An Interview with a Former Idol Hopeful

Today I got to chance to talk with Idol Wannabe Apple Chiu from Philippine Idol Season 1. Through instant messaging, Apple detailed her co idol hopefuls whereabouts. Gian (as everybody knows is in SOP), Mau, Jan, and Pow are gracing corporate events and doing gigs, Drae is under bellhouse (don't know what that is), Reymond is of course with stages, Jelli apparently is a host of a show in Channel 4. She further explains that she (Apple), Arms, and Ken perform at Shangri-La EDSA every Tuesday.

In our short chat, Apple confirms that the rumours about PI 2 not happening this year is true.

On American Idol, she says that she is happy to see her bet (Blake Lewis) make it to the Final 2.

When asked about whether the PI contestants were still in touch with ABC 5, she says that they are still in communication with ABC 5 indirectly.

Apple says that their performances (in Shangri La EDSA) are uploaded to YouTube. I found these:

Apple Chiu and Ken Dingle sing Umagang Kay Ganda during their first gig at Edsa Shangrila (May 1)



Apple, Ken, and Arms aka AKA sing Oh Lori at Edsa Shangrila (May 1)

Apple, Ken, and Arms, aka AKA sing So Much in Love during their first gig at Edsa Shangrila (May 1)

Apple, Ken, and Arms aka AKA sing More Today than Yesterday during their first gig at Edsa Shangrila (May 1)

Apple, Ken, and Arms aka AKA sing The World Will Sing Our Song during their first gig at Edsa Shangrila (May 1)


Apple, Ken, and Arms aka AKA sing Stop Look Listen during their first gig at Edsa Shangrila (May 1)
