Hey! we have one too this year!? niceeee i thought there wasnt gona be any this year.

i'm not trying to be cocky or whatnot. but ya'll know that theres at least going to be a filipino tryin' out for AI.

Thats for sure! so hey got her audition video?

yo. wtf.. this chick is only 16?

nah.. i dont. lol. she's friends with the other asian guy on AI. Paul Kim

her voice is very deep! at 1st i thought it was a man singing! LOL

i juz hope the best for her!! prbbly winner of AI !!

hahha woow i didn't think there'd be people knowing i made it on ai since my audition never aired.

sounds alright

lol hi olivia!

With the number of Pinoys or thereabouts in the latter stages of AI in recent years, I'm starting to wonder if Philippine Ancestry gives you an automatic bye into the later rounds!

She doesn't do it for me personally.

hi! haha. so howd anyone know i was on ai? there were a couple of us that didnt show at all besides in the background.

^shut up hoe. you didnt make it. get lost

So i listened to a couple of her youtube stuff thats on her page... this girl has ALOT of potential... With a vocal coach this girl can be deadly...

yay. now fil-ams have a reason to be giddy next year.

you shut up. for your information i was the youngest in the competition and one of the last girls cut before top 24. during hollywood week i was the only one who got a standing ovation from the fellow contestants after my song. if youre filipino, then you aren't a very nice one, seeing as most filipinos are proud of fellow filipinos. if you go behind the scenes in american idol you'll have a different view on things.

AJ Tabaldo should have moved on to the Top 12 last year. But Howard Stern and Sanjaya f##ked it up.

Hopefully this guys tries once again after refining his voice.

omg... is this really you? girl will u be on AI this seasom? i hope u make it.

What are the chances. Anybody here planning to audition one day? I might try of these days. Not this year.

until now I still don't get it why sanjaya made the top 12
he's like a skinny version of michael jackson....

Howard Stern thought it would be funny if everybody voted for Sanjaya to trump his friend who was texting crazy voting for his favorite person to win. And so many people voted for Sanjaya going along with the joke.

SEROUSLY...
really

LOL

I was so glad when sanjaya got eliminated though
he had an annoying voice...

A lot of other people deserved his place. But I can see his appeal to other people. Here's the vid of AJ being eliminated when it was between Sanjaya and him. Sanjaya was shocked that he was staying. Paula and Randi thinks it was mistake that he has to go.
AJ Eliminated

lets hope this year
a filipino will be in the top 12
unlike last year... AJ got eliminated too early

Actually, I think it was in the top 16. Very very close. I think Sway Penala and AJ should have made it. Too bad Filipinos don't vote in record numbers anymore like we did for Jasmine and Camile. Jasmine basically got to the top 3 because of the Filipino vote, Latoya I felt should have won.

Anyway, lets hope. I hope this guy goes again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3FzrNv7JIg
He got eliminated in the Top 44.

yeah. sorry that reply to whoever the person is was kind of obnoxious. i just dont understand how people can be mean like that. no one really knows what ai is about unless theyve been through it. so are you filipino? did you see the filipino guy last week renaldo lapuz? he was sooo funny! haha i be hell be on tfc soon.

It is not her. Obviously.

you are not Olivia Jasmine
obviously...

poser

hahah. wow. i swear i am lol i typed my name to find out if i had anything on the internet and found this forum. you have to be famous to have posers! im not famous yet :-P if u guys are in the bay area u shud come watch whenever it is i next perform

^we need proof..LOL..

Honk if you iz really Olivia.

I wanna bonk if you iz really olivia

I don't think anybody believes you. Have you any evidence to substanciate your claims? Plus, why would you name yourself your name when you can choose any alias, then put evidence later. Isn't it strange that right after the thread was made, you showed up? Unless Olivia is an incredibly vain person who searches her name every single day, the chances are astronomical.

lol yeah i have evidence. what kinda evidence do u want? i'm not vain haha my bro and i just wanted to see if there was anything about me online after i went on ai and i found this forum.

show us some candid photos or better yet... IM us...
LOL

Give us a picture of you infront of your computer, tongue sticking out with peace signs on both hands, and slightly tilting your head. like ;p

and bring a paper and write I AM OLIVIA JASMINE

hi olivia !
I listened to your myspace tracks.
can I contribute a little opinion? (among thousands..)
your voice is very strong but difficult to handle, you will improve to the very top level when your personality grows as expected, as you are quite young for that type of voice. never give up diligent professional training.
I guess you know oleta adams, heather small, jaya *) (the filipina), joan baez, anggun... by that I also I mean long-time career.
in the current mainstream pop there isn't such a type of voice thatI know, and their listeners are a bit older.
so perhaps AI seeks for more pop than you may reasonably offer and they don't proselytize with eclectic styles, they adress rather the prime time TV couch potatoes.

when you are interested in doing pop or hip-hop, you need to be very innovative. try to be very funky (timing-wise) and explore the "coolness factor".
you need a top-notch mixing engineer who has skills with asian voices. this would rarely be the beat producer. but you may aim for someone like rob lewis well everyone wants to work with him.. the reason is that he is a full-scale musician first, not just a technician and businessman.
a standard 101 setting of a vocal channel in pop is made for weaker voices and can easily be overdriven by you. then it starts to "shout", distort, and sound sterile or fatiguing. get the best "analog vocal chain" possible - studios spend easily 4000 bucks for such purpose. home recording: stay far away from the "red lights"! try different room sizes and mic distances, get the real room a bit involved. you may try an exciter plugin and a delay ~20ms to make it more "crisp".
also avoid "autotune" except for dance/house etc genres. avoid effects, make the voice very dry, just a very short room reverb with low density. for retro fun, you may experiment with old analog-delays.
also you may aim to involve other singers for harmony vocals, think of gospel, what if aretha sings every voice in a complex choir arrangement, she would literally blow it up. but depends on your versatility.
when budget allows, use a steinway grand whenever you need a piano for a release production. I mean never ever an electronic imitation.
a big voice may sound fatiguing and nerve-dragging, when surrounded by cheap, small sound sources.
this would be something a major label can cure, but don't sell out just for recording budget. better get together a good live band.

this is a quick guess, but thats my hobby
(i have co-produced a local high-school musical and played with the band hehe)

this would be jaya. watch out how soft she sounds. the vocal producer is obviously top.

thanks for your opinion i appreciate it. the songs i recorded that ive put up arent professional and i just did them for myself and people who asked for it. i'm actually going to be working with someone really big soon and i am trying to get a band together. and as for american idol, my style of singing or performing had nothing to do with me getting cut. you would never completely understand what happens behind the scenes unless u try out. i got a unanimous yes from all 3 judges and simon was the most positive. the judges really never said anything bad about me throughout hollywood week. and harmonies are no prob for me to do and its a lot easier than getting other people to try and do them. i sing in a professional choir that tours around the world too we're called VOENA. idk those singers that you mentioned besides jaya. when i was 10 years old i absolutely looved her! the first tagalog songs i learned were jaya!

omg gurl... i just realized. ur on my friends list on myspace! i think u shoulda gone thru instead of shyamali. altho i think they rarely put asian girls through. jasmine trias was rare & that was awhile back. but seriously, ur so pretty & u got mad talent.
