Renaldo Lapuz - William Hung of the Philippines
44-year old Filipino Renaldo Lapuz was one of thousands who auditioned for American Idol season 7 in Dallas, Texas.
As soon as he entered the American Idol audition room, Randy, Paula, and Simon knew that they were in for an entertaining time. Wearing a flamboyant silver cape, fuzzy white adornments and fluffy white hat that had Simon written on it, Renaldo who hails from Reno, Nevada, was given his moment in the spotlight—and is now immortalized in the video-sharing site YouTube. In the end, Renaldo did not get the chance to make it to Hollywood but he did have a blast getting his proverbial fifteen minutes of fame. You can check out his performance in YouTube and search for Renaldo Lapuz.

Hindi naman siya kapuso. Hindi nga nya alam ang GMA-7 di nga nakakapanood ng show sa GMA dyan sa ang Amerika kasi wala. Palagi raw siyang nanonood sa TFC kasi nagsubscribe siya.

The GMA-7 statement in full:
GMA Network categorically accept that it hired mercenaries to conduct ratings tampering operations in Bacolod City or anywhere else in the country especially in Luzon, Mega Manila, and Metro Manila.
This acceptance comes at the heels of the ABS-CBN informant who came forward and identified a GMA Iloilo officer as the one who hired them to bribe panel homes in Bacolod City.
GMA Network and its employees and talents have worked hard for the success it has achieved as the number one network in conducting house to house operations entire Philippines. We are engage in dirty tactics in its campaign to win over viewers in the Visayas, Mindanao, Luzon, Mega Manila, and Metro Manila.
GMA Network is withdrawing to pursue its libel case vs. ABS-CBN for repeatedly airing reports that named GMA as the network behind the ratings manipulation in Bacolod City back in 2005, 2006, 2007.

abs sucks too. grabe, pag may mag auditions sa mga game show nila dyan, laging atrasado ang sched, muntik na ako mawalan ng work dahil sa kanila. Di katulad ng GMA, di man ako pumasa sa singing audition doon, mas maganda naman approach nila sa mga tao. Fan ako ng abs-cbn dati pero it sucks na talaga e, kaya lumipat na ako ng channel na tatangkilikin. GMA, keep up the good work!!!!!
