hey jen sorry nakita ko lang kse ito from people tonights b yon i know it's kinda out sa mga topics kaya dito na lang ako sa hangout nagpost...proud lang ako sa pinays haha kse ....basahin nyo na lang...................................
HABANG hinihintay pa kung isa kina Camile Velasco at Jasmine Trias ang mananalo sa American Idol, isang Filipino ang nagwagi sa Star Search ng CBS — hosted by Arsenio Hall — na ikinatuwa ng mga Pinoy sa Amerika.
Eleven years old si Mark Mejia, na ang winning song ay Last Dance ni Donna Summer. Naka-base sa San Diego, California, ang bagets na ang cash prize ay $100,000. Isa sa judges ng Star Search ang singer na si Naomi Judd, mother ng aktres na si Ashley Judd.
Mala-Michael Jackson diumano ang boses ni Mark, na mula nang sumali sa Star Search ay hindi natalo. Nag-audition na rin si Mark sa AM Records; wala pang balita kung natanggap siya.
’Kaaliw ang sagot ng bagets nang sabihan ng taga-AM Records na baka magbago pa ang boses niya. Sabi raw ni Mark, wala siyang balak baguhin ang kanyang boses.

[glow=red,2,300]Still Hawai'i's Idol[/glow] Jasmine Trias glowed with happiness last night as she left "American Idol" in the next-to-last round. There was a peaceful glow about Jasmine Trias as "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest read off the viewer voting results last night. Trias, Seacrest announced, had gathered the least amount of votes after Tuesday's performance and was eliminated. No tears. No boos. No gasps of surprise. Instead, she blew kisses and smiled with dancing eyes as the audience, including her family, stood and applauded the 17-year-old from Mililani once dubbed the "Maryknoll Mystery Girl." She's a mystery no more. "Even though I didn't make it all the way, it feels like I'm there — where I want to be," Trias said in a video montage showing her "Idol" journey, which began with her first audition in early October. Trias displayed many looks during her time on "Idol," but last night her goodbye bore one of happiness and relief. And peace. She couldn't contain her smile as she hugged Fantasia Barrino and Diana DeGarmo and uttered "love, love, love, love" as the three embraced. Barrino and DeGarmo will go head to head in a two-hour season finale next week. "I am so ecstatic about making it this far. It's just incredible," Trias said. "... I could not ask for more. It's been such an honor to share the aloha spirit with the rest of the nation." Trias' farewell song, which she'll perform again next week with the rest of the finalists, was "Inseparable," which she had sung before and Simon Cowell had labeled "superb." It also seems to be the perfect way to describe the 'ohana-like relationship between Trias and Hawai'i. After Camille Velasco of Maui was eliminated April 7, Hawai'i's idol support grew each week despite harsh critiques from Cowell and the other judges. Trias was voted off last night despite a whopping 5.9 million voting attempts from Hawai'i Tuesday night, with 1.6 million votes getting through, according to Verizon Hawai'i. The adoration reached a pitch when she visited home last week and was greeted by hundreds of fans at the airport and thousands at a Waikiki appearance. "Jasmine knows Hawai'i loves her," said Rudy Trias Jr., her father, who has been with her in Hollywood since the beginning of the competition. "When we went back, she didn't think it was going to be that big. It was kind of a surprise. Crazy, crazy (support)." Last night, Trias and her home-state followers seemed inseparable in accepting it was a good time for her to exit. Critics had questioned the validity of the voting process after La Toya London was eliminated last week. And some Hawai'i fans feared that if Trias advanced further, she could be deemed the next John Stevens, the red-headed crooner who survived into the final six but ripped by judges and viewers alike. In the end, Trias' "Idol" journey seemed to play out perfectly. "It was a great run," her father said. "She was happy — relieved, I guess. She was ready if she had to go. She had already made the top five, which was one of her goals. So I think she felt she made it. "If she could tell Hawai'i anything, it would be thanks for the support. We're very proud of how Hawai'i supported her 200 percent. It was amazing." Trias will remain in Hollywood for next week's season finale. Velasco will fly from Maui on Friday to join the other finalists for the last night, then fly to Charlotte, N.C., with five other finalists to sing the national anthem at the Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR race. Both will start preparing for the "American Idol" three-month tour in July. Inseparable. "It feels like I'm there — where I want to be." Jasmine Trias
