My American Idol Jason Castro is Out
Last night, I really went home early to catch my now favorite TV show, the American Idol. Even my son knows that the TV is mine every six in the evening of Wednesdays and Thursdays. Anyway, this week, my heart bled because my favorite contender, Jason Castro, was voted out.
It was quite surprising that Syesha Mercado made it to the top three. She has always been considered a weak contender, quite unpopular and was most of the time part of the week’s bottom contestants. Jason Castro on the other hand was a consistent favorite. He was well loved by America and especially popular with teens. His inexperience shows in his performances and surprisingly, it was part of his charm. It was ironic how he seemed relieved that he was voted out last night because he was worried that he would not be able to come up with more songs for the remaining three weeks.
Jason, oh Jason… He’s very talented and very handsome, American Idol surely is not the end of the line for him. I’m positive I would soon be hearing his songs in the radio and on top of the charts too. What more, Jason will always remain in my picture frames on our bedside. He surely is my personal American Idol. 
American Idol Down to Top Five, Predictions and Musings
The American Idol craze in the Philippines has long ago started but I only felt the sensation just last month. A late bloomer indeed. Since I watched this show one Wednesday, I was hooked and since then, been watching it religiously whenever I can.
Last Thursday, the bottom two were Syesha Mercado and Carly Smithson. Automatically, I thought Syesha would be eliminated because for the last weeks, she has always been nominated in the bottom three though she has been performing magnificently. As Simon Cowell said, American Idol is a popularity contest and I think, Syesha, no matter how good she is, would not last more than three weeks.
The exit of Carly and her bodystockings tattoos was such a surprise, she has always been the top woman contender, has always been better with Brooke White in performance and a favorite among the judges. She ’s indeed very good but Syesha’s performance last Wednesday totally blew me away that I hoped she would be voted out so I can see her perform again her “One Rock n’ Roll Too Many rendition,” it was totally awesome! You’d think, why the heck was she in the bottom two when she did very outstandingly…
The American Idol boys are very popular that it seem Syesha and Brooke do not stand a chance. David Archuleta has always been a shoe-in, America loves him so are the judges including the “I-don’t-care-if-you-hate-me” cynic Simon. David Cook was truly amazing, seldom gets a bad review from the judges. He’s very good-looking with a dynamo voice, his popularity rocks especially for the women population of America. Jason Castro is my crush… No, I’m in-love with him, my husband knows that. Cowell and Randy Jackson both agreed that his last performance was kinda icky but Jason was truly popular that he managed to stay on the safe side. The charisma of Jason for me lies with his lovely smile, he also radiate a naive and innocence look that when he sings, you wanted to wrap your arm around him and protect him. That’s just me anyway.

Edelweiza: Hi der! I admire BF, too. I always see him during Cabinet events in the Palace as our office is the one in-charge of them. It’s his strong character and sincere efforts to “urbanize” the metropolis and us city dwellers that keeps me an avid fan. He belongs to a very rare breed of public officials that really walk the talk. I think he deserves all the support he can get from Filipinos. :D
