World peace, good health for Nengkoy and the return of genuine happy smiles from all people severely affected by super typhoon Haiyan are my unselfish wishes for my upcoming birthday.
In terms of worldly materialistic birthday wishes, aside from ten million bucks, the following easy on the pocket tangibles would definitely make my birthday settle in high spirits:
a Book…
i’m pretty sure this autobiography would be an interesting read
a CD…
with or without autograph, i would looove to have this
and an MP3 Player …
i prefer the yellow color… its as small as a five peso coin. this would be nice to carry in my pocket while on a thread mill
Wans a yir lang ang bertday! Kaya damihan na ang wishes…
Melinda Doolittle, David Archuleta and Jessica Sanchez of American Idol, Ella Henderson of X Factor (UK), Marco Germar of So You Think You Can Dance (U.S.) and most recently Morisette Amon of The Voice (Philippines) were the awesome talents I personally rooted for in their respective contest seasons in the past. Click the name of these talents to read my posts about them for me to prove my point. I can’t seem to remember when was the last time that my chosen contender won the contest he or she is competing on TV.
Strangely, despite their breathtaking performances, no one among these brilliant and gifted contestants did won in their respective talent contests. They were beaten by other competitors as oddly voted by their respective country’s viewers. Honestly, I’d rather observe a grass growing than listen or watch these so called winners perform.
lady gaga, katy perry and rihanna has yet to perform a number as amazing as this…
Anyway, it seems that it was not America, nor the UK, nor the Philippines talent contests that has the right sagacity and discernment for what a true talent really means. Surprisingly, Australia does have the right vibe, groove and keenness on this matter. I am saying this because just tonight, Australia has voted and honored Dami Im to be this year’s X Factor (Australia) WINNER!!!
I was slightly freaked out when the host announced who this year’s winner was. I was clapping and cheering when Dami Im’s name was called. All I can say is that endearing Australia got it right in the pocket… Aussies know what exceptional talent is…
Here’s the spectacular and one-of-a-kind final number of Dami Im singing Purple Rain…
I told myself that I would only write about Dami Im when she has been proclaimed the winner of X Factor Australia this year. But with the amazing talent that Dami Im has just shown in the grand finals night tonight, I could not contain myself to not write about it anymore.
Being a self-proclaimed member of the Dami Army let this blog be a portal for dear Australia to know that one world class talent and superstar is in the person of Dami Im. It would be a crime if she won’t win the X Factor Australia 2013.
So to dear Australia, I hope you vote for Dami Im!!! Here’s her last performance that would surely seal the deal. This video I suppose also contains the best judges’ ovation of any talent show in the world.
Winner or not, I will definitely miss her when the show ends…
It’s official. I am an enlisted personnel of the army, The Dami Army that is. I have done this by pressing the Like icon button of her Facebook page and posting this article into this blog.
I followed the progress and features of this year’s X Factor Australia initially by being so mesmerized by the Jai Waetford audition, this year’s first audition feature. But during that same first day of audition-features I was equally impressed by the most awkward looking lady singing Hero by Mariah Carey as her audition piece.
But I totally became a fan when she performed during the bootcamp portion of the competition. There was a major mishap yet she rose to the occasion and performed a very beautiful number.
She actually was dropped from the competition because of this. Yet fate I guess is truly on her side to become one popular artist because she was the one who got a surprise call when one of the finalists backed out from the show. From then on, I continued looking after how Dami Im has performed in the contest.
Dami Im is the personification of “awkward” being “the new awesome”. Her inelegance and gawkiness is so fresh and captivating. What is so damn great about Dami is when she starts singing her un-polish-ness just disappears right before your eyes and transformation into a remarkable singing talent just comes into sight. You would not believe that the awesome voice is actually coming out from such an awkward, down-to-earth and naive-looking lady.
As of this writing, she just passed through the week 4 of the finals singing Roar by Katy Perry… Here is Dami Im singing a disco hit of the late ’70s, her live performance during the week 3 of the finals…
I guess her magnificent talent is coming from the pureness and sweetness of her heart. If she gets eliminated in the program, I think it is because she is too good for X Factor.
The ladies that I am rooting for in their respective singing battles… Dami Im of X Factor Austalia and Morisette Amon of The Voice Philippines. Both are gems. Their passions are incredible. And are definitely show stoppers…
These girls are on fire!!! Their performances every week are stunning!!!
