Am I The Only One Who?: Thoughts On Sirkus, Addy Raj, SundayPinasaya

As I reflect to this past days on GMA I wonder, Am I The Only One Who. . .

. . . pleasantly surprised GMA didn't cut the part of ABS-CBN singers in their telecast of Regine Velasquez Alcasid's R3.0 concert?
As we learned from the past GMA doesnt want contract stars of their rival network to appear in their broadcasts so I prefer their part on the concert to be cut in the editing room but Im surprised they didnt and even shown RVA's duet with Sarah Geronimo an ABS-CBN top star.

. . . wonder why GMA is so devoted to Addy Raj?
His acting skills is as limitted as his Tagalog, lets not even go to his speech problems, but that doesn't stop GMA from giving him acting roles but the more crazy thing about it is that they are willing to do more work for him. They used to put subtitles in his dialogues before and now paying a voice actor to dub his lines as seen in his awful stint in Sirkus. Are GMA executives that too fond of abs?

. . . think Sirkus is better than any other dramas produced by GMA's Entertainment Department at the moment?
GMA Public Affairs' series has a fantasy theme which is a reminisce of Encantadia and and Angel Locsin's old series Majika, its story isn't too dragging and best of all, it doesn't feauture catfights.

That being said am I the only one who. . .

. . . think catfights is too overused in GMA dramas?
Sunshine Dizon vs Ryza Cenon made it a trend in Ika-6 Na Utos, now Bianca Umali vs Kyline Alcantara and Megan Young vs Katrina Halili have been regular bouts on TV lately. Can GMA just produce a celebrity wrestling show?

. . . think Marian Rivera and Jose Manalo asking GMA female teenstars to introduce themselves on Sunday Pinasaya's game segment was kind of telling them "We and our writers dont know you"?
Honestly, except for Mikee Quintos even I cant really recall their names and faces so I was wondering if either GMAAC didnt gave their names to the production or the writers just forgot to flash their names on the prompter. Its kind of embarrassing for the girls to appear like they were just walk-in contestants, well they did introduced the male guests and much of them are virtually unknowns aswell.

. . . as a fan got offended when Sunday Pinasaya mentioned Alden Richards but just referred to Julie Anne San Jose as one of "other kapuso stars" when they promoted their Kpop prod before a break?
Thats too much diservice to Julie, her screentime is already shorter than guest stars Miguel Tanfelix and Kyline Alcantara and the only segment she gets to be featured prominently are singing prods which should've been her own segment yet she get to share the stage with too many people she could sing and dance circles around, maybe thats fine but not to be billed on it is a clear disrespect.

. . . not getting too high with Julie Anne San Jose's said upcoming tv series My Guitar Princess yet?
I do appreciate GMA Public Affairs effort to make up with the entertainment group's neglect and I do commend them for making Gil Cuerva as her leading man and not any of the OneUp Boys but its still doesn't have a target airing date and not even on its pre-production stage. The longer it takes for the camera to start rolling the more chances for it to be shelved for next year and who knows maybe by that time GMA's other favorite princess Gabbi Garcia's schedule is free.

That being said, am I the only one who

. . . wonder whatever happened to Julie's singing and hosting project Lilybeth Rasonable promised two years ago?

7 Times GMA Ruined Their Own Creation

Image
Change is constant, sometimes it's for the better but sometimes it's for the worse, but for GMA Network at times it's something they thought it's for the better only to end up ruining what is great. When people know what they're doing it's better to just leave them alone, however GMA is notorious for messing up with what their viewers enjoy, cause they believe they know better. You would think they're always trying to blow themselves up on purpose, like someone in there saying "Let's see how bad we can mess this up." Here are 7 Times GMA Ruined Their Own Creation".

Maging Sino Ka Man Failing In The Rating Race

Image
GMA's new Primetime Teleserye Maging Sino Ka Man has not been so impressive in terms of ratings, it's just the third most-watched show on primetime in its debut week and not even the most-watched GMA primetime program, that honor goes to 24Oras while ABS-CBN's Batang Quiapo is now the undisputed number 1 weekday show after Voltes V legacy ended. What is even more alarming is that the ratings trend for MSKM is on a downward trajectory while Batang Quiapo is having a surge. MagingSinoKaMan's rating is just too low for its timeslot, it got bumped by Royal Blood and even by the afternoon show Abot Kamay Na Pangarap out of the top 3 daily programs. While some may say that it's still in the top 5 programs this is still disappointing considering its stars Barbie Forteza and David Licauco were fresh out of the successful Maria Clara at Ibarra and were highly touted for the show's success and were named the breakout loveteam. With the series being said to be limite

I Was Right About Louise Delos Reyes

Image
I have always been skeptical about the huge push GMA handed to Louise Delos Reyes. From the start I've been firm and very vocal in my opinion that she's a hardsell as a leading lady, much more as the Network's top star. After a not so successful youth oriented series on TV5, Louise returned to GMA as an impromptu onscreen partner to Elmo Magalona in Pilyang Kerubin, and later as one of the casts of Tween Hearts, but only for very short stint as she was immediately elevated to leadstar status to play the title role in Alakdana and since starred in several primetime dramas, including the drowned Kambal Sirena. Fast forward today, GMA's Next Most Important Leading Lady has found herself suddenly below the level of importance. She'd been out of big projects for quite some time now and just doing forgettable guestings, she's even rendered invisible in the overcrowded Sunday AllStars that is also lowering its curtains soon. It was said that Louise will be part of
