ABS-CBN’s Pilipinas Got Talent is literally making waves on Youtube. Jovit Baldivino’s audition just crossed the 1,000,000 mark and the other notable clips have already breached 350,000. This is a very good pick-up rate. I’ve been a fan of UK’s X-Factor and they’ve been regularly uploading clips of the show on Youtube. Most of the time the videos just register 200,000 and slowly climbs up to the 1M mark after several days or weeks.
People love watching reality talent shows on Youtube again and again. This is one of the accidental successes that ABS-CBN now has to capitalize on and learn from. X-Factor UK has their own official Youtube channel and they are fast when it comes to uploading edited clips of their shows. They shouldn’t be afraid also that the viewership on TV will be eaten up by online. People who will watch TV will watch TV. People who don’t get to watch it will search on it for Youtube. If ABS-CBN doesn’t do it, someone else will. Might as well be the beneficiary right? If ABS-CBN can harness the viewership and put it into one channel and build-up the subscription and viewership, then they have a formidable tool which they can use to later on launch other shows. This also makes online video advertising more attractive to local advertisers.
Here’s one of the more notable performances other than Jovit. It’s from a dance group called Hello World. Though it’s not mentioned in the show, I think it’s safe to assume that they got their influence from the Jabbawockeez.
Multimedia integration of TV programs will definitely be a big thing in the coming years. Let’s see who is daring and persistent enough to be the first TV station to actually make a strong integrated online TV programming platform.
It’s no wonder that Jovit Baldivino got that view count. He is being OVER promoted by abs-cbn, which shouldn’t be because he is not yet the winner, but he is being promoted like one. Other contestants aren’t being promoted by abs-cbn.
He was shown very early, assuring that he will receive a lot of views. the audition isn’t shown in the right order. the manila audition was first, but when was it shown? After the BATANGAS audition.
All these steps are making sure that abs-cbn will have a pre-cooked winner.
Using Tube thumper and Tube increaser, it is also possible to reach the 2 million view count within a month. Don’t believe the view counts.
i think its up to the people to vote…not because of abs cbn that is not the reason to convience them…if it is mean to the person to win,its their destiny…..
