Once again, i did not manage to catch the AI3 results show from the comfort of my living room & had to be content with a very shaky telecast on TVmobile. but then again, I never liked the results show anyway...
The producers changed the giving-out-the-results system; so instead of sitting down comfortably on the red sofas while their fates are being sealed one by one by Ryan Secrest, the contestants were grouped into threes according to the amount of votes they obtained.
group A - Jennifer Hudson, LaToya London & George Huff
group B - John Stevens, Jon Peter Lewis & Fantasia Barrino
group C - Jasmine Trias, Camile Velasco & Diana Degarmo
Honestly, this new system is just a waste of time. By logical deduction, any group with Camile in it would be in deep shit whereas the one with George & LaToya might as well start walking back to the red couches. And I was right... with the exception of Jasmine, my predictions were pretty accurate (cant u just see how smug i am?? hehe). I'm just peeved that mr red-haired crooner wasnt in the bottom three... Seriously, his gazillion of fans probably either need a major lesson in objectivity or need to have their ears dug out.
Anyhow, I've been in love with Camile's raspy yet soulful vocals eversince i saw her during the Hawaii auditions.. I think she's got loads of potential but sadly, after 4 weeks of competition, she still hasn't shown any significant improvement (she did, however, manage to conquer her nerves to a certain extent). On the whole though, I hope all her critics bear in mind that she's only seventeen and she's got a long way to go before she matures as a performer and as a singer. While I'm sad to see her go, I'm also confident that we'll see more of Camile Velasco in the future... ALL hail the Hawaiian Lauryn Hill~!!! ;)
