Marketa Iglova's Oscar's Speech

I was watching this morning the Oscars ( February 25 here in Manila), and I was able to see the acceptance speech from the Marketa Irglova, Best Original Song winner. For those who havent watch it, it could have gone down as one of the most harsh moment in Oscars. Why? The orchestra swelled just as petite Best Original Song co-winner stepped up to the microphone to speak following partner Glen Hansard. The pair won for their tune "Falling Slowly" from the indie musical "Once," but only Hansard gave an acceptance before their moment in the spotlight seemed to be over.
After a commercial break, host Jon Stewart brought the 19-year-old Czech musician back on stage for a second chance to give an acceptance speech.

her speech was one of the best Oscar's speech I have ever heard:

"The fact that we're standing here tonight, the fact that we're able to hold this, it's just proof that no matter how far out your dreams are, it's possible.And, you know, fair play to those who dare to dream, and don't give up. This song was written from the perspective of hope, and hope, at the end of the day, connects us all, no matter how different we are."


Ver well said. Thanks Jon Stewart and the production staff of Oscars for giving Ms.Marketa a second chance.

My American Idol Season 7 Top 10 Contenders

The competition begins. Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul & the infamous Simmon Cowell had just picked the 24 American Idol wannabees for this seventh season. Now its up to us, soryy i mean the decision of choosing the next AI is up to the american viewers. I have watched the last two season of American Idol and sad to say that I was dissapointed to the outcome of Taylor Hicks and Jordin Sparks (2006 and 2007 winners). Well, I guess A.I. has produced only few "real idols" who has staying power in the music industry like Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood; the rests are just simply "KARAOKE masters". I hope that this year Americans will discern easily the "IDOL" from the pretender.


I have here my top 10 picks for this season:
1. David Archuleta ( he's boy looking and he has a potential to be on the top 3 );
2. Ramielle Malubay ( love our very own, this Filipino-American petite girl really rocks);
3. Carly Smithson ( this Irish girl reminds me of evanescence's amy lee
4. Brooke White ( simply she's angelic looking isnt she, my favourite among the girls)
5. Jason Castro( very talented person )
6. Michael Johns ( this aussie guy is my favorite among men contenders, he reminds me of Ricky Martin)
7.Syesha mercado ( she got beautiful voice, sexy body and a weird name too )
8. Robbie Carico ( he looks like an old rocker turned wrestler but he got a good voice too)
9 David Cook ( his voice is like of the frontman of the band Iris )
10. Chikeze Eze ( the only black chosen from the 12 male contenders, his voice reminds me of peabo bryson).
