ASAP '07, originally known as simply ASAP is a variety show broadcast on ABS-CBN every Sunday afternoon in the Philippines.

History

In February 1995, Eat Bulaga went to GMA 7 as 'Sang Linggo nAPO Sila transferred to Mondays to Saturdays. So ABS-CBN created their new show called ASAP. ASAP means All Star Afternoon Party and not As Soon As Possible. The original ASAP gang were Dancing Queen Dayanara Torres, OPM Hitmaker Ariel Rivera, Concert King Martin Nievera, Concert Queen Pops Fernandez and Richard Gomez. Some of the members of the original ASAP gang left the show like Richard Gomez in 2000, Dayanara Torres in 1997 and Pops Fernandez, Ariel Rivera and Martin Nievera in 2003. In 2000 and 2001, ASAP added some hosts from SOP (Sobrang Okey Pare). They were Mo Twister and Vina Morales who left SOP in January 1999 and The Hunks who consist of Piolo Pascual, Carlos Agassi, Jericho Rosales, Bernard Palanca, and Diether Ocampo. Also in 2003, ASAP reformatted to ASAP Mania until 2005. In 2003, the Soul Siren Nina joined the show who left SOP. At 2004, Concert Queen Ms. Pops Fernandez returned to the gang with Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano,Concert King Martin Nievera, Divine Diva Zsa-Zsa Padilla, Ultimate Performer Vina Morales and Pop Diva Kuh Ledesma, and the Singing Champions such as Sarah Geronimo, Christian Bautista, Erik Santos, Mark Bautista, Rachelle Ann Go, and Sheryn Regis. ASAP Mania reformatted to ASAP 05 in 2005, ASAP 06 in 2006 and ASAP 07 in 2007.

We have noticed that rachel and sarah is always in the slot but why sheryn, mark and jed and the pda only performs 1 song for all of them. Is it not so obvious to the viewers the favoritism? well, kakasawa na kasi lagi nlang mukha sarah and rachel makikita eh wala na thrilling and sana sa biritan bigyan ng tamang kanta ang may ibubuga like ni sheryn and jay-r siaboc. si piolo nman kakabahan ka pag sya na kumanta kasi obvious na trying hard and zsazsa nman di na bagay sa mga bata generation trying hard talaga lagi pa luwa ang kasuotan sagwa na di nalang mag paka simple.

ASAP Box Office

Controversies

On February 2, 2003, Regine Tolentino accused fellow dancer Angela Velez of intentionally spewing kerosene on the same stage she was to dance on after Angela did her number, making the stage extremely slippery and very difficult to perform on. As a result, she slipped, fell and tumbled so many times during her heart-pounding dance number that made her outraged. She said it was a deliberate sabotage and went on to say that she will never again dance with Angela because "she just might end up six feet under."

Angela revealed that she did spit the kerosene. Apparently, she was supposed to have a fiery entrance, but her lighter did not work so she had to get rid of the kerosene in her mouth. Word war erupts, but in the end, the two performers shook each other’s hands.
