'American Idol' buzz: Renaldo Lapuz, Paul Marturano
IDOL’ BUZZ
The ballad of Renaldo
According to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, this season's most buzzed-about "Idol" tryout, Renaldo "We're Brothers Forever" Lapuz, is a 45-year-old former tricycle taxi driver from the Philippines, who came to this country in 2004 and has worked as a janitor for Wal-Mart and Greyhound, among other places.
In a phone interview, Lapuz told the paper he's "single and a permanent immigrant" of the United States and that his style of music is ballads, adding "I like serenading."
"We're Brothers Forever" (aka "I Am Your Brother") is not the only composition of the contestant whose "Idol" costume might best be described as an angelic pimp-wizard combo and was inspired, according to Lapuz, by the film "Gladiator." "In 1998, I recorded 10 songs in the Philippines, in a recording studio ... I translated two songs into English," Lapuz said.
