American Idol The New Season 7 Starts.

In a few days time Jan 16th Season 7 of American Idol starts as you can see from above me and Matt have decided to be contestants :-) I think one of us would have won it this year if it wasn't for the fact that nether of us are American!

Oh well guess its back to singing in the shower, looking forward to the new season I think the episodes at the start of the season with the auditions are the best ones you always get some of the weirdest people in the whole of the US that are completely tone deaf with some strange delusion that they are superstars.


For those of you that watched last years Season I sure you remember Jordin Sparks the winner of last years season she seemed very sweet and had a great voice, just a shame her album wasn't quite as good as she was on the show.






And Blake Lewis the beatboxer who came 2nd and has just released his album called Audio Daydream I have downloaded it but haven't really got round to listening to it properly yet, I loved his version of Jamiroquai's-Virtual Instanity on last years show.





So will be interesting to see what this years shows brings should bring a few laughs at the start of the season anyway.

The Little Girl In A Long Road Stardom

I have couple of choices when trying to pick the best singers in Philippines one of the best i could think of, is Jonalyn Viray who sung well, The Whitney Houston hit song, run to you.. ohhh I love it!!! I must admit that I had a hard time hitting the note on the bridge of the song, just too high to really sing it right, well I'm not giving up , at the moment im just practicing it over and over again..

One of the best rendition of whitney Houston songs I heard were sung by a little girl Charice Pempengco, in 2005 when she was just 12 years old in the little big superstar competition her performances were amazing she got such a soulful voice but unbelievably she only placed 3rd in the competition and was forgotten about by a lot of people.
But she did become very popular in Korea and now finally because of being found on you tube and appearing on the Ellen show in the US she was discovered internationally,.
Even now she is only 14 years old and Hopefully she is going to have a very long and very successful music carer ahead.
well this is worth watching..,have a take a look at this..
