Talentadong Pinoy


Talentadong Pinoy, also known as Bangon Talentadong Pinoy is a Philippine television reality competition show broadcast by TV5. Hosted by Ryan Agoncillo, it aired from August 16, 2008 to March 13, 2021, and was replaced by 1000 Heartbeats: Pintig Pinoy. The show it displays performances from singers, dancers, actors, musicians and comedians, to contortionists, impressionists, jugglers, ventriloquists and magicians. Contestants are allowed to perform any act they want.

Overview

The show aims to display and advance performances considered as talented by the judges. The audition process is mostly held in SM locations all over the Philippines. The judging panel is composed of "talent scouts" and the "jury".
The contestants perform on stage within 1 minute and 30 seconds. When the performers successfully do their act in that time, the bell rings, indicating that the contestant succeeded. If the talent scouts don't like the act, they simply press their respective buzzers and the curtain will be closed partially. When the contestants receive three strikes from the talent scouts, the curtain will be completely closed accompanied by the buzzer, notifying that the performer's act is terminated. Mostly seven competitors will compete if there is a defending champion; there are eight contestants if it is searching for a new defending champion. They will become the defending champion when the performer wins on the contest either by unanimous or split-decision by the jury. They must defend their title for five consecutive weeks against other performers. If they succeed in defending the title, the defending champion becomes a "Hall of Famer."
