Love him, or hate him, Reynaldo Lapuz, is an unforgettable character on American Idol Season 7. During his audition this week , he also performed an unforgettable song that had Simon, Randy and Paula joining in the fun (or having fun at his expense.) Whatever it is you feel about Reynaldo, the fact is that we Filipinos have already embraced his oddities and crowned him our own version of William Hung.
Fansites for Reynaldo are already emerging on the internet,and you know when you've arrived when there are countless of your audtion videos being posted on YOUTUBE. There are even videos that made remixes of his own composition, that now infamous "I am your brother, your brother forever" song. I have to stop myself from adding smilies to this post as to make it sincere and earnest. ;)
We truly take pride in every Filipino, from the very talented ones, like Cheryl Burke, the two time Dancing With The Stars Champ, Leah Salonga, a Tony Award Winner, the young Charice Pempengco, the newest vocalist for Journey, Arnel Pineda, just to name a few to the odd ones like Reynaldo. After all, Filipinos have a great sense of humor, and when we see a representation of all the sides of a Filipino, we are all for it, in fact, we love it.
So for Reynaldo, go ahead kaibigan..... have fun, mabuhay ka!
