DISCOVERING NEW stars is the lifeblood of showbusiness so we’re not surprised that GMA-7 and TV5 are now both conducting their respective artista searches: “Protégé: The Battle for the Big Artista Break” and “Artista Academy”. It'll be a contest of who has the better-looking candidates.
Last week in GMA’s “Inside Protege”, shown after “One True Love”, we saw mentor Jolina Magdangal in the Visayas with the applicants who made it to the 2nd round of auditions. This included a girl named Nina who got on stage and refused to go down until she was allowed to perform, a brother and sister plus the brother’s girlfriend, a Carmina Villaroel look-alike, the daughter of a convict, a cutie soccer player, and a riches-to-rags young lady. Jolens asked two wannabes to remove their make up that’s too thick. The episode ends with images of Visayas Region Top 8.
This week sees Direk Gina Alajar search for her protégés in South Luzon. The first applicant, Jan Enrique, performed "No Boundaries" but lacked energy. Direk Gina told Jan and the rest of auditionees that this is their chance to shine so they should give their best.
Among those who performed are a cabin crew member, a professional "extra", a chef, a janitor, a dishwasher and a construction worker. The episode ends with Direk Gina's top 8 choices for South Luzon, but the search is still on at the world wide web. This episode features two online auditionees and a bit of their profile.
