Filipino -Australian Jal Joshua is a Runner Up in Australia's Got Talent

As expected by us, our very own Jal Joshua Lebumfacil did not take the grand prize in Australia's Got Talent but he did make us proud by proving to everyone that the myth that all Filipinos can sing is true.

We wrote in this blog entry our opinion about his voice.

But it was Jal Joshua who gave the winner, Mark Vincent, a hard fight after all the other six finalists were eliminated. Jal and Mark were the last two acts.

We also salute how Jal handled the situation. He was really such a sport.

"You're really awesome. I hate opera but you're really good." This is what Jal told to Mark right after the winner's proclamation which drew admiration from the audience.

Mark performed an opera song by the late Luciano Pavarotti. His soulful rendition of Nessun Dorma is what influenced the viewers to choose him as the winner of a quarter of a million Australian dollars.

Jal sang Barry Manilow's One Voice. The performance was staged on the 15th of this month but the announcement of the winner was just last night only.

Jal received good words also from the judges of the show.

Dannii Minogue said, "The purity of your voice is so beautiful. I actually watched the show back again just to see you sing and if there was young talent time, you'll be on it so we could hear you singing every week."

Grant Denyer also said, "He continues to blow us ever since. There is no doubt we discovered an incredible young talent with a very broad future ahead. You are an unbelievable talent. Well done, an extra ordinary talent, a great discovery.

Well, to you Jal. You're such a nice kid and with proper trainings, I know you make it far in singing. Continue striving for the better.

At para naman sa mga kababayan natin na based sa Land Down Under o Australia, mapalad po na nakapasok si Jal Joshua Lebumfacil, isang batang Pinoy na 12 years old na rin, sa Finals ng Australia's Got Talent. Binisita siya sa kanyang bahay ng host ng show na si Grant Denyer upang sabihin na ibinoto siya ng publiko para isa sa mga finalists o isa sa Final 8 na magpe-perform sa Final night.

Hindi ko alam kung tapos na ang talent search dahil nahuli na yata ako sa pagsulat ng topic na ito. Pero kung sakaling hindi pa ay pwede niyo pa rin siyang iboto para maging grand winner ang proud Pinoy na si Jal.

Napanood ko ang audition piece ni Jal, para sa isang 12 year old ay magaling siya, natural na singer, pero marami pa rin dapat i-improve para lalo siyang gumaling sa larangan ng musika. Medyo mababa ang boses ni Jal sa mga matataas na nota.Hindi kaya epekto ito ng pagbibinata niya? Nasa age kasi siya ng tinatawag na puberty.

Hindi ba may isa rin Pinay na kasama sa show na ito? Mukhang wala akong makitang balita kung ano na ang nangyari kay Chelsea Castillo na pwedeng sumunod sa yapak ni Charice Pempengco. Maganda rin at mataas ang boses ng 10 year old na si Chelsea. Mukhang hindi masuwerteng napasama si Chelsea sa Final Top 8?

"Join me in Earth Hour 2009. It's a date for us on 28 March 2009 at 8:30 pm.  We will turn "OFF" whatever that is "ON" for 60 minutes only."

Iyan naman ang natanggap kong mensahe mula sa isang kaibigan na isang environmentalist. Ang Earth Hour ay isang attempt para aksiyunan ang lumalalang problema ng global warming. Ang layunin nito ay para mabawasan ang carbon emission na siyang major cause ng global warming.

Kaya hinihiling namin ang mga mambabasa ng Siete Contra Dos na pahalagaan ang panawagan na ito para na rin sa mundo. Kaya asahan ko na ZERO ang magiging traffic ng blog namin sa oras na iyon. Pero hwag niyong kalimutan bumalik dito ha! LOL

2,398 cities, towns at municipalities mula sa 83 countries ng nagbigay ng commitment sa proyektong ito.
