credits to the owner(s) of the photos 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
