so, try not to miss them!

i was sooooo excited to know that john park made it through! u don't want to know how my reaction was. now i hope he'll get LOTS and LOTS of votes from americans.

Go John Park!

the latest american idol audition hasn't been aired here yet but part of the result of who made it to the top 24 is already on the net. my dad happened to be the one browsing through it. and i so happened to be in the living room at that time. :)

so i instantly (yet gracefully) grabbed the mouse (of my dad's laptop) and scrolled through the article. one by one, the lucky contestants who made it through were revealed. with hopeful eyes, i kept scrolling. when i almost reached the end of the article, i sort of pouted in sadness. where's john park??!! i want so badly for him to make it. he's really good in singing and he has stage presence. plus...HE'S KOREAN!!! (i know...not japanese but close enough.) maybe korean-american or pure korean who's an american. idk but i'm rooting for him from the moment i saw him in his chicago audition. apparently, i'm not the only one in my circle of friends who wants to see him in the later stage of the show. :D yay! anyway.....back to my pouting earlier own. i felt a little sad and worried that john park didn't make it to the next round. then i was relieved to read that there are 17 more finalists to be revealed tomorrow. like...phew!

i'm very much confident that he'll make it as one of the top 24 'cos his voice is great, his personality seems likable, he has charisma, and he's pretty good-looking (he's asian...duh! :p or half-asian...idk). but anything can happen.

u know what? i can already see myself buying his albums in the future (if he will have any). xD
