Philippine Idol Semifinalists

Philippine Idol Semifinalists

The Philippine Idol Semifinalists consisted of 12 aspiring singers who competed for Philippine Idol, but were unable to secure a spot in the Top 12 Finalists. They were selected after several stages of audition and theater eliminations. The semi-finalists were then divided by gender and the two groups alternately performed at SM Megamall Cinema 3, where a stage was specially built for the live shows.

Each semi-finalist sang one song of their choice and received comments from each of the judges. The viewers voted for their favorites by dialing a toll-free telephone number or sending an SMS as many times as possible until 8:30 p.m. the following day.

The top 4 contestants of each group entered the Top 12. Then ten of the remaining 16 then performed in a Wildcard round, with the Top 4 completing the Top 12. Candidates for the Wildcard was announced after the second Semi-Finals Results Show, although it was shown a week later.

Famous quotes containing the word idol:

    Your mock saint who stands in a niche is not a woman if she have not suffered, still less a woman if she have not sinned. Fall at the feet of your idol as you wish, but drag her down to your level after that—the only level she should ever reach, that of your heart.
    Emmuska, Baroness Orczy (1865–1947)
