The six Binibinis who scored the highest for me in the Talent Competition
Yesterday afternoon, the Bb. Pilipinas 2016 Talent Competition was held at the Activity Center of Gateway Mall with quite a good-sized crowd in attendance. Eighteen of the Forty Binibinis displayed their skills in singing, dancing and more.
And among the performers, it’s quite easy to short-list the six (6) Best in Talent. Actually, I think that the #1 spot is practically a given for Binibini 24 Niza Sabrina Sophia Limjap who delivered a stirring rendition of “On My Own” from Les Miserables. If she does not win the Special Award come April 17, I would simply think that the judges favored one of the dancers. There were three who stood out in this department – Binibini 1 Janelle Olafson, Binibini 7 Angelique de Leon and Binibini 16 Vina Openiano in that order. My hunch is that the ultimate choice would be one of the four mentioned.
I would also like to cite the more than creditable performances of Binibini 12 Edjelyn Joy Gamboa in vocals and Binibini 22 Apriel Smith who did a bouncy Beyonce lip-sync complete with all the right moves.
All in all, I am happy that majority of those who participated in this event really showed talent and not just something rehearsed for exposure. Not bad collectively. Not bad at all. ;-)
