A Filipino Did It Again! Yayyyyy!!! :)

I don't know about you, but I'm a big fan of American Idol. My eyes and ears are glued to the tv screen whenever the show comes on. I love singing. Perhaps, it is one of the few regrets in my life is why I didn't become a professional singer. LOL, just kidding.

Some of you may not know that I'm 100% Filipino (although I'm already an American citizen). So everytime a Filipino talent gets recognized here in America, I am going to talk about it. Anways, on Season 3, Jasmine Trias, a Filipino-American from Hawaii made it to the Top 3. Now another Fil-Am talent named Ramiele Malubay, featured here in this video, made it to the Top 24! Yayyy!! I was very excited to see another Filipino talent on board American Idol this season. Not that I would promote her just because she's Filipino but man, she has real talent! Even the over-critical Simon Cowell raved about her performance last night. So watch for her...she might be the next American Idol, so please vote for her! :)

I was also surprised to know she's from Miramar, Florida-- which is a neighbor little city/town next to where we live before in Davie, Florida. :)

Here's a short bio on Ramiele Malubay:

Age: 20
Hometown: Miramar, FL
Favorite Quote: "If you're hated, you're doing something right."
Audition City: Miami
Musical Influences: My musical influences would be Aretha Franklin, Jackson 5, Mariah Carey, Lani Misalocha, and Regine Velasquez. (The last two song artists she mentioned are both world-famous Filipino talents as well).
