AI7 PICKS: 1ST WEEK OF AUDITIONS

Out of the two cities where American Idol went this week there are probably around 4 people who caught my attention with their singing talents but these are the two hopefuls who really stoodout for me.

PIA EASLEY

Got blown away by this black model/musician/back-up singer. She's stylish, she's cool and she has great talent! She's the best I've seen this season, so far. I'll definitely keep an eye on her. My other pick after the jump.

DREW POPPELREITER

Well I chose him coz he can definitely sing, not as good as Pia but he has great potential, more importantly, I think he's kinda hot! Farm boy is a bit of a turn on! Can't wait to see how far he'll go. lol!

WHO'D BE THE NEXT AMERICAN IDOL?

I've been following this show ever since Fantasia's season coz that's the only time it was broadcasted locally here in third world Philippines and as always I'm really excited! I'm wishing they'll minimize the whole stupid auditions with all the crazy people trying out coz it's always been really boring for me and it's the 7th season! Think we already seen enough of it. Can't wait to see 'great' and 'sexy' talents, though! Local broadcast schedules after the jump.

American Idol airs in the PH at QTV every Wednesdays and Thursdays 6PM with a replay at 8PM and weekend replays every Saturdays and Sundays at 4PM.

BURO NORTH'S SURF SHOWER

Came across this really innovative piece of technology by Buro North. Basically, they had this idea of creating a handheld hot shower for surfers in response to the cold weather and the lack of beach showers when it was developed in winter 2003. More about the surf shower after the jump.

What's so cool about it is that it produces hot water from being charged by a vehicle cigarette lighter and a mobile phone charger in 30 seconds. Isn't that fantastic?

I'm not really a surfer but hell I wanna have one of this thing! Summer is almost here and I'm sure this will come handy after a long day at the beach before hitting some fancy restaurant for some snacks and all that stuff.

AUF WIEDERSEHEN

OH MY GOSH! This was probably the most shocking Project Runway auf wiedersehen-moment for me, so far, this season. It was a showdown between Rami, Christian and Kevin at the bottom three and I gotta agree Kevin had the weakest design this week, his model's general look didn't help either, but I wish he was given a second chance. Why did I say that? After the jump.

I wish he was given a second chance coz I honestly thought he's one of the designers to beat. His works were consistently awesome. He even won several challenges which includes an individual challenge, 2 group challenges, second in the men's wear challenge and if you ask me that's a pretty great record in just 7 episodes! Sadly, it wasn't enough to save him in the first challenge he blew.

Guess this is the perfect example of what Heidi meant by, 'One day you're in and the next day you're out.'
