Richard Reynoso urges shows to feature better talents



Balladeer Richard Reynoso has urged pageant shows to feature better talents during production numbers so that they will not disappoint the viewers.

Reynoso made the reaction after he felt disappointed with the performance of young actor Daniel Padilla who serenaded the candidates of the Bb Pilipinas 2017 beauty contest during grand coronation held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City last April 30.

"Halehalehoys!!! Iba na talaga ang panahon ngayon. Dati, pag kumakanta ka sa 'beauty pageant', hinaharana mo yung mga kandidata and make them feel na sila ang pinakamagandang babae at that very moment. Ngayon, mukhang backdrop na lang ang mga kandidata at di na din yata required na nasa tono ka sa pagkanta. Nuba?!" said Reynoso in a comment posted on Facebook.

At the finals, Padilla even wore dark glasses as he sang "The Way You Look Tonight."


Popular film critic Mario Hernando commented on Reynoso's FB post, saying that Padilla "should remove those colored glasses and move with finesse."

"He is a big star in his own right and should stop emulating his action star uncle," said Hernando.

Known for his hit OPM songs "Hindi Ko Kaya" and "Paminsan-Minsan," Reynoso agreed with Hernando.

"I totally agree, Mario. Even his uncle, who is a good friend would have much respect for the event. I felt so disrespected and dismayed because I used to do that during Direk Fritz's time and had to study and prepare for such an event kundi maliligo ka ng mura mula kay Direk," Reynoso said.

"Meron pa naman sigurong ibang talent sila dun na pwedeng kunin na kahit paano mailulusot yung production number. Kaya naman siguro yun kung pinaghandaan lang," he said.


Reynoso, 47, said that he has judged and even performed in beauty pageants many times in the past.

"I've done a lot of those in my career. Had my time under Direk Fritz Ynfante. There are younger and still capable people who can do that with justification. Last night was a huge disappointment talaga," he said.

Reynoso said: Gone are the days when we used to work so hard to give a memorable performance. Ngayon, bara-bara na lang," - ROBERT REQUINTINA
