The judges:
RYAN CAYABYAB - stern, but not in a Simon Cowell-wannabe kind of way; he appreciates talent when he sees it; keeps his comments to a minimum

PILITA CORRALES - occassionally irritating, but generally good; does not try be to sweet; sincere

FRANCIS MAGALONA - refreshing; nice but not too nice

The host:
RYAN AGONCILLO - ok but not remarkable

Those who got in:
Ira Marasigan - formerly sang in Kuala Lumpur and other foreign cities; sang Route beautifully; a very, very strong contender

Benjamin Cruz - dressed as a cowboy; has an ok singing talent; will probably not get into the final 12

Cherry Ann Chiu - sang Ispageti; talented and gutsy; will get into the final 12
