Mauricio Isa na namang kakaibang experience ang inihahandog ng Celebrity Duets sa mga Kapuso viewers ngayong Sabado dahil they have decided to do a Halloween presentation. Nagmistulang costume ball ang show dahil isang gladiator, Tin Man, Victorian lady, a cute and cuddly bee at isang dashing vampire ang mapapanood natin mamaya na magpe-perform on stage para sa Celebrity Duets. But wait, siyempre hindi magpapahuli ang host na si Ms. Regine Velasquez, who was garbed in a striking princess gown, at ang tatlong judges who all came in their costumes. Direk Gina Alajar who will do a duet with Carla Abellana dressed up as a Victorian lady. "Isa akong Victorian lady from the 1800s, parang ganoon. Si Carla Abellana ang ka-duet ko," ang kwento ng natitirang lady contender sa contest who was all praises para sa ka-love team ng kanyang anak na si Geoff Eigenmann sa Rosalinda. Si Nicolo Cosme naman ay mukhang piunaghandaan ng todo ang kanyang performance at costume for tonight. "Ako si Tin Man, from the Wizard of Oz.” Inamin ni Nicolo na he is surprised na umabot siya at this stage of the contest, pero he stresses na masaya siya sa kanyang mga ginagawa sa Celebrity Duets. "Nag-e-enjoy ako, kasi this is something I look forward to, kasi I get to dress up. Tinodo ko na talaga this time. Actually mainit talaga itong costume, hindi siya ganun ka-comfortable. 'Yung make-up, air brushed siya pero hindi naman siya makati." Samantala marami naman ang na-amaze sa entrepreneur na si Joel Cruz. Very noticeable kasi ang pagbabago ng performances niya these past few weeks. Even the Celebrity Duets season one champion-turned-judge, na si Ms. Tessa Prieto-Valdes said noong last performance niya na: "You began the competition na pare-parehong porma lang, ngayon, over naman! Pero okay naman, keep it up! Keep it up!" And for this week, iba na naman ang pakulo ni Joel. "I am a bee now, hindi ako jolly bee ha (laughs). Medyo mahirap itong suot namin may headset, may something na matigas sa ulo, hindi simpleng damit lang. Kailangan talagang mag-effort, you have to sing, you have to dance, you have to perform very well dahil buong Pilipinas nanonood sa iyo. Mahirap, hindi madali yung ganito." As for Akihiro Sato, tiyak na maraming matutuwa dahil at last isang sexy outfit ang suot ng Kapuso hunk na ito. "This is a Spartan costume, a gladiator. Gusto ko kasi yung 300 the movie, at saka 'yung Gladiator. They are my favorite. Si Luke Mijares 'yung ka-duet," ang kuwento ng Brazilian-Japanese model/actor. Meanwhile ang actor/producer na si Jomari Yllana looked very commanding at dashing sa kanyang vampire costume. "Actually 'yung staff ang nag-suggest na mag-Dracula ako. I liked the idea," ang matipid na sagot ni Jomari. But don't be fooled dahil siguradong isa na namang explosive performance ang tiyak na inihanda ni Jomari para sa mga manonood. Mayroon pa siyang special guest, his son, Andre. Kaya don't dare miss this colorful and thrilling episode of Celebrity Duets, dito lang sa GMA, every Saturday, pagkatapos ng Pinoy Records.