"The fact that she made it this far, with the pressure of being under the public eye every time out, the way she carried herself at 17, it's awesome. " Jonah Moananu Reached round of 32
"I do not believe I would have been able to be so composed at that age ... (I'd tell her to) pursue her dreams and continue to stay true to herself." Sabrina McKenna Circuit court judge
"She did represent Hawai'i well ... I think that it's great she's gone this far." Colleen Skrimstad 37, of Hawai'i Kai
"Jasmine represented herself and Hawai'i well." Jordan Segundo Reached round of 32 in season two
"Right now she's the most well-known singer from Hawai'i, and gosh, can you imagine starting off your career being the most well-known singer from Hawai'i?" Sonya Mendez Local entertainer
"It was her time ... (her performance) was not that good. She did better in the beginning." Brandee Koyanagi 13, of Mililani
"You want her to do well, but realistically, if you're going for talent, I was going for Diana (DeGarmo)." Cheryl Estabillo 24, of 'Ewa Beach

Kalihi warehouse phone team pumps out votes for JasmineZenaida Serrano A legal secretary sat across from a defense consultant, who was a few chairs away from a teacher — all were among scores of Island residents who gathered last night at a Kalihi warehouse with one mission: Help "American Idol" hopeful Jasmine Trias survive another round. Progressive Communications, a local telecommunication and data company, presented a voting party that drew more than 80 Trias supporters. Family members and friends of the company, as well as students and alumni of Maryknoll School, turned out. So did U.S. Attorney Ed Kubo. "I think she's been performing very good, very admirably, and I'm here to show my support," Kubo said. "I think she's a perfect example of a local girl making good." The field will be cut tonight to the final two singers. Fantasia Barrino and Diana DeGarmo are the other finalists. If any one place typified Hawai'i's support for Trias, it was Progressive Communications' cramped telephone systems warehouse. The makeshift calling center had just enough room for two rows of 10 folding tables and nearly 100 telephones. Organizers rented air conditioners and provided callers with pizzas and bentos. The itchy-fingered voters ate while watching Trias perform on an 8-by-8-foot screen, then promptly began voting at 8 p.m. Last week, a three-member team completed 10,000 votes for the 17-year-old Mililani finalist, said Aryn Nakaoka, operations manager at Progressive Communications. "We're aiming for 80,000 calls with an 80 percent success rate, so that would equal 60,000 votes," Nakaoka said. He said the process is entirely legal and within the rules. "This is not power dialing," Nakaoka said. At the voting party, all attempts to the 866 number associated with Trias were not made by computers, but by "actual humans" relying on the speed of their fingers, he said. "However, since we are utilizing a dial tone provider (Pacific LightNet Inc.) who's focused on the business market, their lines are an open freeway during the evenings," Nakaoka said. The voting period will be extended to four hours for next week's finale. "We'll probably do something, if not larger, just to continue showing local support for her," Nakaoka said about next week's finale, should Trias advance. Alex Pura, 35, of Royal Kunia, is a friend of the Trias family and helped call in votes. "She has always been trying to achieve greater heights in her skills, singing and dancing," said Pura, an associate defense consultant. "She was meant to be up there." Shop planner Deanna Oshiro, 36, said while Trias may not be the best singer in the competition, she has the best personality and look. "We're like an 'ohana," she said. "Regardless of how (she) performs, we back (her) up 100 percent."

