Martin Nievera slams X-Factor audience

 Was it right for Martin Nievera to slam the audience and text voters by blurting out

“Shame on you” when his “The X-Factor Philippines” bet Kedebon Colim from Cebu was voted out last Sunday?

Martin must have been carried away with his emotions but outburst was uncalled for and was rather distasteful. A lot of viewers were turned off by Martin’s outburst that they took to the social networking sites to get back at the Concert King.

No matter how much Martin’s desire to have Kedebon continue in the contest, the text voters have spoken and wanted the guy from Cebu out of the contest. Martin should be thankful instead that Kedebon, despite his lack of good features and really outstanding talent, made as far as landing in the Top 6. With the number of bashers and haters of Kedebon, it was a surprise he continued to hold sway until he was voted out.

Martin was being so overly sensitive with regards to Kedebon. We’ve read a lot of comments from Facebook and Twitter maligning Kedebon and making fun of him. For them it was a big relief that the guy from Cebu had been sent home.

New Kapuso contract star Rafael Rosell plans to watch the original Koreanovela “Temptation of Wife” to prepare himself for his role in the series. GMA 7 is doing a remake of the popular series and joining Rafael in the cast are Dennis Trillo and Marian Rivera. This will be directed by Dominic Zapata.

Rafael says he wants to prepare himself for this new role. He wants to have a character study of his role as Nigel and he wants to talk to their director so he would know how to attack his role as Nigel.

He is both happy and excited when he learned that he’d be working with Marian and Dennis. “I am very excited to work with both of them since they are big stars in the Kapuso network. It would be a great challenge for me to better my acting. But I won’t have a hard time adjusting with them kasi I’ve known them before and we have the same manager,” he said.

Rafael is excited to begin a new phase in his career as a Kapuso.

Aside from “Temptation of Wife”, Rafael also appears in “Party Pilipinas” every Sunday.

Cinemalaya and Golden Screen Awards awardee Edgar Allan Guzman continues to get good reviews for his performance in the stageplay “Bona” with Ms. Eugene Domingo as co-actor.

One actress who is truly proud of Edgar Allan is Nora Aunor whom Edgar got close to after they worked together in “Sa Ngalan ng Ina.” Bona’s last performance will be on Sunday, and if talks are true, Nora might just drop by again to watch and show her support.

Aside from the positive feedback regarding the stageplay, Edgar is also happy that his CD Lite with the song Hanggang Dito Na Lang is in the Top 10 of 103.5

On Saturday, Edgar Allan is featured in a special episode in “Maalaala Mo Kaya” where he plays a closet homosexual.
