Thia Megia, in the bottom three! Was she saved? (Video)

It seemed like the good comments Thia Megia received from the judges for her 'Motown' performance were not enough to at least spare the youngest contestant to be in the 'bottom three' or the 3 finalists with the least number of votes in the world famous American Idol Season 10.

For the first time, 16 year-old Filipino American Thia Megia was among the three who got the lowest scores in the nationwide voting. She was with Casey Abrams and Stefano Langone who was given heavy comments by the Judges during the 'performance night', yesterday. On the other hand, Thia's was among the favorite performances during that night. She delivered an upbeat rendition of the classic hit "Heatwave" and received commendations from the three judges for taking a risk and coming out of her shell. And thus, it was a surprise to see her land in the 'bottom three'.

But was Thia saved?

Yes. Luckily, she was. And also Stefano making Casey perform for the judges' one-time 'save power'. And yes, the judges did use the 'power' on Casey, adding a pressure on the Top 11 finalists to impress everyone with their performances next week since 2 of them are sure to go home!

Check out the video of Thia Megia's "Heatwave" performance HERE.

After receiving heavy criticisms last week with a ballad performance, the youngest contestant in American Idol Season 10, 16 year-old (Yes, she just turned 16.) Filipino-American Thia Megia redeems herself with her performance of "Heatwave" by Martha and the Vandellas during the "Motown Night" episode of the talent search on March 24.

Her upbeat rendition of the classic hit made the judges commend her for taking a risk and coming out of her shell.

Judge Jennifer Lopez said, "Okay! Now I feel like we're scratching the surface a little bit with you right there. It was great to see you let loose like that. Wow! Who knew? I didn't and I wasn't sure but now that we're going there. I need you to dig even deeper each week. You know you're 16 years old and I don't expect you to have the live experience in the world to bring what you need to bring to the lyrics but part of performing is acting and you have to bring that every time, so always make sure you connect with the lyrics so you can bring even more because I just see, now I know, you got it in you."

Randy Jackson agreed on J.Lo's comment saying, "The reason you're here, cause we knew you had it in you right? And the public is definitely resounding with that because you've been here every week. This new thing is a good thing because I know this has been tough for you the last couple of weeks. But I got to say it's about taking chances. You took a chance tonight and you didn't sing a really safe ballad although I still feel you can dig deeper and you can do more with it. Take more vocal chances. You can really sing and I want you to believe and I'm happy to see you move up a notch tonight with something different, congrats on that. Take some chances, continue! push!"

Meanwhile, Steven Tyler had a very short but sweet critique.

"You've taken a step out, I love it. Just great! I'm good. I'm good with it."

As the results of the online and phone voting come out tonight, another contestant is going home. He will be let to perform and the judges will decide whether they will save the contestant him or not.

Amazing guest performances (as usual) also await viewers tonight. :D

Thia Megia bores Randy Jackson with her performance

The only Filipino-American left and the youngest contestant in American Idol Season 10 Thia Megia once again sang a ballad during the "performance night" of the remaining 12 contestants. She sang a song from her birth year, the 1995 Vanessa Williams hit "Color of the Wind".

Judge Randy Jackson said he find it boring and he felt like he was watching beauty pageant.

"There was nothing special, unique about it. You have the talent. Maybe a different kind of song next time. Dig a little deeper, take some chances cause you can sing. You have a big voice but it's only so safe and it was so boring tonight,” he said.

Thia defended herself by explaining that she chose the song because it fits to "what's going on in the world today."

Judge Jennifer Lopez also commented on Thia's vibrato saying, "I'm not sure if it's nervousness or that's the quality of your vibrato. Either way I don't wanna think about that. So I feel that needs a little bit of working on too. So push out of the box then come out next week and kill it.”

We will find out later tonight if these comments from the judges would send15-year old Thia Megia home.

American Idol 10 says 'goodbye' to Ashton Jones | Thia Megia saved!

Last Thursday, the Top 13 contestants of the 10th season of the talent search "American Idol" performed a song from their favorite artists. Immediately after the live episode, viewers were given a chance to vote for their picks - to those who does not know this happens every 'performance night' where its results will determine who gets to be eliminated from the show the next episode, the 'results night'.

During yesterday's 'results night' episode, the 'bottom three', the three contestants who got the least number of votes, were announced. They were Ashton Jones, Karen Rodriguez and Haley Reinhart. Ashton Jones who sang the Diana Ross song "When You tell Me That You Love Me" was sent home.

This means that Filipino-American Thia Megia got enough votes to be in the competition still. However, I hope that she would perform better next week and develop a more lively and interesting character so that she'll go along way in the competition.

One of the contestants, Casey Adams, was not present during last night's episode since he was hospitalized. Adam Lambert and Diddy-Dirty Money also guested the show last night.

What happened to Clint Jun Gamboa in American Idol 10?

