[edit] Personal lifeAccording to his answers to the questions in the official website of Pinoy Idol, Navarro loves to sketch, draw and to be in some games just for fun. He considers his mom to be his source of musical talent. He also said that Stevie Wonder inspires him to be more determined in his singing talent because Stevie still inspires people through music and life despite his handicap. People who stood up for what they believe in are the persons who really inspires him the most.[1] [edit] Early careerHe was once part of a singing group called the Wise Guys, but made a difficult decision to go solo, which he claims is paying off.

[edit] Unexpected eliminationAfter Raymond Gutierrez said that it was Navarro's turn to go home, everyone was disappointed. Even the judges weren't expecting that Navarro had been eliminated that early. When the bottom group was revealed (Daryl Celis, Sue Ellen and Robby Navarro), Ogie Alcasid wasn't 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 performance that is not so good. While Wyngard Tracy warned the Filipino viewers to vote objectively and don't blame them if the winner of Pinoy Idol wouldn't be deserving. Navarro, himself wasn't expecting that he'd been eliminated that early. It could not hide to his face that he was sad and he was not ready to go home, yet. Some people think that the reason behind his elimination was at the Pinoy Idol Extra wherein the subject was "Test of patience and Social Skills". Jayann Bautista was crying right after the show and saying that "We are both from Pampanga with Kid Camaya, as well. I know that he (Navarro) really wants to win and this is his last chance since he is already 28 (that time) years old. I know what he'd been through to achieve this."
