It seems that Jasmine Trias, the only Filipina on the American Idol elimination round after Camille Velasco was booted out, is on her way to, let’s keep our fingers crossed and pray, a good finish.
In the latest episode of the popular talent-search, Jasmine has stayed.
"She’s putting up a good fight," said Funfare’s Toronto-based "international correspondent" Ferdinand Lapuz.
The three African-American girls on the show – now known only by their first names, La Toya, Fantasia and Jennifer – are, so to speak, tough nuts to crack. One of them, Jennifer, has been booted out in this week’s elimination round.
"I got goosebumps when I heard Jasmine’s version of I’ll Never Love This Way Again," said Ferdinand. "She’s the only Asian, and a Filipino at that, to have gone this far on American Idol. Ibang putahe si Jasmine; she’s so refreshing."
Will Jasmine be "it"? Who knows? Stay tuned. * * *
