2008: Pinoy Idol Navarro auditioned in Angeles City. He was chosen to be in the Top 24 and eventually making it to Top 12.

After Raymond Gutierrez said that it was Navarro's turn to go home, everyone was disappointed. Even the judges were not expecting that Robby had been eliminated that early.

When the bottom group was revealed (Daryl Celis, Sue Ellen and Robby Navarro), Ogie Alcasid was not expecting that Navarro would be in the bottom three, knowing that Navarro is one of the better singers in that competition. Adding to that, Jolina Magdangal said that it's not worth it to be included in a bottom group after a one npt-so-good performance. While Wyngard Tracy warned the Filipino viewers to vote objectively and do not blame them if the winner of Pinoy Idol would not be deserving.
