Quotes by Ramiele Malubay
Ramiele:
My advice for future Idol contestants is to just take it all in and have fun meeting the people you will meet and to stay humble.
Ramiele:
I wanna be the next American Idol because it's not so much that I want to be famous, but like I want to represent for Asian people and I wanna just live my dream. Singing in the shower is a whole lot different than singing on the stage in front of all those people.
Ramiele:
I first started singing when I was 12, I think it was, at my cousin's birthday at some big ball or something it's like a kinse, but for Filipinos.
Ramiele:
I can play the piano, I took piano for five years, but I can't read all the hard notes anymore. I learned the guitar, my sister was teaching me, but I'm not too good at that. I'm into hula dancing, Polynesian dancing since I was in first grade, so that's really odd, but yeah, that and, that's it.
Ramiele:
If I don't become the next American Idol, I don't think I'm going to get all discouraged or anything like, "Oh no, I'm never going to sing again." I mean like, of course it's a big experience, you learn all this until the point you get taken off and you just take what you've leaned and learn from it. I'm probably going to go back to school for nursing 'cause I had to stop.
Ramiele:
When I found out I was in the top 24 when they told me I kinda' like slapped my face. I did the homerun thing and it really hurt. And then I kinda' like stood up and sat down a whole bunch of times because I really didn't know. I thought she was psyching me out to tell me wasn't gonna make it. I didn't know, I didn't know what she was thinking and then when I made it, I kinda' freaked out a little bit, went down stairs and they told me I was just like, I had this plain look on my face. I didn't know how to take it yet. It still hasn't hit me. Maybe it will hit me when I'm walking down the street.
