Pow Chavez's Philippine Idol journey ends.

Pow Out but Not Down

Although it was Miguel’s first time to be in the bottom rung, the Miguelista fan base still came through for their heart throb idol as Ryan Agoncillo told Pow Chavez that her journey with Philippine Idol ends tonight. We cannot help but witness more emotional outpouring from Pow Chavez. Miguel is also teary eyed at the outcome both from relief that he is still in contention for the idol plum and from sadness that another close pal will be leaving.

Pow composes herself enough to perform for the last time on the Philippine idol centerstage. The words of “So Far So Good” fill the air and we are all reassured that indeed things are still okay. Pow has done a lot of growing up herself in the course of the competition and so have our idol fans. Prejudices have been unconsciously set aside in admiration for this person who has so much talent. So promising was Pow when she came to Philippine idol that when Mr.C initially heard her sing he had boldly predicted that she would become the first Philippine Idol. Maestro Ryan Cayabyab was not entirely wrong. In standing up and believing in herself, Pow is truly being admired. Her being true to herself showed us all that talent can come in all shapes, sizes and gender orientation. Pow may now be out of the Philippine Idol competition but she still has so much to thank Philippine Idol for. She has found a second family which has welcomed her with open arms no matter what she was. She has also gained the confidence to share her talent for music to even more people. Her journey with Philippine Idol will continue to inspire idol fans long after the competition is over.
