A Hard Day's Night for Ramiele Malubay
Before Ramiele took the stage tonight, I had this really horrible vibe that she might not hit it once again this week! Ramiele Malubay, a 20-year old American Idol Top 12 contestant, haven't got the approval from the judges of the American Idol again! This must be Ramiele's roughest three weeks of her lifetime. I was glad that she chose to sing one of my favorite songs from the Beatles, In my Life, but I guess she hasn't incorporated the song really well that it appeared as if she's just singing another karaoke song. The arrangement wasn't that good too. I myself is a musician and I can brag that I could sing that song better than how Ramiele did tonight! Just as she hit the first note, I felt that she can't make the judges be proud of her. Like Randy, I was waiting for this "magic" and this "style" that she should be showing but it didn't come off. All Ramiele's family and fans have waited for a whole week for this, but really, I AM DISAPPOINTED. I feel a littled dishearted by what this girl is doing on the show. I think she is so being self-centered, having to choose an arrangement that doesn't really equalize her level. She should not forget that American Idol is a competition and not only a show where she sings to entertain people. It's both a competition and as well as a show. She entertains and competes with the rest.
She is really huge,man. And I really believe in her talent. What I meant by 'Rami's being self-centered' is that she is always dwelling to the issues that she had in the past. Like the 'past experience and stuff' that she had that made her sing "Against All Odds", and 'singing for the friends who have gone (I bet it's for Danny Noriega, really)' that she sang the song "In My Life". It's just that those songs were really big time that it's hard for somebody to have the same song arrangement and singing style that could make it really unforgettable in a competition such as the American Idol. The song "In My Life" is a good song to sing though, but for a competition, Ramiele's arrangement is just too shallow for it to become competitive. I am really disappointed that I just wanted to cry. But don't get me wrong---I love Ramiele still. I love her outfit today..the hair and the makeup. I love the singing too, but it isn't really a good song choice to present in a competition. Actually, if she can play the piano or the guitar, it might have sounded pretty okay though. Like Brook White's version of "Let it Be". Dude, if she hasn't played the piano, she's not going to make it. She'll look as boring as the movie I SPY. But because she played the piano, she made a great impact to the judges and to the audience. There's really a big difference in there. Mind you, if Ramiele really played the piano or guitar too, it'll be fantastic!
Because I felt unhappy, I was moved to buy a gallon of ice cream and consume all of it. I feel really bad for Ramiele. I hope America won't forget to vote for her. She has this talent and everybody can see that. She just needs somebody that could teach her on what to do and not to do. Also, as an act of rebellion against Rami.. .. look at the picture of me below..
I'm eating the weirdest food Ramiele has ever eaten--the Balut! 18 days duck egg, boiled. I really feel bad about what happened tonight on American Idol. I really hope and pray that she's still going to make it next week. If she's not going to make it next week, I am dead sure she can make it to the platinum here in the Philippines. Mind you, Wowowee's latest album went to gold. How much more if it's from Ramiele? I sure will buy her album if she's going to release one. Even she will not make it next week and she comes to the Philippines, I might go to Manila and meet her at the airport. I so love her....I just feel bad though...but I still love her. You can do it, Ramiele!
*Note: I may be smiling at those pictures, but really, I feel terrible inside.
PS
If she's going to make it to the next round, I hope and pray that she'll not mess up anymore.
