AI Hype
Filipinos’ hype on Jessica Sanchez was a clear indication that majority of our people can easily be distracted and controlled by media and anything that has an ounce of Filipino blood. The day when Lady Gaga supporters emerged was actually of more relevance than American Idol. Even CJ Corona’s trial was almost forgotten.
Jessica Sanchez was favored globally, but Phillip Phillips was favored more in the United States of America. The logic goes: no matter what the world says, America always wins.
What if American Idol is their way of claiming the world’s attention, only to shatter their expectations in the end?
