American Idol 10: Pinoy Bets - Thia Megia and Clint Jun Gamboa

American Idol 10 Semifinals and Wild Card Results are in!

Thia Megia is in. Sadly (not!) Clint Jun Gamboa and his stupid eyeglasses are out!

For a minute there I thought Junebug is going to lose it. Dude was hyperventilating so much I felt bad for him, for a while. Then I smiled because I realized I will no longer hear Junebug shout at me every week.

Junebug did not even get picked for the wild card. Which means you're not all that Junebug. Awww..

As for Thia, we got a little emotion out of her tonight as we saw tears running down one eye. Doesn't get more cinematic than that.

Now I want you to buy a personality, i.e. likability, so you'll get far in the competition and I will not be stopping my American Idol Pinoy Bet update the week after next. K? Thanks!

Thia Megia sang "Out Here On My Own" by Irene Cara. Nailed it. It was brave singing A cappella at the beginning of the song. Pitch perfect. My only critic is she has too connect with the song emotionally so she does not appear robotic. Develop a personality too especially when being interviewed by Ryan Seacrest. Overall, I like the performance.



Clint Jun Gambao sang Stevie Wonder's Superstition. Clint Jun can hit those notes but he's too shouty for me. Pre-hate on Clint Jun because of the Jacee ouster brouhaha during Group week. Jun also bugs the crap of me with his seemingly owlish eyes behind those ridiculous eyeglasses. Don't care if Jun bug does not make it to the top 10.