No tears from Jasmine but harsh critique from judges There were no tears from Jasmine Trias after her three performances on "American Idol" last night. Only smiles. There were, however, more harsh critiques from the judges and another ultimatum from the acerbic Simon Cowell. While all three regular judges and guest judge Clive Davis, a giant in the music industry, heaped praise on Fantasia Barrino and gave Diana DeGarmo such a strong thumbs-up on her final performance that Cowell said it lifted her into next week's showdown of the top two, Trias received tempered praise at best. Mostly, she received straightforward criticism from Cowell, who told her after her third performance she "absolutely" had to go. None of which seemed to faze Trias, who broke into tears last week after receiving harsh critiques. And when she survived the cut and judge-favorite LaToya London was eliminated, Cowell later said he believed part of Trias' popularity was a sympathy vote for the tears. Last night, he even took a little dig at the voting process: After Barrino finished one of her songs, he quipped that he was going to be "tactical" and, with a wink, he said it was the worst thing he'd ever heard even if the other three judges raved. Clearly, Cowell believes DeGarmo and Barrino should be next week's finalists — with Barrino the winner. A strong endorsement, yes, but similar feelings couldn't save London, the previous favorite, last week. If anything, the harsh critiques are hardening Trias without affecting her infectious smile. "She's feeling good," said her father, Rudy Trias Jr. "She thought she was going to be nervous, but she was relaxed. She was happy with her performances, and I'm feeling great about it." 'American Idol' Field will be cut to 2 finalists, 8 to 9 tonight Fox (KHON) Each contestant sang three songs. One was their choice, one a judge chose and one was chosen by Davis. Wearing a high ponytail with an aqua halter and black mini, Trias opened the show choosing "Saving All My Love for You," and drawing a lukewarm response, at best, from the judges. "It was good," judge Randy Jackson said. "It was not great." Paula Abdul tried to remain supportive: "It's a tough song to pick, especially in this point of the competition." Davis said Trias "did real well with it, and you captured the tenderness in the end." And from Cowell: "Sweet, but forgettable." Abdul picked Trias' next song, "Mr. Melody." "I love when you just let go ... I like you singing up-tempo songs," Abdul said. "That was a better song for you," Jackson said. Cowell: "I think everybody's thinking the same thing: So what?" Song No. 3, Davis' choice, was "All by Myself." "I felt no connection with any emotions," Jackson said. "I feel like you did much better this time," Abdul said. "It came off striking," said Davis. Cowell called third strike: "For me, it has to end tonight." Barrino's stature as the favorite was solidified by Cowell's remark after her final performance: "What does it say behind you?" he asked. She was standing in front of the "American Idol" sign.

ohmigosh, cant believe that they even have a Jasmine Trias day .. unbelievable for a 16-year old .. but she deserves it anyway! ;D for sure, even if she doesnt win the AI title, she'll be so popular sa hawaii .. may career na siya agad .. sana punta rin siya dito sa PI hehe ;D [glow=red,2,300]Kama'aina jazzed for Jasmine [/glow] By Zenaida Serrano Advertiser Staff WriterThe senior class stood front and center for classmate Jasmine Trias, the "American Idol" finalist, cheering for her during an assembly in her honor at Maryknoll High School's Rogers Hall. It was supposed to be an over-the-top entrance for the "American Idol" cameras: Hawai'i's "Idol" hopeful riding into Kuhio Beach on an outrigger canoe. The plan was she'd get out of the canoe and take part in a public torch-lighting near the Duke Kahanamoku statue. But Mother Nature must be one of the few non-''American Idol" faithful. The muggy weather turned to rain — and Jasmine Trias' canoe entrance was scrapped in favor of a limousine arrival (though she did a quick canoe outtake for the cameras earlier). The torch-lighting participation was snuffed out. None of which seemed to matter to the thousands of hysterical fans in Waikiki last night. "Jasmania" reached Beatlemania level, complete with rushing mobs, ear-piercing screams and blinding camera flashes — all for Trias on her brief two-day homecoming to capture more video for upcoming "Idol" shows. And, perhaps, beyond. Despite the wind and rain, droves of shivering devotees packed Kuhio Beach and spilled out onto Kalakaua Avenue, waiting to catch a glimpse of Hawai'i's rising star. Trias