Renaldo Lapuz

I just want to write for posterity that I stayed up 'til 130am to watch pinoy Renaldo Lapuz in American Idol. Waited for him since seeing the advertisement of his pamperya arrival.

He sang his original composition "We're brother's forever..."

"I am your brother
Your best friend forever
Singing the songs The music that you like
We're brothers til the end of time
Together forever til the end of time
I am your brother
Your best friend forever Singing the songs The music that you like
We're brothers til the end of time Together or not, you're always in my heart
..."

Was it his plan to exhibit one of the perennial, "off-the-shelf," pinoy trait... sipsip and suck-up to Simon? Seems genuine though and Simon loves being sucked-up to.

I still maintain that William Hung and Renaldo should be paid premium for supplying entertainment. There was even this girl from a previous episode that they used as a perfect narrator to the ending montage.



And at the very least we look up to Renaldo for having the balls to arrive in a pamperya attire and do what we can't: speak in pure Filipino accent, sing the trademark inuman karaoke voice, hold back tears on tv (another pinoy-tv trademark), and become a youtube hit.

His name could be Reynaldo though. Idol staff could have stupidly missed the y.
