Top 14 Penelope sings "Papa can you hear me?" by Barbara Streisand
Papa can you hear me mp3
click here to download
Let me comment to Penelope’s performance to her song “Papa can you hear me”. This would be the weakest performance she gave to us so far. But while listening to her she indeed gave me goose bumps and it’s a sign for me that she’s really a very good singer. Though there are some parts were flat like the judges said. But hey guys if you gonna take a good look to the judges faces and at the same time to the audience while Penny is singing its like they really feel the song and they were into it. I just wonder why the three judges all agreed that it wasn’t a good performance from her, I guess they were all expecting big from Penelope. But choosing that song was truly a challenge from her coz it was a tough song to sing. What if the other girls chose it, do you think they could deliver it well, like Penny did.
She's still the best for me, and she's gonna WIN!

Penelope singing "Alone" with her friend Guilbert on piano. I remember Ramiel Malubay when i first saw this video. Malubay sang "Alone" in American Idol on Top 10 Night with the theme "song from their birth year". I would love to see Penelope to sing this song on Pinoy Idol too. Penelope look so young here, she look a bit mature now on Pinoy Idol.. Blame their make up artist/stylist. LOL!
