Wandergirl Speaks

What do Jasmin Trias, Camille Velasco, and Ramiele Malubay have in common besides they’re all Fil-Ams?

Right, they were all products of American Idol, an American reality-TV talent show that produced a lot of hitmakers in the music world. Despite criticisms of frequently imitating international music artists there’s no denying the fact that we have a handful of our “kababayans” who’ve proven their unquestionable singing prowess worldwide. And now, another Fil-Am is beautifully serenading millions of viewers with her beautiful voice. What’s more: she’s only 14 years old and she got the nod of the three celebrity judges of America’s Got Talent during a June 30 episode.

I watched the Youtube video of Thia Megia who belted out a Jennifer Holiday hit “I Am Changing” and can I just say that I was totally in awe with her song rendition. I mean, she got a really good voice for a 14 year old. She looked a bit frizzy during the episode though (I guess it’s because of the hair), but nonetheless, I sure think she’s got a really winning place in the show. Way to go Thia!
