Showtime rocks

A dance group from General Santos City in Mindanao became the first to win in the grand finals of Showtime, the most popular show on Philippine television today.

The XB Gen San, a came from behind winner, was ecstatic as they saw the multiples of ten the judges gave them. They lost once in the show, but was called back. In their second showing, the group got the judges' nod. Eventually, they surpassed the weekly and monthly finals.

They were highly and technically proficient. What really got the judges' nod was the sheer intensity of their act. The grit was there. The emotions were evident and the crowd felt it and loved it.

In truth, the Philippine Island Assassins were more skilful than the group, but the assassins were copycats. Their costumes were foreign, while those of XB Gen San, plus their music was truly Filipino.

With that, they got the roaring approbation of the crowd and the judges.

I commend the entire Showtime crew for a job well done. We expect more excitement in your second season. Showtime rocks!
