Recently on ASAP XV, they unveiled Sarah Geronimo's latest project "iDOL." The show's supposedly a Glee-inspired musical drama series. The show also features Sam Milby, Coco Martin, Matteo Guidicelli, Sam Concepcion, K. Brosas, Jon Avila, and the first Pilipinas Got Talent! grand winner Jovit Baldivino.
Obviously this is ABS-CBN's answer to Charice Pempengco's starring on the smash US TV show Glee.
If you'll recall, Charice Pempengco performed in an obscure ABS-CBN talent show, Little Big Star, where she was dumped. ABS-CBN found out later that that very talent they let go of is now a feature of a Hollywood TV series.
ABS CBN conceptualizers really have a knack for ripping shows off. After ripping of Wowowee and renaming it to Pilipinas Win na Win!, they now have Glee ripoff, a Sharon Cuneta movie-turned-tv series called iDOL? What are the chances?
Anyway, I wish the best for this show. Surely this would sell to the Filipino masses, especially because of Sarah Geronimo and Jovit Baldivino. Ha. Maybe that's why Jovit Baldivino was signed a contract there and then at the Pilipinas Got Talent! grand stage - to avoid him being signed by other foreign music entities and be placed at iDOL.
Sarah Geronimo's iDOL is scheduled to hit your TV screen somewhere around September.
Like I said, I wish the best for this show. Who knows, maybe I'm going to watch iDOL if it's good.
'Till my next installment.
