American Idol, Australian Idol and Asian Idol… In One?
Asian Idol will crown their winner next week during the two-part season finale on December 15th and 16th. So far, it looks like Mau Marcelo is expected to win considering how strong her online support is, according to the latest polls. There’s a detailed and complicated breakdown of the voting system - if you’re interested, click here.
Interestingly, American Idol winner Taylor Hicks, Australian Idol champ Guy Sebastian and Filipino band Rivermaya had been invited to perform in the regional tilt.
Well, that is an intriguing lineup if I ever saw one. If I’m able to get my hands on video, I’ll put it up here!

I don’t think you can select a winner based on online polls. Especially one like this where people are voting pretty much entirely on nationality. All the poll really proves is that lots of Filipinos voted and that…well, not a lot of Indians did…at all… ._.

when it comes to an international level competition, i think voting by sms is invalid… in my opinion, they should let the judges to choose the winner…

JACLYN VICTOR is the only idol from asia that has the package to compete internationally… she’d better than kelly clarkson, taylor hicks, guy sebastian, ruben studdard n of course the worse ever american idol, fantasia barrino… she has the voice though she’s not as pretty as phuong vy… Jac is the best!!!

I think Fantasia Barrino is great!!! You don’t have to criricize her for not having the best face…. the talent matters… If Jaclyn got the best voice, Fantasia got best heart…… go FANTASIA!!!

The best thing that Filipinos can offer is the greatness in singing!!! Mau Marcelo is one of the filipino singers who has the capability to amaze audience and judges…. Hearing negative feedbacks about Filipino singers is considered constructive criticisms…….

i hope in the coming asian idol,voters must learn a lesson that this is a singing contest and not a beauty contest.Mr ken lim believed that hady has the look,in fairness,abhijeet is more handsome and got sex appeal than hady.

i think Hady is not deserving to win the title,its true because he, himself doesnt believe he won.Voting by sms is not reliable and unfair.But when you rely in true talents and great voice,i think it should be mau marcelo. She really deserves to win.
