Kristel Lindsey Po Biography & Facts

Pilipinas Got Talent (PGT) is a Philippine reality talent competition show on ABS-CBN that began on February 20, 2010, replacing The Singing Bee & Pinoy Big Brother: Double Up and replaced by Twist and Shout on July 3, 2010. It is based on the Got Talent franchise, a British TV format conceived and owned by Simon Cowell's SYCO company. "Pilipinas" is the Filipino word for Philippines. Anyone can join and showcase their talents in the audition. At the sound of four (three; from season 1–4) buzzers from the judges, the auditionees are asked to stop their act. With at least three (two; from season 1–4) approval votes from the judges, they are automatically in the list for Judges Cuts, where judges have to pick only 36 acts that will move to the semi-finals. Acts will compete against each other in order to gain the audience support to win the prize money and the title of Pilipinas Got Talent. ABS-CBN acquired the Got Talent franchise, advertising it as "the first nationwide talent reality show in the Philippines," although other talent shows from other networks are aired with a similar format, such as Talentadong Pinoy on TV5. A spin-off of the format, announced in 2023, GMA acquired the French version of the Got Talent format, Battle of the Judges. Viewers are able to join through text and online registration via Internet. Auditions are held in key cities such as Manila, Baguio, Batangas, Cebu, Davao and Cagayan de Oro. The first season premiered on February 20, 2010, on ABS-CBN and ended on June 13, 2010. A second and a third season aired back to back in 2011. The fourth season aired in 2013, with the fifth one airing two and a half years later in 2016. The sixth season started airing on January 6, 2018. To date, there have been six winners: Jovit Baldivino, Marcelito Pomoy, the Maasinhon Trio, Roel Manlangit, the Power Duo, and Kristel de Catalina. The first four are singing acts while the latter two are interpretative dance acts. The winner of each season receives ₱2,000,000.00. On May 14, 2015, Filipino shadow play group El Gamma Penumbra who appeared in the third season of the national franchise as a finalist was declared the Grand Winner of the very first season of Asia's Got Talent making them the first winner of the Asian Got Talent franchise. The show ended on April 29, 2018, and was replaced by Your Face Sounds Familiar Kids. Overview Auditions Pre-auditions This is the competition's first round. Major auditions were held in major Philippine cities. Since the second season, in addition to the major auditions, there have been mini-auditions held in various provinces and cities throughout the Philippines and judged by the Pilipinas Got Talent staff. This round is held several months before the auditions for the judges. Contestants can also audition online by submitting their audition video through the official website of Pilipinas Got Talent. Acts who advance to the next round must audition in front of the judges and a live audience. Live auditions Following the pre-auditions, acts audition in front of four celebrity judges (as of 2016). The judges have the option of ending an act's performance early by pressing their red buzzer, which illuminates their corresponding X above the stage. If an act receives Xs from all of the judges, they must stop performing. Furthermore, large audiences have played a role in the judging process, as their reactions to an act's performance can swing or influence a judge's vote. As a result, the audience becomes the "fifth" ("fourth" from seasons 1–4) judge. From seasons 1 to 4, voting was done by a majority of two, with two positive votes required. Because there are four judges, voting works on a majority-of-three basis beginning with Season 5. The judging panel gives an act a "Yes" if they like it and want it to advance to the next stage of the competition, and a "No" if they don't like it and don't want to see it again. The Golden Buzzer is introduced in Season 5. Each judge may only use the Golden Buzzer once per season. Any act that receives the Golden Buzzer advances directly to the live semifinals. On the sixth season, the hosts were given the authority to press it as one. Judges' Cull The acts who have passed the live auditions round will advance to this round. The judges will deliberate on all of the acts who passed the auditions in this round. Only twenty-eight acts will be chosen to compete in the live shows. Live shows Following the deliberation of the judges on the top 28 acts in the judges' cull, each act will compete in a battle of talents in the live shows, with more than six acts qualifying for the finals. There are currently three types of live shows before the finals: quarter and semi-finals, as well as wildcard rounds. Quarter-finals The quarterfinals were first introduced in the second season and then appeared in the fourth season with six acts performing each week. After the assigned six artists for the week have done their separate acts, the public and judges will vote for one act to go to the semi-finals. The first semi-finalist will be the act with the most public votes, while the second finalist will be the act with the majority of judges' votes. The second-placed performer in the public vote — who will automatically advance to the finals —will be the second semi-finalist if the judges' votes are tied. Semi-finals The audience and judges will vote for one act to go to the grand finals after each of the six performers assigned for the week have performed their allotted acts. The first finalist will be the act with the most public votes, while the second finalist will be the act with the majority of judges' votes. The second-placed performer in the public vote—who will automatically advance to the finals—will be the second finalist if the judges' votes are tied. The fourth season introduced a new voting format in which three acts would be chosen by the judges and the general public, with two acts coming from the judges and one from the general public (the act with the most votes). Two votes will be given to each judge for the two acts they want to advance to the finals. Wildcard rounds The wildcard rounds were first used in the second season, where acts that did not receive a judge's vote were chosen to perform once more in front of the judges and audience in an effort to advance to the finals. The two spots reserved for these wildcard acts on the finale were up for grabs, and the top three acts with the highest percentage of votes were chosen to compete the following day. This was put into place following the semifinal round and before the grand finals. Grand finals The acts that managed to pass through the first four eliminations (three in the first three seasons) will compete on a live grand finale event for a final performance in the show. This time, the winner will be up to the hands of the public as the grand winner will be announced as the act with the most number of public votes. T.... Discover the Kristel Lindsey Po popular books.
