david-foster-gerphil-flores05/15/2015 – Manila | Gerphil fans don’t lose your hope. The believers  of the “Golden Girl” should not be sad because she has a brighter future. El Gamma Penumbra for several reasons deserves to win but the future is leaning toward Gerphil Geraldine Flores, the classical-cross-over singer who captured the hearts of many fans.

El Gamma Penumbra has reached their ceiling while Gerphil is just starting. The big question for the shadow dancers now is, “What’s next?”

The Philippines has two grand finals winners. El gamma Penumbra is today’s winner, while Gerphil Flores is the winner of the future. There is a reason why the prize money was given to El Gamma Penumbra. They did their best and could be their last chance to join in a major competition like AGT so they deserve it. I don’t think there is any other talent competition bigger than AGT where they can again showcase their talent. I don’t know the rules of the franchise but I think they cannot join Britain’s Got Talent. In a different perspective, it’s sad to say that their future is limited.

What’s next for Gerphil Geraldine Flores?

Gerphil fell short not because she lacks talent, but because more people like to watch dramatic and emotional acts than singing. With equal-quality talents, groups always wins the competition because the people and the judges always favor the group effort.

The top two winners are not singers so Gerphil Flores is undeniably the best singing act in that competition.

Flores was already a winner the moment she entered on that stage. In her second performance during the semi-finals, David Foster caught her interest. On her finals performance, he made her a promise. Report also said that Foster talked to her privately after the show.

A label contract is more than winning the $100,000 prize.

Let’s take a look at several contestants who became successful in their music career despite not winning the grand finals on Britain’s Got Talent and other major competitions.

Connie Talbot finished runner up on Season 1 of Britain’s Got Talent. Talbot first album was certified Gold and Platinum in different countries giving her millions of dollars in sales and tours.

Andrew Johnston finished third behind street dancer George Sampson and dance group “Signature”. Johnston’s first album was certified Gold.

Opera duo Jonathan and Charlotte finished 3rd behind dog dancing act “Ashley and Pudsey”, and male voice choir “Only Voice Aloud” . The duo’s first album was certified gold and charted 5th in UK Billboard.

Similar to El Gamma Penumbra, Hungarian shadow dance group “Attraction” won the 7th series of Britain’s Got Talent, but opera brothers Richard and Adam sold more albums and earn more money after the show. The brothers finished third behind the shadow dancers and comedian Jack Caroll.

Other successful singers/songwriters who did not win the grand finals in any major contests are Janet Devlin, Ella Henderson, Bars and Melody, and Gabz Gardiner.

Gerphil can be one of them if David Foster put his promise into reality. “I promise you, I promise you, the world is going to know about you. That’s a promise”.

Asia’s Got Talent is watched by millions of people around the world and I am not surprised if Gerphil receive some offers from other producers.

The Philippines is a country with tons of talents and can speak English (the biggest advantage we have against other Asian countries). I am not surprised as well if the next winners on the next seasons of AGT will be coming from this country again.

Congratulations to El Gamma Penumbra, Khusugtun (It was privilege to watch these guys), Gerphil Geraldine Flores, and to all other contestants. That was a heck of a competition. The biggest winners are the fans!
