During tonight's (May 1, 2011) live episode of Pilipinas Got Talent 2 or PGT 2, two (2) out of the six (6) contestants who performed last night have been announced as grand finalists of the talent search.

Pilipinas Got Talent 2 (PGT 2) Grand Finalists - Week 1

The first was determined through the result of the votes cast by the show's viewers through SMS. It was "Freestylers", a dance crew from Laguna, who gained the most number of votes (46.32% of the total votes) taking an instant spot in the grand finals.

The judges were made to decide whom to give the second grand finals spot from the contestants who ranked 2nd (Rico the Magician) and 3rd (Madrigal Siblings) on the text voting. Madrigal Siblings, a trio of young singers, took the spot after they earned the votes of judges Kris Aquino and Ai-ai delas Alas who got emotional when they revealed their votes. Judge FMG, on the other hand, voted for Rico the Magician.

Another set of semi-finalists will again be performing live next Saturday who will again undergo the same process as tonight's, the following day.

A week ago, ABS-CBN's TV show franchise "Pilipinas Got Talent" started airing its second season. Showing a fresh episode every Saturday and Sunday, there has been 4 episodes so far and I would have to say that they are all packed with surprise performances and unique talents.


During last night's episode, a dance act amazed the judges which I think is the highlight of this episode. Queen of All Media Kris Aquino commented, "Parang any moment may mababalian ng leeg."

The hiphop dance performance was from the all-male group "Freestylers" from Calamba, Laguna. The dance crew composed of 14 boys impressed everyone with their dancing and tumbling skills and a synchronized stunt.
