Subject: Re: This is not Filipino Idol. Simple as that. Author: kama‘aina [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 02/26/04 11:20pm PST In reply to: chinese-filipino-korean black dog eater 's message, "Re: This is not Filipino Idol. Simple as that." on 02/20/04 5:29pm PST chinese-filipino-korean black dog eater, honey, pay attention! read! my post clearly seeks to question manang camila's statement: "I know most of your phone votes for the Top 12 Finalists slot came from Filipino Americans on the U.S. Mainland, not from Hawaii's residents as your stepfather James West claims." How does she know what ethnicity voted for Camile? Do you know? Obviously not! You cannot tell what votes came from Filipinos, Chinese, Korean, whatever race. You CAN tell how much votes came from what part of the country, and it's stated again in our local news that 1 to 1.5 million votes that went to Camile came from Hawai‘i. Again, we here in Hawai‘i are proud, regardless of her ethnic extraction whether she is yellow, green, orange, or Filipino. She represents not only the Filipino community, but my homeland, Hawai‘i, as a whole. WE LOVE HER!! P.S. I read Lois Yamanaka's book "Blu's Hanging". Very strong book. It can be very offensive, especially to Filipinos. I was a student of hers when she was a teacher in my middle school. And I love Frank Delima! His racial jokes can be offensive, but we who were born and raised in Hawai‘i understand his jokes and laugh! I notice that Filipinos, especially those who were not born and raised in multicultural Hawai‘i have no understanding and are easily offended. But what does this have to do with questioning Manang Camila's opinion regarding the number of votes for Camile Velasco? E 'olelo mai ke 'olu'olu! (Please explain!)

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.
