Despite Ramiele’s exit, American Idol stays on top.
Surprisingly, the NCAA Championship got a 9th place.
Two and a half men is enough to beat the NCAA. Sad.

It happened at last. My predicted American Idol has been eliminated. After weeks and weeks of unimpressed judges and music not fitted for her style, America said bye bye to Ramiele Malubay.
We’ve seen it coming. She persevered. But this time even the Ramiele Nation did not deliver.
Ninth place is not so [...]

Since I totally missed American Idol last night (note to self: get TiVo®), I’m learning about Ramiele’s fate from TV Squad. The theme in this 6th week of American Idol is Dolly Parton:
Ramiele Malubay - “Do I Ever Cross Your Mind”
Dolly thinks she’s cute, sweet and scared. Ramiele admitted to being completely star-struck. Dolly [...]

As Simon predicted, Top-Ramen (as we affectionately call Ramiele here in Chow Squid), made it in the Top 9. Surprisingly, she was not in the bottom three after yet another unimpressive performance.
She was under the weather and did her best to belt out “Alone ” by Heart. This song choice was based on [...]

Although the judges gave a warmer reception this time, Ramiele barely squeaked by to have another chance next week. One must believe her popularity is keeping her afloat. Another Beatles-themed night did not help her cause.
Ramiele sang “I Should Have Known Better”. She should have. At least she did not suffer [...]

Not quite, although the feeling was she’s flirting with elimination. Ramiele Malubay (pronounced “mah-loo-bye”) failed to impress the judges once again. During this Beatles-themed week, she sang “In My Life”, yet another ballad.
Simon said the song did nothing for her. Randy was not moved. He was expecting for something special to [...]

Ramiele went back to ballad mode in week 3 of American Idol. She sang “Against All Odds”, a Phil Collins hit in the 80s.
Randy felt Ramiele was a bit tentative. He said, “Just go for it! You have mad vocals dude. C’mon with it.”
Simon felt her performance was old-fashioned. He was waiting [...]

It was 70s night in week 2 of American Idol. Ramiele sang “Don’t Leave Me This Way” by Thelma Houston.
The judges all agreed it was an “OK” performance. Her song, according to Paula, did not allow her to perform her magic. Simon did say she was still one of the top three singers in the [...]
