Q: ‘How are the live auditions going so far?”

RAIMS: “So far, so good”.

Q: “What are your impressions of the applicants who’ve made it the live auditions?”

RAIMS: “Mas, impressive.. kasi nasa harap mo na, di mo masyandong ma-judge sa video or sa internet, or kung yrics lang. Yung iba magling sa melody, yung iba mas magaling magsulat, parang siguro 98% it tungkol sa love. Gusto ko pa rin na makahanap na isang applicant na magugulat kaming tatlong screeners”. 

Q: “What’s the difference in seeing them live and just hearing them?”

RAIMS: “Well... makakausap mo sila, makikita mo kung saan sila nanggagaling, malalaman mo yung commitment nila. Pagnakita mo yung lyrics sheet nila, makikita mo yung effort nila in preparing for the auditions.”

Q: “Message for all those who want to apply?”

RAIMS: “For those who want to apply, come prepared. At least tune you guitars, remember the words, and take it seriously. Kay Ryan Cayabyab ito eh and it’s going to be amazing. Kung di ka seryoso, ramdam rin namin yun diba? Come prepared. Guns blazing. We want to get destroyed. We’re really looking for new talent and serious applicants.”
