Protégé second elimination night

MANILA, Philippines - The big twist is happening tonight on GMA 7’s Protégé as nine music acts continue with their battle for the big break.

For the first time, the protégés will get song assignments from other mentors. It‘s a challenge that may make or break their status in the competition. As the battle intensifies, protégés are caught in the web of intrigue that started growing at the beginning of this week of the second elimination night.

Samantha, Joey G's protégé, blurted no-holds-barred comments about Denise, Gloc 9's protégé. The Urban Pop Gurl from Pangasinan said that Denise should have been the one who got eliminated because she is the weakest among all contestants. It started a furious exchange of words among the singers. Rey Valera's protégé, Janina, Jay-R's protégé, Kenneth and Claire's protégé, Jensen got tangled up in this word war.

Meanwhile, the Bibong Showstopper from Cebu, Nomer pleaded to have his song changed because he is not familiar with what Mentor Janno assigned to him. In the end, Nomer opted to sing the same song under the guidance of Mentor Rachelle. Also, one of Lovely's birthday wishes came true: To see her father. On her 13th birthday celebration, she was surprised with her father's appearance. Seeing him face to face for the very first time was one unparalleled happy moment for the Singing Cinderella from Davao.

Aiza's protégé, R&B Sistah Krizza, was touched by the reunion of a father and a daughter that she witnessed. Like Lovely, Krizza is also hoping that one day she will spend good times with her dad.

Another mentor-protégé tandem will be booted out of the competition based on the combined votes of the audience and judges scores.

The live gala airs after Kap's Amazing Stories and the results show happens after Sanib-Pwersa.
