Only six remain as Apple falls off Idol tree

In yet another Philippine Idol elimination that left many Idols fans frustrated and almost all Idol finalists in tears, rich-voiced Philippine Idol finalist Apple Chiu was voted off last night after receiving universal praise from the judges two nights before with a phenomenal performance of Labelle's Lady Marmalade.

It was Chiu's second time in a Philippine Idol bottom three, having received the third-lowest number of votes to Jeli Mateo and Arms Cruz last week.

With Chiu in the Philippine Idolbottom two was Baguio bet Ken Dingle, who sashayed his way through Stevie Wonder's Signed Sealed Delivered. Narrowly avoiding the bottom two was Pow Chavez, who delivered a by-the-numbers performance of Cheryl Lynn's Got to Be Real.
