The New AI.. DAVID!

As early as 10am today, I already knew that David Cook won. After watching their performances last night and hearing what the judges had to say, I have to admit that the result was unexpected. But I wasn't disappointed either. I thought I'd be since I've been blogging about how I wanted David Archuleta to win, but surpirsingly I wasn't. I know both of them will go far after AI. I realized earlier as well after watching their skit with Mike Myers that between the two, David Cook had more personality. All David Archuleta did was smile and throw in some lines. But he's still uber cute. And both of them got new cars!

Simon did it again. He apologized once before to Katharine McPhee after his negative performance on her I Have Nothing. He apologized to David Cook for being rude to him last night. Nice..Ü

Carly and Michael Johns' performance earlier was amazing! Most of them were lucky enough to be able to sing with top artists like Seal, George Michael and Donna Summer. I thought Amanda was a bore. She looked like she wasn't happy about being part of the finale show. I thought the whole show was a blast. And Carrie Underwood definitely stole the show. She was fantastic! Gotta go, last day of training then we're off to nesting.Ü

DAVID.syesha.DAVID

The result for tomorrow is pretty obvious. It'd be the 2 David's facing each other in the finals. I didn't like any of their performances tonight mostly because I'm not familiar with some of the songs. But I love love love the song choice of David Cook, I Dare You To Move. I used to listen to that song almost every day before I go to sleep, hehehehe.Ü I have to agree with Simon though, David Archuleta looks funny when he dances. Ewww.. So gay. But he's not. Bleh!

Another 9 hours of training. I can't wait to get over with it and go straight to the real work. I wonder what my former GR officemates are doing now. I know one had started working already. Well, I can only hope all is fine with them too. I miss them sooo much. =(

Poor David..

AP Source: David Archuleta's dad loses 'Idol' backstage pass

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Backstage meddling has caught up "American Idol" favorite David Archuleta's dad, who's been banned from rehearsals, a person working for the TV talent contest said Friday.

Jeff Archuleta was told this week by producers that he can no longer join his 17-year-old son David as he prepares for the show, the person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press. The person wasn't authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The show's action was first reported Friday by the online Web site TMZ.

David Archuleta of Murray, Utah, is one of three contestants left as the top-rated Fox show heads toward the May 20-21 finale. The fresh-faced teenager with the big voice has consistently been deemed a front-runner by the judges and been a consistent fan favorite.

Jeff Archuleta's intense backstage involvement had become a source of concern for the series, the person connected with "American Idol" said — but it was a lyric change on Tuesday's show that pushed producers to act.
Despite a warning, Jeff Archuleta insisted on altering "Stand by Me," one of two songs his son sang on the show Tuesday. By adding a verse from Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girls," the father incurred additional costs for "American Idol," the person said.

Fox declined comment. Attempts to reach Jeff Archuleta for comment were unsuccessful. A phone number listed under his name in Murray, Utah, was no longer in service, and Fox did not immediately respond to a request Friday evening for help in contacting the family.

Earlier Friday, David Archuleta was honored at a hometown celebration held at his high school in Murray, during which Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman declared "David Archuleta Day."

The singer and his family declined to be interviewed at the event, but David Archuleta did speak with the Salt Lake City Fox affiliate, KSTU-TV. "Wow," he exclaimed as he viewed the cheerleading squad outside his stretch limousine.

The other finalists left in competition for the "Idol" title and a record contract are David Cook and Syesha Mercado. Cook, a native of suburban Blue Springs, Mo., had his own homecoming celebration Friday in Kansas City, while Mercado was feted Bradenton, Fla.

---> Poor David.. Anyway, HAPPY MOTHER's DAY!!!

Dread No More!

He's out! Jason Castro said bye-bye to American Idol. Ryan Seacrest said there's about a million difference of votes per contestant and I'm pretty sure David Archuleta led the pack. I still believe though that David Cook might steal the top spot with 2 more weeks to go.

Information overload. That has always been the case with me whenever I go on training. Three days into product specific and I'm about to throw up. The only good thing is now I understand why no matter how religiously I pay off my credit cards, the balance seems to stay almost the same. Fuckin' fees and how the payment is distributed on it first instead of the balance. No wonder the financial industry is booming. Sigh. I have to get rid of them ASAP!

HOME

So Close..

Four left and one to go tomorrow. I'm so happy David Archuleta beat all of 'em tonight when I thought David Cook will rule this week since it's rock and roll. Jason has to go! He's getting boring each week. I loved li'l David's Stand By Me!!!

