All Things and Sundry

I still cant wait to blog this down.

Though Lucena favorite, and now first Philippine Idol, Maureen Marcelo, has been the runaway winner in the local Idol tilt, there still some not so nice comments to look up to. I think Mau’s judge’s pick for the song Balut was a sabotage.

Though she victoried in having it delivered, it still pales in comparison from what gian and jan sang. I still cant understand why they did chose that song over a thousand songs out there. It could have been another OPM cut, but really Balut made her just that. A balut. Almost a loser. I was so disgusted how the judges, though esteemed in their field, were able to pick that song for Mau. Talk about present-day Apartheid.

However, it was a 180-degree turn now. Everybody who threw in votes for Mau, Lovely during our elementary days, sure did get to forget how aweful it was that fateful night of December 9 for her. Im quite sure that the very reason she almost cried in her BMG-choice song was that she was thinking that she would be losing the Idol tilt and would just be again a runner-up just like what she have experienced from the Sarah Geronimo days.

But now, it could be said that another chapter could be started of what of her life is left. Maureen has almost everything in her hands now. Im quite sure that offers from big networks would be knocking on her doors for an even more broader exposure and opportunity.

I know she can very much handle her career now, and i can proudly say that wala tlaga syang ere as in. The Maureen Marcelo, who used to play chicho and patintero way back in elementary is the same Maureen, the first Philippine Idol, now.

Mau, keep your feet on the ground. more power!
