@eia_sunday This gown is better for me because it looks like it will allow more fluid movement. I appreciate the Palestinian reference Gazini is pushing for with her EG, but that cape is the absolute wrong material. It held her back from slaying the pasarela side of her performance. Tigas.
@Haydenfreedom Dami was 1st with the jury in 2016 but during that time, there was the novelty factor with AU being 2 years old in the contest, on top of Dami being a vocal beast ofc. There was still that grace period. Now jury votes have been more regionalistic. Some votes were major WTFs.
Well, if goddess Delta - with all that vocal slayage, pyrotechnic shit & a golden piano erection - can't even put Australia at least at number 2, what's the point of even making an effort? Send a George Street busker next year ๐ (Also GRATS to Bulgaria ๐ง๐ฌ ๐) #Eurovisiรณn2026
@gmanews Would be nice if Boy Abunda gave the exact same energy in coming to Bea's defense to in relation to the allegations of her being an opportunist, but no.
@pc_adi10@ichpruens@PreciousPaulaN MUPH is watched by pageant fans everywhere. Even LatAm/Thai fans are keeping tabs on who will win. There's a reason this show was previously hosted by previous MU winners. You can't just be a passable host to host MUPH. On top of being famous, theres an onus to perform well too.
@scalemodelnivia@PreciousPaulaN I don't hate Marina. But being the main host of a major local pageant isn't her forte yet. She would've done well with a more experienced co-host or maybe provide running commentary or backstage host.
@ichpruens@PreciousPaulaN Sure the org hired her. But the onus to perform well is on Marina. She's a self-confessed pageant fan herself so she knows the stakes. So she's not immune to fair criticism.
@icchanvalmonte@PreciousPaulaN The call out about her hosting IS fair. Even YOU did it in your post & that's exactly what I am doing. Truth is Marina just isn't there on the hosting side yet for a big show like MUPH. She doesn't get a free pass just because it's her first time.
@JerviWrightson@marinaxsummers Sure...but hosting, just like reading the national news in front of the tele every night, require SKILLS that are learned and honed overtime. Yay to representation, but it is a job, first and foremost. She just didn't do the job well.
@harvs_count THE rankings focuses on research performance (citations, funding, etc) not necessarily academic dominance but if you check out QS rankings, UP remains first in the Philippines. Each ranking system have different metrics so they differ a lot of times.