arrived via stretch Ford Excursion limousine at the hula mound on Kuhio Beach, where Mayor Jeremy Harris proclaimed the day "Jasmine Trias Day in the City and County of Ho-nolulu." The ceremony included a conch shell blowing, chant and hula performance, as well as some impromptu autograph signings. "I cannot believe this," Trias said to her screaming fans. "I mean, look at how many people are here. Thank you so much for all your support. ... You're a big part of my life." A television crew from "American Idol" accompanied the 17-year-old Miliani teen. Some of the footage will be shown on Monday's "American Idol" special on Fox. Organizers of the event had planned for a more picturesque ending to her stay, hoping to have Trias arrive at the beach via outrigger canoe. Besides the torch-lighting, the schedule was also supposed to include departing via horse-drawn-carriage down Kalakaua Avenue. Tight schedule Etalyn Jahier, talks with Jasmine Trias, at the Mayor's ceremony proclaiming May 14, Jasmine Trias Day. Thousands of people waited in the rain to get a glimpse of the American Idol contestant. All plans changed with the unfavorable weather conditions and a tight schedule. Leila Delos Santos was among those braving the downpour last night to see Trias. The Makawao resident, 19, responded to criticism that Trias was winning a popularity contest and not a talent contest. "People vote because they want to hear what's good," she said. Delos Santos added there's nothing wrong with Hawai'i residents backing up one of their own. "Whenever there's a Hawaiian or a local person striving for something, we go all the way with them ... until the end," she said. Before leaving Waikiki, Trias made a stop at the city's Sunset on the Beach event, where she appeared on a 30-foot screen, again thanking hundreds of screaming fans for their support. Trias, flown to Honolulu by "American Idol," flew back to Los Angeles last night. She packed a full schedule into her less than 48-hour stay. She was at KSSK doing a radio interview by 6 a.m. and by 8:15 she made it back to visit her Maryknoll family, where more than 600 screaming students and faculty greeted a tearful Trias with dozens of signs and banners welcoming her back. A senior who has missed most of her class activities this year because of "Idol" commitments, Trias stopped by the school for a 30-minute assembly in her honor. School officials, who dubbed the hysteria "Jasmania," presented her with lei. Trias joined the students in singing "The Power of Your Love" and the school's alma mater. Mayor Jeremy Harris escorts Jasmine Trias from her limo, as she arrived at the Mayor's Proclamation ceremony proclaming May 14, Jasmine Trias Day. "I'm so happy to be here and see all my friends," said Trias, wearing a pink faux flower behind her ear. "I can't even stay for long, but it's all worth it." Despite some rain, the crowd was in high spirits, waving colorful "Go Jasmine!" and "Hawai'i Loves Jasmine" signs over their heads. "We're so proud of her, even before 'American Idol,'" said senior Pauline Chan, who has known Trias for four years. Troy Kamiya, Trias' sociology teacher, remembers when Trias was a freshman and was too shy and embarrassed to sing in class. "She came such a long way," Kamiya said. "... I'm just getting chicken skin right now thinking about it. We're definitely proud of her." Trias' Maryknoll visit was just one of many appearances she made since arriving home Thursday morning. Her itinerary yesterday included a television news interview and radio spots. Aloha spirit demonstrated Thousands of people waited to get a glimpse of Jasmine Trias at the Mayor's proclamation of Jasmine Trias Day. Before her Maryknoll stop, Trias was a guest on the Perry and Price morning radio show, where "American Idol" segment producer Simon Lythgoe described the frenzy he has experienced with Trias. "I had the privilege of going back to Clay Aiken's hometown at this time last year and he had good response," Lythgoe said. The response in Hawai'i, he said, was "1,000 times" greater. "I've never seen a response like this anywhere." Trias has been making appearances with Lythgoe, as well as her father, Rudy Trias Jr., who was to fly back with her to Los Angeles. "Just to be home and see all these people, the aloha spirit is so great," Rudy Trias said. "It's unbelievable the support she's getting from Hawai'i." While Trias and her father were excited to be home and to meet fans, Lythgoe said Jasmine was in need of some down time. "She needs to rest her voice because tomorrow she's got to record three songs for the show and if she makes it to 'American Idol' (next week), she records a single."
