it only shows how truly world class ABS CBN is. kaya i find all comments of kapusucks sa PEP.ph baseless and mindless when they claim that their artist are at par with ABS. ha they are dreaming.
tapos ratings? cmon! it is al;ready a fact that they have infiltrated the manila households kaya nakuhan nila. hindi lang nila kaya dayain ang musik industry kaya ayun lumabas ang katotohanan.
Mabuhay ang OPM mabuhay Ang ABS CBN!

Jay Cayuca does not deserve to win. He plagiarized his website, a known womanizer to close friends and families and a user! Yes, he plays the violin well, but who knows where he copied his music and performance style?
