Ramiele Malubay


Eight hours before American Idol is aired in our local chanels, someone texted me the spoiler: "Ramiele just left the show."

I was hoping that the news wasn't true. I absolutely wasn't feeling good about it. I watched the replay of the contestant's performance night and Ramiele may not be the best but definitely not the weakest. I tried to sleep after that and planned not to watch the elimination episode at 6pm.

I got awakend by my noisy neighbors at 6:30pm. I turned the TV on and when I saw Ramiele seated in one of the stools with Kristy, I knew the news I got earlier that day was true.

I turned the TV off, only to find myself turning it on again 20 minutes later. It's confirmed, Ramiele is going home...


She was never in the bottom three before so, her, getting the cut came as a surprise to me. I believe she deserve to have stayed longer.


Well, I'd remember April 1, 2008 as the day when Filipinos in the United States stayed away from their phones.


(Sigh!)

Thanks for adding me up to your blog links, Ely. I felt sad too that she got ditched from the show. Many people love her and I just hope that the end of her American Idol quest will be the beginning of her singing career.

Guess life is not fair!

her performances in the past few weeks were not as good as what the people thought ramiele can do. maybe it was just not her best.

but for us pinoy. she's still a winner. hope she gets to visit the Philippines soon.

Naku ha? wag mo akong bi-breykan, although i was rooting for her in the beginning, wala eh, ayaw ilabas ang Ommph! And i really believe that she's not going to win and sooner or later, aalis din sya. Yaan, mo marami pa namang talents ang mga pinoy. One of them is Arnel Pineda who is doing pretty good.

Ako, I have talents na sayo ko lang ipapakita. Hehehe

i think so too but let's face it, ramiele's choice of songs were getting boring. the only wow performance that she delivered was her first (i believe she sang "you don't have to say you love me") then nothing of equal level to that came. i agree with simon, her last performance was forgettable. maybe she got too confident because of the fact that she wasn't on the bottom three eversince the season started.

but i think it should have been kristy. hehe.

sayang. she should go here, she'd definitely have a career here. plus, she's cute. hehe.

tulad nga ng sabi nung isa jan, sinong pinoy ba ang maghahangad na matalo si ramiele..

:D

filipinos around the globe already have proved his talent.. hindi lang nga siguro swerte sa pagkakataong ito.

Ely said...

cedeux,really sad. I agree with the song choices, ndi lumabas galing niya. Well, good luck to her!

Chres, ur welcome. She'll be joining the Idol tour anyway, so a singing career may be waiting.

paolo, u did? too bad the votes were not enough to save her. care to ex-link?

footiam, thanks for visiting me here again!

Ely said...

the dong, she's got the talent, but too safe with her song choices.

dakilang bayani, yes i'm a fan! hehe. Ako din, inaabangan ko dito every Wednesday and Thursday.

reyna elena, oo nga sayang, ndi lumabas galing niya.

Ely said...

look at the ceiling, i agree, Kristy should have been sent home first. LOL. Yup, masiyado na siya naging safe bec she was never in the bottom 3. I don't think she needs to come home to start a career, mas maganda kung sa US na lang siya.


ironnie, yup, poor song choices...

busy sila sa april's fools? sayang nga eh.. kahit d2, yung mga kasama kong brits sa work eh gusto din sia...

I also got wind of the sad news hours before the airing of American Idol through Yahoo. I haven't seen her perform on TV yet and I'm not much of an American Idol fan but since she's Filipino, I'd definitely root for her. Sayang she's eliminated lang.
