my AMERICAN IDOL Judging Stint

Bowled over by Blake, Lakisha, Bon Jovi on ‘American Idol’

Posted date: May 08, 2007

ROCK night is one of the most awaited themes in Star World’s “American Idol.” Last week’s show featured one of mainstream American rock and roll’s most enduring acts, Bon Jovi, showing our Idols how to edge it up for the stage.

After Wednesday night, every one couldn’t get enough of Blake Lewis’ funky version of “You Give Love a Bad Name,” while Lakisha Jones bared her soulfulness with a dramatic performance of “This Ain’t a Love Song.” Judges Randy, Simon, and Paula gave them the thumbs up, and so did 2bU! readers.

For their entries to the Star World-2bU! U B the Judge promo, Angela, Mark Bryan, and Pio all win special premium prizes from Star World and “American Idol.” Congratulations, guys! To claim your prize, please call Cindy Corrales at 893-7472 to 73.

You too can win exciting prizes from the world’s biggest singing competition! Catch “American Idol” tonight at 6 p.m. live via satellite (or 8 p.m. primetime and 11:30 p.m.) on Star World, give us your name and contact details, comment on the finalists’ performance, styling, song choice, audience impact, and even fashion in five sentences or less and e-mail to starworld.ph@gmail.com. The finals are almost here, people, let’s hear it! We know there’s an inner Simon in you.

Here’s what our winning trio thought of last week’s Bon Jovi bonanza:

Angela Santiago: Blake did so well with his rendition of “You Give Love A Bad Name.” He was able to make it his own without destroying the song. I was disappointed that Jordin did not give her usual breathtaking performance, but I still believe she deserves to be in the finale.

Mark Bryan Garcia: Most of last Wednesday’s performances of famous Bon Jovi songs were amazing! Phil was pretty good and the audiences enjoyed his performance very much, but then Simon (as always) had to be a killjoy. Lakisha’s performance was so fantastic that it even prompted Simon to kiss her. The best performance of the night, of course, was Blake. The beatboxer was the most fashionable and he really made the song sound more exciting. I loved it! Blake deserves to be the next American Idol.

Pio II Tabernilla: It was a rocking Bon Jovi night and, yup, Lakisha is definitely back, redeeming herself with her golden pipes and powerful rendition of “This Ain’t A Love Song.” Blake’s new hair color and big risk to stylize “You Give Love A Bad Name” was very hip and entertaining.

Aurora Province not Aurora Quezon

Yes, you read it right. It is Aurora Province and not Aurora Quezon , at least not anymore. Our province is always a victim of this misconception. It is true though that we have been once part of the Quezon Province but for the longest time now Aurora has been granted a Province Status since August 13, 1979 by President Ferdinand E. Marcos  by virtue of Batas Bambansa Blg. 7. I can't blame the people if they still think that Aurora is still part of Quezon. Let's face it, our Province is not known very well. If not because of TYPHOONS we may not even have a mark on people's minds. But mind you, Aurora  can boast a lot of its good features. So Folks. Let me Introduce my Province. Yup, I am a Proud Auroran. Let me do this to help spread the information how beautiful my province is.  Aurora Province is located on the East-Central side of Luzon Island. It has a total land area of 323,954 hectares. Agriculture is the primary industry in Aurora, employing approximately half o

Schengen Visa for Filipinos

  I'd like to share with you my experience in applying for a Schengen Visa. I submitted my application last March 12 and got the decision last March 19 (5 working days). It was so tiring as I only had 2 weeks to gather/prepare all my documents, but it's all worth it. ️  Things you must remember:  • Secure an appointment at VFS Global website • On your appointment day, submit all the required documents.  • Please note that you are not directly submitting your documents at the Dutch Embassy. VFS is the application center handling all Netherlands Schengen Visa applications.  • VFS officer will thoroughly check your documents and will ask necessary questions when needed. In my case, no questions were asked.  • After documents submission, you will be asked to pay the Visa Fee + VFS Processing Fee (P5190). This is non-refundable in case of visa denial.  • Wait for your name to be called for Biometrics. VFS officer may ask some questions during this process. I was just asked when do I
