I've watched the first two nights of this season's American Idol. Last night, they visited Philadelphia. Tonight, the held auditions in Dallas. In all, it has been four agonizing hours of bad singers, mixed in with a few average singers and one or two potential finalists.
Of everybody I've seen so far, no one has been as memorable as Renaldo Lapuz, the friendly and likable 44-year-old from Las Vegas. He finished tonight's episode with a heartfelt original song entitled "We're Brothers Forever". Moments after the show ended, his performance was already on YouTube. Check it out (I don't know how long it will be before it's yanked). If you want to get right to the song, skip to the 2:30 mark.
I am your brother
Your best friend forever
Singing the songs, the music that you love
We're brothers till the end of time
Together or not, you're always in my heart

did the guy make it to Hollywood? I didn't see the end.
Unfortunately not. The competition's age cutoff is 28 and he's over the limit by 16 years. But never fear, I have a feeling he'll be back for the show's finale, so in a way, his ticket to Hollywood is guaranteed.
"unfortunately not." haha! this guy is the william hung of this season. rest assured, this clip will not die! i loved his speech at the end. now... i need to go play many hours of rock band to get this song out of my head. :p

gg: I think he made Idol history as the first contestant to ever call Simon "a great person". And if he's this season's William Hung, can a record deal be far behind? :D
ann: Thanks for the tip on Coe's backcountry weekend. I'll have to be sure to submit my application. An overnight stay would be very cool.
