''Pinoy Idol'' was a Philippine interactive reality-based singing competition created and developed by FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment which aired on GMA Network. The program originated from ''Pop Idol'' created by British entertainment executive Simon Fuller, which seeks to discover the best singer or "idol" in the country through a series of nationwide auditions and live performances, which is determined by public voting through SMS. The show "replaced" ''Philippine Idol'', the first Idol franchise in the Philippines broadcast by the Associated Broadcasting Company in 2006. The show is hosted by Raymond Gutierrez, with Ogie Alcasid (singer, songwriter, and record producer), Jolina Magdangal (singer and actress), and Wyngard Tracy (retired talent manager) as judges.〔 〕 Danny Tan is the show's musical director. The show debuted on April 5, 2008. Gretchen Espina, daughter of Biliran governor Rogelio J. Espina, defeated two other contenders in the show's Finale to become the first Pinoy Idol. Although she is technically the second winner of an ''Idol'' franchise in the Philippines, GMA promoted ''Pinoy Idol'' as "the first ''Idol'' competition in the Philippines" and does not recognize ''Philippine Idol'' and its winner Mau Marcelo. GMA Network has reportedly decided not to produce a second season for 2009, and instead focus on another self-produced singing competition. ==Transition from ''Philippine Idol''== ABC had previously announced during an episode of ''Philippine Idol'' and a report on ABC's late night news show Sentro that they would produce a second season of the show. However, rumors began to spread that ''Philippine Idol'' would not be having its second season in 2007 as planned, while major station GMA Network was planning to acquire the ''Idol'' franchise.〔 Sources claimed that ABC incurred heavy losses in the previous season, primarily because of the low number of advertisement slots despite being a widely followed show. ABC asserted that it was still under negotiation with FremantleMedia about the second season and had earmarked ''Asian Idol'' as its "big launch", although there was a possibility that GMA was negotiating about ''Idol'' as well since the network already had local versions of ''Celebrity Duets'' and ''Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?''—both FremantleMedia franchises.〔 After several negotiations, FremantleMedia had officially decided to move and to have the second season aired on GMA Network, which premiered on April 5, 2008. FremantleMedia's representative Geraldine Bravo said that it is "very fortunate" to find a new partner, while GMA Network's Senior Vice President for Entertainment Wilma Galvante added that both parties have agreed that the network "has the experience, the resources, and the people to mount talent-search programs". ABC was reportedly sore about the deal, saying through its senior vice president for Corporate Affairs Terra Daffon that ABC was willing to buy only ''Idol'' with no other packages attached, but FremantleMedia has apparently found a better deal with GMA, "a giant" compared to their network which they described as a "Jack trying to climb the beanstalk". ABC was also saddened by rumors that GMA would relaunch the show instead of recognizing the first season and therefore not acknowledging Mau Marcelo as the first Philippine Idol. Daffon commented that GMA's move to acquire FremantleMedia programs was a complete turnaround from its previous vow not to "buy" any foreign franchise, and that it seemed set in battling rival ABS-CBN anew as the latter has franchises from Endemol. Galvante, meanwhile, countered that she will not back down from what she said that GMA will not "copy" foreign franchises completely, without making adjustments to entertain local viewers,〔 which was different from her own statement over a year before that the GMA network did not need to "buy" a foreign franchise to put up their own talent searches. Reports also said that GMA would treat ''Pinoy Idol'' as a completely different show, without referring to ''Philippine Idol'' as its "first season" and not recognizing Mau Marcelo as the "first winner".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pinoy Idol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
