Are you rooting for Jessica Sanchez on American Idol Season 11? I do and it's not because she's has Filipino blood but because she definitely is the best. Now that she's in the Top 3, more and more Filipinos are getting excited to see her win.

Here's her recent rendition of Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing." You can see in Steven Tyler's face that he was very satisfied with her version.

The second season of The Walking Dead is gonna be shown starting October 16, 2011 in the US. My husband and I are such fans and we watched all 7 episodes of the first season. I seldom watch thrillers and horror flicks but this one really made me a convert.

In Season 2, Rick Grimes, his family, and the other survivors continue their journey to Fort Benning after the explosion of the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. I expect that the group's going to have a thrilling cat and mouse chase with the zombies again not to mention the drama that will ensue between the characters.

Sadly, my cable network provider doesn't provide the channel where this series is shown. I may just look for a site where I can download videos of the show for the meantime. I can't afford to be left behind on the latest about The Walking Dead!

I admit. I am still in shock that the Tender Puppy actually won this season's American Idol. I mean, judging from last night's perfomances, Simon Cowell did have a point when he said that Adam Lambert won over Kris Allen by a mile!

But this is one of those popularity contests, so... there.

In fairness to Kris Allen, I still think that he deserved to be where he is now. Throughout the competition, he has showed how a well-rounded musician he is. While Adam wowed the audience with his many surprises, Kris was able to gain admirers by not being confined to his guitar but also playing good music with keyboard. I also read that he plays the viola. Probably, that's an edge that he has from Adam aside from having really good looks.

I also think that American Idol voters, once again, got confident that Adam might win the competition after all that they didn't bother to vote at all. Also, Danny Gokey's fans might have rooted for Kris Allen instead of Adam Lambert.

American Idol is just their first step to global stardom. We had American Idols whose stars never shone as bright as those of Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwoood, and David Cook. We also had runner-ups like Chris Daughtry who did not need the grand title to establish a spot in the music industry, right? Last year's American Idol, David Cook, and his runner-up, David Archuleta are both doing great in their own music genres. Let's just see what the future has in store for Kris Allen and Adam Lambert.