HOME

Bye Bye Brooke! =(

I started training with my new company last Monday and I kinda felt bad I wasn't able to watch the satellite telecast of AI. I was able to watch the replay last night at 11:30 and I really thought Jason or Syesha will be kicked out tonight. Too bad Brooke had to leave. I wanted Jason to get the boot because he was really getting boring. Anyway, what's done is done. Hopefully next week he leaves.

HOME

Disgusting!

So Carly is out. Next week, it'd probably be Syesha. As the judges have said, it's not that they have poor performances but they don't have enough fans to support them. No worries for both David's. The screaming fans in the studio is enough to know that they have enough people to vote for them until the finals.

Just this afternoon, I finally had the guts to watch the controversial rectum surgery scandal video in YouTube. DISGUSTING! I'm not really sure what actions were taken but I hope those doctors be suspended or something. Regardless of why the canister was there, they shouldn't have video taped it for fun, worse reproduced and broadcasted. Now the world is laughing at us. Ugh!

HOME

Will It Be Jason or Brooke?

I think David Archuleta's version of Think Of Me was cool. Not because I like him and he's my bet but because I never really liked that song until now. David Cook looked very hot, Syesha was fantastic, I didn't like Carly's performance because she was screaming for the most part of it. Jason? I dunno, my grandmama would sing that song to me everyday when I was young and she would sing that in the typical old lady voice so regardless of how people sing Memory, I'll still love it. Brooke White did it again. She had the same mistake of stopping then starting again when she sang Every Breath You Take. I think it'd be her or Jason who'll be eliminated. But I hope it's Carly. Here's my langga, hehehehe..Ü

HOME

God Bless America!!!

Finally!!! She's down! The nerve of that bitch to cry as if she doesn't deserve to be voted out. Now, we don't have to tolerate mediocrity on the performances.. Not that there won't be bad performances anymore but at least, the contestants left are worth watching. I'm just overwhelmed that she's out! Weepee!!! And it was touching to see Brooke defend the bitch. She's really a sweetie. David Archuleta looked very cute when he sat on the floor. And David Cook was even adorable when he sat next to my langga. Aaawwww..

Goosebumps My Ass!

Goosebumps?! WTF was Mariah Carey thinking when she made Kristy Lee feel like she owned the song?! She might have sang that song better than the other songs she murdered but the sight of her annoys the hell out of me! After tonight's performance, looks like Carly, Syesha or Brooke's goin' home - if VoteForTheWorst continues to support that bitch. I hope not. They're waaay better that her. Like travelling barefoot from Cebu to Bacolod. David Cook was amazing! OMG, I wanna melt hearing him belt out a half mellow, half upbeat song. I got like 10 text messages telling me they're in-love with him. Talia texted me, "It's official, David Cook and I are getting married. You're one of the bridesmaids.." However, my heart will always belong to David Archuleta. I almost cried when I missed his performance on the replay. Thank you YouTube!!!

HOME

F*ck You Kristy Lee!

When will America f*ckin' vote Kristy Lee out of American Idol?! I mean, I know Michael Johns won't win but I just can't stand seeing Kristy Lee anymore. I wanna hit the mute button everytime I see her mouth open! Watch this video and believe me, I know she's the one singing off-key - listen carefully.. it stands out. Bitch! Bitch! Bitch!

Fool's Gold Meets The Spartans

Meet The Spartans
Some parts were really funny, but others are a little bit exaggerated. Kinda like the Date Movie. The Paula Abdul impersonator was hilarious! And the Spartan greeting was sooo funny! If you're bored, then this is a good film to watch.

Fool's Gold
I think this was a li'l similar to Into The Blue but it was nice nevertheless. Matthew McConaughey was uber hot. Gosh, that body!

David Archuleta rocked tonight with his soulful rendition of Angels by Robbie Williams. I love him!!!

MaluBYE

We said bye-bye to Malubay last Thursday. She shouldn't be sad. She can come to the Philippines anytime and be assured of stardom. I'm sure ABS-CBN and GMA are now doing all they can to get in touch with her. I hope Kristy Lee gets the boot next week. I pity Syesha, she sings better than Carly, IMHO. But she doesn't have a fan base and the judges doesn't like her very much. I think the two David will face each other in the finals. And I hope the young one wins..

Last Thursday, Ryan and I met for coffee to talk about the "what-went-wrong" episode of GR, the company that breeds gluttony. We met some of the old TRONies and most of them had "nanambok ka!" greeting and we can only say, "both of us are unemployed too!" We visited Bay 2 and it was depressing to see our old stations now empty. Sigh.

