Here are their performances and comments from judges Regine Velasquez-Alcasid, Gary Valenciano, Chito Miranda, and Moira Dela Torre. </p><div> </div><div><strong>Bryan (Akala Ko)</strong></div><div> </div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="655" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NnLy5PmVAeo" title="Bryan Chong - Akala Ko | Idol Philippines Season 2 | Top 10" width="1263"></iframe></div><div> </div><p>Bryan singing “Akala Ko” proves that contest pieces don’t necessarily have to be popular – as long as you’re performing to express than to impress. While it sounds too risky for a big competition like <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/idolphilippines2022" target="_blank"><u><strong>Idol Philippines</strong></u></a>, the dreamer from Pampanga City managed to use the song’s unpopularity to his advantage and even breathed new life into it, showcasing again his versatility. Judge Moira called him a jack of all trades while judge Regine was impressed with the altered elements of the originally ballad musical piece.  </p><div> </div><div><strong>Ann Raniel (Sa Piliping Mo)</strong></div><div> </div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="639" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yfgpYV_a_yg" title="Ann Raniel - Sa Piling Mo | Idol Philippines Season 2 | Top 10" width="1280"></iframe></div><div> </div><p>She’s glowing every week and is never scared to showcase her playful sound. Ann Raniel, giving ear to Ogie’s suggestion, turned the classic love song originally recorded by judge Regine herself into a jazzy number. How did the OG singer like it? “I’m not singing it anymore,” quipped Regine, who also noted the beautiful arrangement and little nuances in Ann Raniel’s performance. The 21-year-old hopeful maintains her rank in the second spot.   </p><div> </div><div><strong>PJ (If Only)</strong></div><div> </div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="655" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hpDQyrJoFj0" title="PJ Fabia - If Only | Idol Philippines Season 2 | Top 10" width="1263"></iframe></div><div> </div><p>From being last week’s highest scorer, PJ moved down in the ranking. Nevertheless, judge Gary praised the power and brilliance of the performance. Judge Moira admitted she wasn’t a fan before, but PJ made her realize that anything valuable is worth fighting for.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Ryssi (Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala)</strong></div><div> </div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="655" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4rpZq2O-tcQ" title="Ryssi Avila - Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala | Idol Philippines Season 2 | Top 10" width="1263"></iframe></div><div> </div><p>Mentor Ogie described Ryssi’s voice as one you’ll never get tired of listening to. Besides the talent, it’s the heart, her ability to breathe the right emotions into any song that makes her a cut above the rest, as judge Gary noted. Meanwhile, judge Chito jestingly said, “No comment.” But “no comment” means a lot. </p><div> </div><div><strong>Khimo (Kailangan Kita)</strong></div><div> </div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="655" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zD-qTBvnO5k" title="Khimo Gumatay - Kailangan Kita | Idol Philippines Season 2 | Top 10" width="1263"></iframe></div><div> </div><p>We can only imagine the pressure Khimo felt performing “Kailangan Kita” in front of judges Regine and Gary, who both had their iconic takes on the &#x27;hugot&#x27; song. Despite the jitters and complicated musical arrangement, Khimo delivered with mastery, and authenticity. As judge Gary put it, “the spirit of competition has disappeared” which worked because the Khimo we heard last Sunday sounded more true to himself and his audience.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Trisha (Ikaw Lamang)</strong></div><div> </div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="655" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SP_21f5EU9M" title="Trisha Gomez - Ikaw Lamang | Idol Philippines Season 2 | Top 10" width="1263"></iframe></div><div> </div><p>Mentor Ogie noticed Trisha isn’t comfortable belting out high notes, thus telling her to believe in herself. Nevertheless, judge Regine thought the 17-year-old hopeful defies the ordinary while judge Chito described the performance as soothing and “unsettling in a good way.”</p><div> </div><div><strong>Delly (Kung Mawawala Ka)</strong></div><div> </div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="655" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/V5xozo3MM2Q" title="Delly Cuales - Kung Mawawala Ka | Idol Philippines Season 2 | Top 10" width="1263"></iframe></div><div> </div><p>“Dagdagan mo pa ng puso,” was Ogie’s comment during their mentoring, which inspired Delly to recall a past heartbreak. However, technicality-wise, judge Regine noted the singing was quite pitchy but she enjoyed it just the same. Judge Chito seconded, “Hindi gano’n ka-perfect.”</p><div> </div><div><strong>Kice (Ikaw Sana)</strong></div><div> </div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="655" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/F9-q_Rla2qk" title="Kice - Ikaw Sana | Idol Philippines Season 2 | Top 10" width="1263"></iframe></div><div> </div><p>“I really like it. Parang gusto ko i-record mo ‘to tapos gusto kong pakinggan, eh,” Ogie commented after hearing Kice’s sample of “Ikaw Sana” during their mentoring. Equipped with unassuming charm, the 22-year-old contender refreshed the slow love song with a pop-rock vibe, so judge Regine compared him to Canadian singing sensation Justin Bieber. </p><p>Meanwhile, Misha and Nisha performed “I Will Be There” and “Ikaw Ang Pangarap,” respectively. </p><p>The competition is getting more intense.
