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)

Mykiru is also conducting a similar poll for Shamcey Supsup, the Philippines' rep in Miss Universe 2011 pageant.

Fifty-two (52%) of the voters believe that Shamcey will win the title, while 17% believe she'll end up as a runner-up just like Venus Raj who finished 4th Runner Up in Miss Universe 2010.

Angel Locsin, Marian Rivera give way to Sam Pinto on FHM 100 Sexiest Women 2011 Poll, May 20 tally

Sam Pinto grabs the lead on FHM Philippines 100 Sexiest Women 2011 Poll based on its latest voting tally as of Friday, May 20.

Marian Rivera, who occupied the top spot during the last 3 weeks, dropped to 3rd this week and taking over is not Angel Locsin, who stays on the 2nd spot, but it's last week's 3rd placer Sam Pinto.

If Sam Pinto ends up with FHM Sexiest Woman 2011 title, it's definitely a major major achievement to beat Angel, Marian and even Cristine Reyes. Last year, Sam made her FHM Poll debut at #32.

That's actually the only major change in the poll since last week, as the remaining ladies in the Top 10 are still the same, with Valerie Concepcion climbing 2 slots, overtaking Jennylyn Mercado and Ellen Adarna.

Here's the partial tally of the FHM Philippines' 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2011 Poll, as of May 20, 2011:

Shamcey Supsup feels no pressure for Miss Universe 2011 pageant

Shamcey Supsup, the newly-crowned Binibinining Pilipinas-Universe 2011, is not pressured at all in representing the Philippines in the Miss Universe 2011 pageant which will be held 5 months from now in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Shamcey Supsup won the coveted title Sunday night and it was an added pressure to her that she succeeded Maria Venus Raj who, as we all know, ended the Philippines' 10-year-drought in the Miss Universe pageant when she entered the semis of Miss U 2010 and even placed 4th Runner Up.

And now, Shamcey is being pressured to continue what Venus has started in the pageant.

But the beauty-and-brain from General Santos City who's a Magna Cum Laude graduate from UP said during a press interview after the Coronation Night that she's feeling no pressure to match Venus' impressive performance in Miss Universe last year.

"I'm not pressured at all kasi I believe na...I was here for a reason and whatever my destiny will be (there), I'll just do my best, I'm just gonna give it my all,” Shamcey told the press, as reported on ABS-CBN's Bandila last night.

Shamcey is positive that it will be a fruitful year for the Philippines in Miss Universe 2011. "I'm really not expecting this, so let's just see what's in store for me," Shamcey tells showbiz news program SNN. "So I hope na it's going to be a fruitful year for Binibining Pilipinas. To all my fans, my friends, my family, my supporters, thank you very much. You have helped me to win this crown. I hope you will always be with me in my journey."

Goodluck Shamcey!

If you were to be asked, what do you think will be Shamcey's chances in the Miss Universe 2011 pageant this September in Brazil?

Disclaimer: Mykiru's poll is not official nor being conducted by the BPCI. It's just for fun, which aims to determine who the favorites are by online users. Mykiru will consider the results of the poll in coming up with its list of favorites just like in the previous years.

By the way, Mykiru's list of favorites (or the winners predictions) will be revealed this coming Sunday hours before the grand coronation night.

In 2007, 2009 and 2010, Mykiru's list correctly predicted 2 of the 3 titleholders.

Don't ask about the 2008 predictions 'coz the results that year were considered among the most surprising results ever of the pageant.

FHM 100 Sexiest Women 2011 voting has started! Who are you voting for?

FHM Philippines has started its search for the 100 Sexiest Women in the World for 2011.

Have you voted already? If not, here are two ways to vote.

You can vote via SMS and it's open to all Globe, Smart, Sun, TalkNText and Touch Mobile subscribers.

On your mobile phones, just type iFHM VOTE and then send to it 2640, which will cost you P2.50.

For example: iFHM VOTE Vice Ganda

And then you will receive a confirmation message which says:

"Thank you! You just sent 5 votes for ur FHM 100 Sexiest candidate & earned 1 entry to the raffle. Reg for FREE to qualify to win a Blackberry Smartphone & 2 Tickets to the FHM 100 Sexiest event. Txt SMP ON VOTE name/bday(mmddyy/gender/address/email. By registering, u will be subscribed to SMP Alerts which gives u alerts 4x/more Summit Media's promos, special offers&events. P2.50/sms."

[I just hope you won't experience what I've experienced just now. I only sent one text message, but received two confirmation messages, and when I checked my balance, P5 was deducted from my balance. But it's okay, 'coz it's a guaranteed 10 votes for my choice of FHM candidate.]

You can also do bulk voting by texting iFHM20 VOTE or iFHM50 VOTE and then send it also to 2640.

P20 SMS vote is equivalent to 40 votes while P50 worth of votes could give your candidate 100 votes.

The other way to vote for the FHM Philippines 100 Sexiest Women 2011 is by logging in at http://www.fhm.com.ph/100sexiestwomen/voting2011/form where you will be asked to register or log in your username and password.

You can vote for as many as 10 candidates by checking the box beside the name of your choice.

Online voters can only vote once per day.

It's kinda weird though that I still saw the name of Binibining Pilipinas-International 2010 Melody Gersbach who died in a car crash last August as one of the choices there.

Voting ends June 15, 2011.

The FHM Philippines' list of 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2011 will be revealed in its July 2011 issue with the FHM Sexiest Party happening on July 14, 2011 at World Trade Center, Pasay City.

Who are you voting for? May we know please?
