David Cook Wins American Idol but Renaldo Lapuz stole the show


We all know that David Cook won the American Idol over David Archuleta by a whopping 12 million votes yet a Filipino has stolen the show.


Renaldo Lapuz, a Filipino-American contest who was eliminated during the earlier auditions was given a spot on the show because of his eccentric outfit , singing the now infamous self-written song "We're Brothers Forever" which he dedicated to idol judge Simon Cowell.During his performance on the show, he was given a marching band which later on Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson joined him on stage.

The song and performance will go down in "American Idol" history and may become bigger than William Hung's rendition of "She Bangs". The infectious appeal of this song is similar to that of Tay Zonday's "Chocolate Rain", which has over 13 million views on YouTube

In my humble opinion, he might become the next William Hung who gain fame despite lacking the talent or better.
