bukidnon (Tap Dancing Brothers/Duo)
2. Jose Emmanuel "Jem" Cubil, 17, Talisay City, Cebu (singer / musician)
3. Dance Selection, Taguig City (cheerdancers / acrobats)
4. Collins Gutierrez, 24, San Pedro, Laguna (singer)
5. Rafael Pavia, 5, Matina, Davao City (singer)
6. Zaldy Carlos, 38, Tondo, Manila (singer)

If Jem Cubil doesn't get the highest votes and be pitted against Happy Feet or Dance Selection for the judges' votes, he'll find it hard to enter the grand finals. Judge FHM might not pick him while judges Ai-Ai and Kris will be having a hard time to make a decision.

Here's how to vote for your favorite contestants:

Just type

PGT HAPPY for Happy Feet
PGT JEM for Jem Cubil
PGT DANCE for Dance Selection
PGT COLLINS for Collins Gutierrez
PGT RAFAEL for Rafael Pavia
PGT ZALDY for Zaldy Carlos
