A wise judge said, “I like your voice.”
The tweet was directed at James Reid. The tweet was taken down, but tweets related to the singers’ shaming against James Reid caused both negative and positive responses, “all these butthurt fans OVER REACTING to my opinion on something saying im just bandwagonning and all like i don’t get it. when should i share my opinion like 3 years before something happens para di masabihang nakikisabay”? kitid daw ng utak ko wew kakahiya naman po sa inyo”
“mabait ang tahimik, masama ang maingay. that’s their logic. pathetic.”

‘Idol Philippines’ judge James Reid already commented on this matter.
“Like I said, Luke Baylon is a good singer but we’re looking for the total package. Wait till you see the 12 finalists. You’ll see why I said he wasn’t ready. For now, I wish Luke all the success is his music career. That rendition of If I Ain’t Got You was sick 🔥”

“You have no idea how hard it is to crush peoples dreams right in front of them. That’s the burden we carry as judges to try and give one special person a chance of a lifetime. Just wait. The auditions isn’t even the hardest part. #IdolPhilippines”
