Ai Ai, Lani, Christian sa The Clash 4: Hinahanap namin total package, pero sana mabait din, walang attitude

Ai Ai delas Alas, Christian Bautista at Lani Misalucha

IKALAWANG linggo pa lang ng “The Clash” season 4 ng GMA 7 pero sunud-sunod na agad ang pasabog ng programa para sa mga clashers at sa mga manonood.

Totoo nga ang promise ng The Clash Panel na sina Christian Bautista, Lani Misalucha at Ai Ai delas Alas na mas magiging istrikto at mapanuri sa pagpili ng mga contestants na karapat-dapat umabot sa finals.

Sabi nga ni Christian, “We would add extra excitement and concern. But it’s still going to be critical.”

“Others just wanted to give (singing) a try, while others think that for this year, this is all they have, this is all that they’re betting on.

“And there’s someone you will see who’s putting in that effort. Kailangan gawin namin to the best of our abilities as judges, to really give it to the most deserving,” pahayag pa ni Christian.

Dagdag pa niya, “We never put them (contestants) down, we never make them feel bad for themselves.” 

Sey naman ni Lani, “We need to be straightforward, hindi pwedeng mag-baby. What’s important is when you say a straightforward comment, you make sure that it will help him or her. You criticize him or her in a way to uplift her spirits and to make him or her think better about that aspect of the performance.”

Aniya pa, ipauubaya na nila ni Ai Ai kay Christian ang pagiging teknikal sa pagdya-judge, “He is very meticulous. Nahihimay-himay niya talaga ang lahat, ng isang performance ng isang Clasher.”

Para naman kay Ai Ai, “Every season, I have gimmick like there’s Birdy and now I have a grading system. And I’m also the type who looks after the overall impact of the (clashers), including the clothes, the appearance and the emotion, dun ako nagta-tackle ng kind of judging ko.”

Ano nga ba ang hahanapin nila sa  “The Clash” Season 4 champion na susunod sa yapak nina Golden Cañedo, Jeremiah Tiangco at Jessica Villarubin.

“A contestant who has the determination and a big talent. An artist, who shows us that he or she is deserving, wala naman kaming type na hinahanap na dapat ganito, kung sino lang yung deserving,” ani Christian.

“We look for someone who is hopefully a total package. Aside from having great talent and delivering an impressive performance, he or she should have a personality and is charming.

“Sana rin mabait siya, although mahirap nga yata na mahanap lahat yung mga aspeto na yun o ingredients para maging isang grand champion,” sey ni Lani.

Hahanapin naman ni Ai Ai sa mga clasher ang pagiging professional at team player hindi yung feeling superstar agad at maraming angst sa buhay.

“Malaking bagay yun. Let’s say this person is really good at what he or she does, and possesses all the good qualities, but no one wants to work with him or her. Paano sisikat yun kung ganu’n?” aniya pa.

Napapanood ang “The Clash” Season 4 tuwing Sabado, 7:15 at Linggo, 7:40 p.m. sa GMA.
