Vice Ganda Is No American Idol

In a move sure to redefine global entertainment standards, ABS-CBN has announced the export of its wildly original TV show, “Everybody Sing,” hosted by the inimitable Vice Ganda.

This groundbreaking program, which bravely mimics the American hit “Don’t Forget the Lyrics!”, invites contestants to display their lyrical prowess for a chance to win… well, something far less than $1 million.

While America and Britain export cultural behemoths like “American Idol” and “Britain’s Got Talent,” the Philippines graciously offers its homespun tribute act. Surely, global audiences will be spellbound by this karaoke-like contest.

But let’s be honest—perhaps the country would be better off shipping out its exquisite capiz shell crafts or mouthwatering canned adobo instead. These unique cultural exports are far more likely to capture the world’s imagination and showcase the true richness of Filipino heritage, rather than a karaoke night in TV form.
