Pinoys in American Idol

The Inquirer is reporting that David Archuleta is of Filipino descent? Really? Or is that just wishful thinking? Filipinos have very little to cheer about so they keep on looking out for people to idolize no matter how tenuous their Pinoyness.

Now even if Archuleta is indeed of Filipino descent, will he embrace his Pinoyness and be proud of it? Or will he be like those Pinoys in the U.S. who are ashamed to admit that they are Filipinos so they pretend to be Spanish, or Chinese, or Japanese, etc. etc.

Anyways, if he is indeed Pinoy and if he is proud of the fact that he is one, then we will be very supportive of him. That is, of course, if he can sing. We don’t like another Jasmine Trias who keeps moving on to the next week even if she is totally outclassed by other contestants. Filipinos back then kept voting for her to the point that it became embarrassing.

Other AI contestants this season who are supposedly Pinoys are Ramielle Malubay and Neyshia Go. They reportedly made it to the top 50.
