Phillip Phillips & Joshua Ledet Performances on American Idol 11 Top 3 Show



Beggin' - Phillip Phillips

Phillip Phillips sang  “Beggin” by Madcon on the American Idol 11 Top 3 show. He also performed “Disease” by Matchbox 20 and “We’ve Got Tonight” by Bob Seger.

Imagine - Joshua Ledet

Joshua Ledet sang “Imagine” by John Lennon on the American Idol 11 Top 3 show. He also sing “I’d Rather Go Blind” by Etta James and “No More Drama” by Mary J. Blige.

My Prediction.
Based on their performances tonight, I think there's no more reason for Phillip Phillips to stay longer on the competition. Yeah, it's given that he is a good singer, great guitarist and charming - a total package I must say, but , I think, his performance tonight is not enough for him to stay and go to the finals. 

"My All" - Jessica Sanchez on American Idol 11 Top 3 Show



Jessica Sanchez performed Mariah Carey's song, "My All" during the American Idol Top 3 Performance Show

I must say, Jessica really sounds like Mariah. Great song choice for her! And If you will ask me, This performance of her is my favorite. It edge out her "I Don't Want A Miss A Things" [watch here] and "Ill Be There" performances tonight.

 Judges Thoughts:

Randy Jackson said “Yo, I mean, that was absolutely beautiful. We tell people never to do Mariah, but I’m tellin’ you what, that was one of the best Mariah songs sung on TV.”

Steven Tyler said “When you sing, you make people hang on your every note. I hope you get used to encores.”

Jennifer Lopez said “Hard song. You did it so beautifully and you did it in your own way.”

"I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" - Jessica Sanchez on American Idol 11 Top 3 Show


I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing - Jessica Sanchez

Jessica Sanchez sang “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing” by Aerosmith during the American Idol 11 Top 3 performance show. 

I really love Jessica but I don't like this performance of her. The beginning was boring. Albeit she made a moment in the end, that's not enough I think. 

I'll Be There - Jessica Sanchez
Jessica's last song for American Idol 11 Top 3 performance show is a Jackson 5 classic, "I'll Be There". It was good not great but not bad atleast for my taste! :)

Support Jessica Sanchez.

Survivor Season 25 named "Survivor 25 : Philippines"


'

MANILA, Philippines- In a 1-minute-20-second video, "Survivor: Philippines" has been officially unveiled. Three mystery contestants from previous episodes will return to the special 25th season shot entirely in the Caramoan, Camarines Sur.

In the preview video, Survivor host Jeff Probst calls the Philippines "one of our most treacherous locations yet."

"Here, thousands of islands are scattered over the Southeast Asian Sea hide a dark and sinister secret," Probst says, "The waters are teeming with ravenous sharks and the land provides no refuge. Deadly snakes rule the jungles and furious storms break even the strongest spirits."

There will be three "tribes" at the start of the season. As per Survivor tradition, they will carry indigenous names. The "Survivor: Philippines" tribes will be: "Matsing" (Monkey), "Tandang" (Rooster) and "Kalabaw" (Water Buffalo).

Manny Pacquaio vs US Pres. Barack Obama on Same Sex Marriage



MANILA - US President Barack Obama's backing of same-sex marriage has called out a heavyweight opponent: Philippine congressman and world boxing champion, Manny Pacquiao.

In an interview with Examiner.com, in his Los Angeles home last week, the WBO welterweight champion stressed: "God's words first."

He also said people should "just believe" what the Bible says.

"God only expects man and woman to be together and to be legally married, only if they so are in love with each other," the Examiner quoted Pacquiao. "It should not be of the same sex so as to adulterate the altar of matrimony, like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah of Old."

He also said that the US should set a tone on morality for other nations to follow.

Pacquiao said blocking the legalization of same-sex marriage should begin in the "high offices" of the US government themselves.

On the same day as his interview, Pacquiao participated in a Bible study session. He recently turned his back on gambling and drinking, and rekindled his faith.

After his June 9 bout with American Timothy Bradley in Las Vegas, he plans to hold a preaching session "open to all religions."

Pacquiao is also known for his stance against a Reproductive Health Bill in the Philippines.
