The next American Idol… Reynaldo Lapuz
Who is Reynaldo Lapuz and what does he have to do with American Idol?
Last night, I happen to catch the last few minutes of American Idol Season 7 Dallas auditions on Star World. I was eating dinner when this monstrous white mass of feathers filled the screen. I couldn’t read well from where I sat the name that displayed, but the minute the white bird started to speak, I knew I was watching a Filipino.
I do not know what it is with people like William Hung (and now Reynaldo Lapuz) but they seem to have this x-factor that appeals to millions of people. This new guy from Dallas ended last night’s episode with his rendition of “I am your brother”, “You are my brother” or “We’re brothers forever”. I really wasn’t paying too much attention to the name of the song as I was laughing too hard.
But how could anyone glued to their TV sets forget how Paula Abdul did a back up number to “I am your brother” and how Simon got halo-ed while Reynaldo’s mono was playing in the background. Classic!
I, and about a thousand others, would probably agree with Simon… Reynaldo Lapuz and his outrageous song will become a hit record.

L.A. - I personally was not expecting such a performance from a fellow pinoy. I am much too blinded by my pride in all people and things Filipino that I feel everyone is like a Sway or Jasmine. His performance is really hilarious but that got people’s attention right?
