Subject: Re: This is not Filipino Idol. Simple as that. Author: kama‘aina [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 02/19/04 12:51pm PST In reply to: Manang Camila 's message, "Re: This is not Filipino Idol. Simple as that." on 02/19/04 10:48am PST How do you know most of the votes came from Filipino Americans on the mainland and not Hawai‘i? Did you actually tally every vote and discerned what ethnicity each vote was? It was announced in our local morning news broadcast here in Hawai‘i nei that 1 million of the estimated 5 to 7 million votes came from Hawai‘i. We here in Hawai‘i are proud of her, AND any person, regardless of ethnicity who are from Hawai‘i. Hawai‘i is very underrepresented in American music. Hulo hulo Camile! Mahalo ia 'oe! Nahenahe kou leo! Maui a Hawai‘i no ka heke! Aloha! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Simple as that. -- Bev, 05/14/04 7:11am PDT i think the beauty of music is in the ear of the listener. for me, jasmine trias sang the best on disco theme night. it was just that all the judges, including the usually nice paula abdul, lied (or had some hearing problems) that night, which made jasmine cry. just listen to the ai3 greates soul classics cd. jasmine recorded the 3rd best voice in the studio, just next to camile velasco (clearly the best!) and the similarly-maligned redhead guy whose name i've forgotten. (NT) -- ading a napusaksak, 05/15/04 4:18pm PDT also, regarding the voting controversy, hawaii's people shouldn't shoulder the blame as they were able to cast only over a million votes out of 9(?) million total on that tuesday night for jasmine ( i think she received the highest # of votes). most filipino-americans live outside hawaii, right? (NT) -- ading manen, 05/15/04 4:24pm PDT remember also that many filipinos in the u.s. vote for other candidates, not jasmine, and that many non-filipinos also vote for her. fair is fair. (NT) -- ading latta, 05/15/04 4:25pm PDT Re: This is not Filipino Idol. Simple as that. mark 04/24/04 7:50pm PDT Excuse me? There are only 200,000 Filipinos in Hawaii. The U.S. Mainland has over two million Filipinos, excluding the TNTs (illegal immigrants). -- Walking Encyclopedia, 04/26/04 3:43pm PDT why fil-am idol jasmine trias got booted the week prior to the grand finale of ai3 -- singing soldier, 05/20/04 9:51pm PDT
