Dark Days for American Idol

Blake Lewis keeps everybody guessing every time he appears on the American Idol stage. Lewis wows everybody with his range and uniqueness.

America has no talent in selecting the talented people in singing competition!

This view was eminent when Nick Pedro and AJ Tabaldo were booted out of the "American Idol" weeks ago. They opted to retain Sanjaya Malakar in the contest. O my Lord God of mercy! Okay let us compare Sanjaya to Nick: pitch-wise, Nick has the soul than the 17-year-old Indian kid; appeal, Nick is way too digestible. And AJ is way more talented than most of the contestants. His performances were STELLAR! And I am not saying this because AJ is part Filipino. I mean, what is going on? America has no taste! I am not a racist, excuse me. I am man of color and am just expressing my opinion. Paula was right when she said that America made a "mistake." It's a singing competition. My God, most of the contestants won't survive in the Philippines. Nunka! Let them learn from the Filipinos on how to select people with talent! TALENT!

The voting should be part from the judges and part from the voting public.


Anyway, here's my personal forecast as to who will end up in the final four:

1. Blake Lewis
2. Melinda Dolittle
3. Chris Richardson
4. Stephanie Edwards

The rest? Just give them a recording contract and let them do whatever they want to do in life. Just stay out of the competition.

Lakisha Jones? When Simon said she nailed the song "And I am telling you" I almost fell from my chair! Goodness! That song has been used SUCCESSFULLY by Filipinos decades ago in singing competitions. It was popularized by Regine Velasquez when she made it her contest piece for the Asian Songfest long long before Jennifer Hudson came into the limelight. O my God, I need to get some pills. Help! This is all crazy!

BUT GOOD LUCK TO BLAKE AND MELINDA!