I have been religiously watching the show American Idol 10, lately. I got more excited about this season since two Noypis (Thia Megia and Clint Jun Gamboa) did great on their auditions and they were both selected by the judges to be in the Top 24. Last night's episode, though, which revealed the Top 13 finalists, one of them (Clint Jun) got eliminated and was not even given a chance by the judges to perform for the 3 wildcard slots - the show's viewers voted for the 10 Finalists and the judges chose 3 wildcard contestants.

Oh well, since I think Clint Jun performed well, I think the reason he was voted off from the talent search would have to be the Hollywood Week - Group Round incident. Some viewers must have hated him after he dismissed the charming 15 year-old Jaycee Badeaux from their group during that round. (Read more HERE.)

I am sorry for him. But yeah, Thia is still there! I hope she would do better performances in the next episodes since other contestants are really great as well! She so mahinhin, so Filipina but she should be a little lively I guess since she is still so young.

:D

Thia Megia enters American Idol 10 finals, Clint Jun Gamboa voted off

Filipino-American Thia Megia captured the hearts of the American public and gathered enough votes to continue her quest of becoming the next American Idol.


The 15-year old singer from California, delivered a powerful perfomance of the the song "Out Here On My Own", Wednesday night (Thursday morning in the Philippines). Last night, Thia was proclaimed as one of the 13 finalists of the talent search after the votes from the show's viewers were tallied.

"You sang Out Here on My Own. Steven was blown away by your perfect pitch. Jennifer loved it," American Idol host Ryan Seacrest said as he delivered the results to the teenager.

Meanwhile, fellow Filipino-American Clint Jun Gamboa failed to charm the voters and was among the 11 casualties of last night's elimination episode.

Filipino-Americans Clint Jun Gamboa, Thia Megia join American Idol 10 Top 24!

American Idol Season 10 is getting more exciting for Noypi viewers since 2 of our "kababayans" made it to the Top 24!

credits to the owner(s) of the photos

Clint Jun Gamboa, a 26 year-old karaoke bar host, and Thia Megia, a 15 year-old student, have both proven that they have the potential of becoming the next American Idol. They have been selected as 2 of the 24 finalists of the show who will perform live next week.

Clint Jun Gamboa is from Long Beach, California. He said to have won one of the biggest karaoke contests in Southern California, 2 years in a row. He also wrote a song for the 2003 movie, "The Room".

Stigma still surrounds Clint Jun after the Jacee Badeaux incident (read here) but he has been showing that he got what it takes to be the next Idol. Noone can't deny that he got a powerful voice.

Mountain House, California resident Thia Megia previously joined "America's Got Talent" where she was a quarterfinalist. She also appeared on The Filipino Channel (TFC) after the talent competition. She started writing her own songs as early as 6 years old.

Thia's American Idol journey has been flawless so far. The judges seem to like the amazing talent of the teenager.

Although I find it annoying sometimes since some are exaggerating when they use it, but Clint and Thia are truly Filipino Pride. I wish them all the luck in the world since they already got the talent. :D

Thia Megia, Clint Jun Gamboa advance off to final round of Hollywood Week (American Idol 10)

The Filipino pride Thia Megia and Clint Jun Gamboa are doing well on their quest to be the next American Idol.


During the third round of the Hollywood Week of American Idol Season 10 where they have to perform solo, Thia and Clint captured the hearts of the judges once again with their impressive performances.

The 15-year old student Thia Megia performed her rendition of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World". While Clint Jun Gamboa, a 26 year-old Karaoke Bar host, showed his confidence doing his cover of the classic "Georgia on my Mind".

They both got the judges approval to be sent off to the final round of the Hollywood Week. They are now a step closer to be one of the Top 24 finalists who will perform before live audience and broadcast.

Half-Filipino Clint Jun Gamboa off to next round of American Idol 10

If you're wondering if the asian-looking guy Clint Jun Gamboa who belted out the song "Get Ready" during the group round of the Hollywood Week in American Idol Season 10, is a Filipino?


Yes he is. I read this on the comments of his old Youtube video when someone asked him his roots even before he joined the singing contest. He said he is Half-Pinoy. Check his Youtube channel HERE.


The karaoke host and his group in the second round of Hollywood Week got a little controversial when they dismissed 15 year-old Jaycee Badeaux since the latter cannot catch up with their choreography. Jacee ended up searching for a new group while fighting back in tears.

It was a good call for Clint's group since they were able to deliver one of the best performances of this round. Clint was shocked though when Steven Tyler asked his groupmates to step forward leaving him behind alone, only to find out that they all made it through to the next round.

Jennifer Lopez said, "Come'on Jun! You know you're going through!"

Clint is off to the next round which will be aired tonight. He has to capture the hearts of the judges once again with a solo performance.

Clint Jun Gamboa admitted he is a Half-Noypi on Youtube... The 15 year-old Thia Megia also I believe is a Filipino since she was featured on TFC... I hope they would make it to the Top 10. I wonder if there are anymore Filipinos on American Idol Season 10. It would be much more exciting for us, right? :D
