#126 - More from Ramiele Malubay on American Idol!

[reileen]

Dude. Simon just said that she outsang everyone else in the competition in this episode. If she makes it all the way to the top, I will squee so hard that even the angels on Derris-Kharlan will lift their heads and be all like: "Bitch, what is up with that noise?"

Here's another vid which I think is from the episode prior to this one:

(Oh, Gods, please don't let her become another Jasmine Trias.)

I know it seems pretty superficial that the only reason I'm paying any attention at all to American Idol is because they've got a Filipino-American on there, but really, I just like to see someone who looks like me get the (positive!) spotlight every once in a while. You have no idea how crushed I was when I found out that Aladdin and Jasmine were technically Middle Eastern in descent, not Filipino. (In my defense, I was only a kid at the time, and I was excited to see some characters who had tan skin and black hair like I did!) In all seriousness, I'm probably not going to end up voting just out of sheer laziness, but I'll be following Ramiele along on YouTube for as long as she's in the competition.
