Andrew Garcia, Is That You?!

andrewGarciaAI_20100120_aatheory

All right, so I’m not exactly a big American Idol follower as the only full season I’ve watched was the Season 6 with Jordin Sparks, Paul Kim, and part-Filipino American finalist, AJ Tabaldo. And this was to support Tabaldo as Tabaldo’s family are old friends of my family. Small world, right?

I am, however, a big follower of YouTube stars and you would not believe my surprise at next week’s American Idol preview:

If you caught what I saw at the 0:12 -0:14 mark, then you’d see YouTube star, Andrew Garcia in the preview. My excitement is just as similar to the excitement in the comment feed of the YouTube clip.

I just hope that this clip isn’t giving off false hope and that Andrew Garcia is one of those that makes it to Hollywood.

I guess, I’ll be tuning in next week to see.

Paul Kim Wants to Trade It All for You

… not really, although it’s a nice fantasy.

The where is he now, former American Idol contestant released the single, Trade It All (Remix) featuring Lack of Flaws on iTunes this past March.  The original version dropped December 2008.

Despite some cookie cutter R&B lyrics, the words and melody are easy on the ears.  And there’s no denying that the singer/songwriter can soulfully belt out a tune. 

Listen to the track on Paul “PK” Kim on Myspace Music.  In addition, there are more sensual songs highlighted on the page. 

Which songs would make your heart Trade It All for Paul?

Throwbacks: The Anti-William Hung

Flashback to 2007’s American Idol, Season 6.  Jordin Sparks was crowned the new Idol, while Sanjaya Malakar received more buzz for his wacky hairstyles than his mediocre vocals.  But what about the other top 22 out of the 24 hopefuls?  Regardless if the contestants had pipes or not, there was always ‘that one’ who left a mark on viewers.

Remember Paul Kim from the Los Angeles auditions?  The raspy, R&B voiced pool boy who put the kibosh on Willy Hung’s make it stop ode to Ricky Martin’s She Bangs?

Even though his stint was short-lived, performing barefoot and all, Kim created an eye opener.  Which is simply, ASIANS CAN SING and are just as good as today’s popular American entertainers. 

Music should be about music, period.

Paul Kim is a stoner

Transylmania_20091204_aatheory

There are two characters Asians seem to play in Hollywood. Ninjas and stoners. John Cho, Aaron Yoo, and now we can add Paul Kim to the pot smokers list. Translymania directed by David and Scott Hillenbrand is your typical, crappy comic flick about a bunch of college kids who study abroad in Romania. But what makes this movie slightly different from the others? Vampires, ofcourse! Sounds like a doozy.
