Last May 28 to 29, 2011, the fifth set of semi-finalists compete in a live performance of Pilipinas Got Talent. This batch is definitely the best in terms of having their star factor and personality.

Jacqueline Schubert, the singing beauty queen from Cebu performed "Crazy in Love" by Beyonce. The German-Filipino beauty queen selected a good song choice, very good packaging especially her beautiful face and she did a good job in singing an upbeat song. However, her performance is like singing in a karaoke bar. Therefore, she has a future in other beauty pageants or modelling industry. 

We also have the funny dance troupe from Dumaguete, the Karinyoso Boys did one of the coolest performances of the season. They have a very good song selection that jives with their choreography. They were charming comedians and dancers.

Kenny Padalla, the singing heartthrob of Baguio City proves that he is not just good-looking and handsome but he has the singing talent. He has a wide range of vocals and his style is contemporary especially in pop music. He needs to practice on how to reach higher notes while singing. He is cute, handsome and got the packaging of a star and he has the heart while performing.and definitely, he deserves to have a break in show business. He performed Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey's "When You Believe." 

Ariana from the Bourbon Duo did an exceptional act in pole dancing. The dance routine was very clean and flawless. Her sexiness matches her balancing skills and the gracefulness in pole dancing. It was a breathtaking and amazing performance.

The cute singing divas from Bacolod, DJP Trio shown their confidence and unity in singing. The young singing trio have their angelic and harmonized blending of voices in their performance of "One Night Only" from the Dreamgirls soundtrack. 

The closing act of the night was Buildex Pagales who performed "Marry You" by Bruno Mars. He has a very good vocals, guitar playing skills and contemporary music style. His vocals is on the mainstream which is similar to Jason Mraz and Bruno Mars. He is definitely deserving to have an album because of his overwhelming entertainment value and he will be the next acoustic singing sensation in the country.

DJP Trio got the highest number of votes and got the ninth slot in the grand finals and Buildex Pagales won the judges vote over third placer Kenny Padalla. Next week, the last batch of semi-finalists will compete on the live performance night of Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2. Will another singing trio made it to the finals which is Joy's Diva?
