Do we really need more Wanlu's on TV? It seems that people who call themselves magicians can't get over Wanlu's spotlight, thanks to Talentadong Pinoy, that everyone wants to duplicate his success through a ventriloquism routine. Result: some half-baked act, with a half-witted script for a half-brained performer trying to be another Wanlu in the making.
Come on guys! Wanlu made it this far not because he can hold a puppet and make it appear like his puppet is talking. His routine was a hit because a) not so many vent acts are seen on TV today, b) he has the right attitude for the act he does, and c) his script was quite good. I turn my TV on and see another vent act on channel 2, then change channel and see yet another vent act on 7. Is this becoming a fad for local magicians then? Much like the craze that pearl shake made. I just hope that next time I see another brain fart ventriloquism act on TV, it would be more than like seeing Glenn Quagmire and his larger than life sex doll.
