My New Blog

Okay, I will spare you. I will not sing. I've watched three episodes of American Idol. I like the audition. It helps me see the cross section of America. Also, it helps me see people with dreams.

The funny thing is American Idol is beginning to penetrate to the inner sanctum of my soul. It is not the singing. It it not the judges: Paula, Simon or Randy. It is about the dreams yearning to come out in the lives of the constestants.

I have a dream. I have an aspiration. I have a dream of writing a book. More precisely, I have a dream of writing a book that transform lives. As for me, I already have four rejections from book agents and publishers. I encourage myself knowing that J.K Rowlings (The Harry Potter lady) was rejected 11 times. Now, she is a billionaire.

I am willing to absorb rejections to see lives change. Okay, I have to confess. I dream my book being is a best selling blockbuster. Now, I just smile when rejections comes. It is part of the process. At the same time, I am one rejection closer to my dream.

I see myself in those contestants who dream to reach the top. I see those who excel and those who will go nowhere. The questions turns to you.

I see ATTITUDE, HUMILITY, and TEACHABILITY are big factors to progress forward.

The other fun part I like is to observe is how Simon and Fox put together the final 24. There is a talent, character, and business aspect in the decisions.

Here is my prediction. I predict Mr. Archuleta and Miss. Malubay will be in the top 5. Both of of them are good singers. Here are some intrinsic character traits that push them higher. Both are young and humble. Mr. Archuleta, 16, will wow the young girls. For Miss Malubay, there is a back end financial gain for the organizers.

I assume organizers have a cut to their future income. Organizers set the path of the singers stardom. For example, Jasmine Trias went platinum in the Philippines. She packs fans with in 10,000 and 20,000 auditoriums.

As for me, I will not vote. I just watch and observe. There are so much to learn to become an American Idol. There are so much to gems in this arena.
