Ramiele’s busy life after ‘Idol’
MANILA, Philippines—Like some lucky castoffs before her, Filipino-American Ramiele Malubay is busier than ever—that is, even after being voted off the reality talent search “American Idol” last week.
A member of her fans’ club sent Inquirer Entertainment an e-mail detailing Malubay’s TV appearances on several popular US shows, including “Live With Regis and Kelly” and “Ellen” (Monday), and “The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet” (Tuesday).
Malubay is the latest Pinoy performer to be featured on comic Ellen DeGeneres’ gabfest, following Charice Pempengco and Arnel Pineda.
A YouTube clip shows Ellen praising the petite Pinay for her “fantastic voice”—particularly in her farewell performance last week.
On “Ellen,” Malubay sang her AI signature song, Dusty Springfield’s “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me,” which earned raves from judges Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell in the show’s first week.
Last Friday, she granted a phone interview with US journalists and the Inquirer.
Throughout the phoner, arranged by Star World (which airs the show in Asia), she candidly admitted her struggle to recapture the magical moment during that first week.
She offered several theories on what went wrong in her AI journey, and discussed the possibility of coming back to the Philippines and pursuing a recording career à la Jasmine Trias.
You’ve probably heard of Jasmine Trias’ success in the Philippines after AI. Have you considered following in her footsteps?
Well, I definitely want to go back home … (simply) because it’s home.
