celebrity duets: jl cang eliminated

celebrity chef jl cang became the third celebrity voted out of celebrity duets last saturday. after melanie marquez and cory quirirno, jl got the lowest votes of the 6 remaining contenders after 2 weeks of voting since last episode was a pre-determined non-elimination episode.

the elimination came after 2 solid performances from jl. he started the show with some shaky and average performances. he found his niche last week with his duet with 6cyclemind's lead vocalist ney with "iskul bukol". last saturday, jl got good reviews from the judges after his rendition of the parokya ni edgar hit "mr. suave" with singing partner gian magdangal.

the remaining five contenders sang the following songs with their duet partners: carlene aguilar with partner karylle - "beautiful liar", jc buendia with partner joey generoso of side a - "tuloy pa rin ako", joey marquez with partner mike hanapol - " katawan", bayani fernando with partner julie ann of sugar pop - "somewhere over the rainbow" and phil younghusband with partner hayden kno" - "you've lost that loving feeling".

for me, the top three for the night was carlene, jl and batyani fernando. i would still go for jc buendia as the weakest performer last saturday.

celebrity duets season 2: week 5 is again a non-elimination week

week 5 of the philippine version of celebrity duets is another non-elimination week. this is the 3rd time in 5 weeks that the episode was non-elimination. the first two weeks were also non-elimination episodes also. the votes will be carried over to next week where another celebrity will be eliminated.

the songs and duet partners of the contestants for week 5 are as follows:

mmda chaiman bayani fernando with partner john lapuz - copacobana
chef jl cang with partner ney of 6cyclemind - iskul bukol
soccer hunk phil younghusband with partner sheree - i'm too sexy
comedian joey marquez with partner kyla - friend of mine
designer jc buendia with partner yasmien kurdi - raindrops keep falling on my head
beauty queen carlene aquilar with partner dulce - halik

for me, top 3 for this week would be chef jl, bayani fernando and carlene aguilar. the bottom group includes phil, joey and jc. i think the weakest performance this week was from designer jc buendia.