Yesterday, I started my room make-over project. I covered the room with a nice wall paper, changed the flooring and added colorful accents [I'll upload the before and after pics when I'm done, hehehehe]. Being busy with this project keeps me sane and makes me stay away from self-pity, LOL! Gotta go, another interview...

HOME

Hopefully, hopefully..

Chikezie is out. He's second on my not-so-fave list next to Kristy Lee. Hopefully, hopefully.. she's next.

American Idol - Vote For the Worst Supports Kristy Lee Cook

Vote For The Worst has thrown its support toward country cutie, Kristy Lee Cook. I actually think she has potential if she can sing ANYTHING other than country. This isn't Nashville Star, show some versatility!

HOME

DoneDeal.com

I can't pick one particular performance last night. More than anything, I hated the fact that Kristy Lee got good feedback from no less than Simon. Ugh! I wanted her out but I think she's gonna stay another week after last night. David Cook seems to be climbing the top spot from out of nowhere. My langga David Archuleta? I can't agree more with Paula when she said "you can sing the phonebook and we'll love it."

After eight months of trying to see if things would change for the better, I finally decided it's time to walk away. I'm not bitter, I'm not angry, and most importantly I don't regret a single thing thru the whole experience. If anything, it's gladness for all the things I've learned and the chance to meet people who has touched my life. I don't want to sound melodramatic 'coz it was my choice, well.. our choice. So to all the people who have something to say to us or about us.. save it. We're more than aware that you're laughing behind our backs. It ended in a good way and we're all happy. I wonder which is more appropriate to say.. NEXT? It's a DONEDEAL.com? I dunno bro!

Gotta go.. I only have 30 minutes left before AI starts. Later!

$%^I()(*&^%$#$%^&*()(*&^%$#$%^&*

What are they keeping her for?! I was feeling positive to see that for the second consecutive week, Kristy Lee is in the bottom 3 [expected though]. Imagine my horror when it was announced that again.. she's safe. OMG! I mean, Amanda's definitely not one of the most likely to win but between her and Kristy, I'd choose Amanda in a heartbeat. And the nerve for her to say that last night was her best performance! She murdered the song! What does it take to kick her out of the game?! Aaarrrggghhh!!! $%^I()(*&^%$#$%^&*()(*&^%$#$%^&*

HOME

Give Her The Boot!

America, I'm begging you.. Give Kristy Lee the boot! I don't really understand why she's still in the competition! I hate her!

After seeing Malubay perform tonight, I finally realized who she reminds me of. The pout, the sweet "okay", the short legs and the range of her voice.. Manilyn Reynes! Hahahahaha! Maybe it's just me but I think they have a lot of similarities.

Syesha's rendition of Yesterday gave me goosebumps. I think it was an amazing performance.

David Archuleta is back! He sang The Long and Winding Road. I loved that song 'coz my dad is a Beatles fan and I grew up listening to him sing their songs (he's got a nice voice too Ü). Here's the video.

Danny Meets Ellen

Two of my fave gay celebrities met. Nice! Too bad we won't be getting the chance to hear him more. Maybe we will.. but not in a competitive way.

David Archuleta news: Was there more than just nerves behind 17-year-old DAVID ARCHULETA's shaky performance on last night's "American Idol"? The early favorite was definitely off his game and even forgot several lines during his version of THE BEATLES' "We Can Work It Out." Sources are telling ET the singer may be feeling the pressure from his "stage father" JEFF ARCHULETA, who reportedly yelled at David during a recording session Monday. Sources say Dad wasn't happy with his son's singing -- and even brought him to tears. Neither Jeff nor reps for "American Idol" would comment on the alleged incident.

Poor baby.. =(

HOME

I Was Right.. Again!

I did say either Kristy Lee or David Hernandez would be sent home tonight. I was right! They were the bottom 2 and I think David should have been given a chance. But for the same reason that Asia'h was sent home over her, she's pretty. Like honestly, I've seen quite a lot of people who auditioned in AI that sounds just like Leann Rimes. She doesn't bring anything new to the table. She should be eliminated next week!

Danny Norriega was wearing the R. Malubay shirt next to the daddy. Awww, how sweet and supportive.

Not His Cup Of Tea

David Archuleta's performance last night was criticized. =(

He admitted that the Lennon and McCartney songs are not his cup of tea and he forgot some of the lyrics. Unfortunately for those who wants him out of the competition, he's very popular and have legions of fans so without a doubt, we'll still see him next week. It was just frustrating to see him like that. Brooke White was amazing! She's very pretty, sexy and above all, talented. I think Kristy Lee will be sent home later. Her or David Hernandez.

I loved the new stage and the new opening-credits sequence! Kat McPhee will be performing tonight. Weepee!
