First and foremost, no Gerard Salonga?!?!?!?! Anyways, the showstopper performances were delivered by Laarni, Liezel, and Poy. It was smart to have the three ladies as the last performers because the previous performances were so lackluster.
Bunny (SATISFACTION) vs Cris (IT'S RAINING MEN): Neither performance was impressive. Forgettable.
Sen (BAILAMOS) vs Van (THROUGH THE FIRE): Both were poor performances with Sen doing worse. He mumbled or forgot the lyrics.
Miguel (WHEN DOVES CRY) vs Inaki (I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE): I admit that Miguel has better vocals but he's so boring especially coupled with a simple song. Inaki sounds better this time and has a more exciting performance.
Bugoy (NAKAPAGTATAKA) vs Apple (WE ARE A FAMILY): Bugoy's simple but heartfelt performance was much better. Apple's outfit was too distracting but she had an okay performance.
Laarni (DI KO KAYANG TANGGAPIN) vs Liezel (LISTEN): Damn! Laarni has so much presence on stage and did really well except for the very last note. Liezel's performance was seemingly perfect but I was bored. It felt like she was adlibbing on the showstopping parts of the song. Again, another safe performance.
Poy (FREE YOUR MIND): She's a very good contender against Laarni and Liezel because she has the voice. She has so much more presence compared to Liezel.
Poy vs Laarni (AND I'M TELLING YOU): Double damn!!! Very nice duet. Laarni's confidence exceeded Poy that I barely noticed Poy even if it was her turn to sing.
Star scholar: Liezel (yawn)
Probationary scholars (highest to lowest grade): Laarni, Miguel, Apple, Van, and Bunny
I'm not surprised at all about the list of probationary scholars except for Van. I'm really shocked though that Bunny was the one saved by the mentors. I would have accepted it if one of the other four were saved by the mentors, but Bunny??? I guess the Poy vs Laarni segment had no bearing at all. Van was saved by the other scholars which isn't all that surprising. If Laarni leaves next week, the show would be so boring and predictable. Imagine, Liezel and Bugoy against the rest of the so-so scholars.
In conclusion, 7th Gala Night = mediocrity is a-okay.

Interview of the creators by IGN at Comic Con:
I agree with Sam Raimi, the love story in the books is the one thing that kept me reading.

Mica 3 Chu is an interesting collaboration of Mika Nakashima and comedic group Morisanchu. The first track of the upcoming single (July 23) sounds familiar somehow. It feels like '80s rock or something. The song is in English but there are parts that I just can't make out even after repeated listening.The video is surprising but in a good way. Mika as NANA is cool but this Mica is kinda scary. She has a different projection in this video when compared to her NANA persona. Mica seems to exude more attitude and rebelliousness, case in point

Now I can't wait to hear what SHUT UP sounds like. I wonder if they will promote this single in music shows dressed just like this and in character...
