Hollywood Auditions: Danny Noriega and Ramiele Malubay

I am liking this set of auditions which includes rumored Filipinos Danny Noriega and Ramiele Malubay. The bit by Michael Johns singing "Come On Baby Light My Fire" is really good.

I LOVE DANNY NORIEGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i promise 2 vote for him a BILLION times every week!!!!

Anonymous said...

how the hell do you know that he's filipino? he doesnt look filipino at all unless he's a mestizo and it's more likely he's mexican. it's more embarassing than anything when filipinos try to claim anything spanish-sounding as their own..in fact it's quite pathetic

Mariana Reyes. said...

Seriously, I laughed my ass off when I read that Danny Noriega is filipino.
First, the surname Noriega is spanish, idiots and he looks like a mexican.
I just laugh when people says stupids things like those.

Anonymous said...

You stupid Idiot Mariana Reyes. He is A Filipino, born to a filipina mother who then carried his mother's maiden name. If I have to remind you with history, The Philipines has been colonized by the stupid spaniards for 300 years. Need I say more how most Filipinos have spanish last names?
Idiot!

hahahahhaha. Funny!!! I love the comment above. Bravo!

Mariana Reyes is truly uninformed. Please take a global history class.

danny noriega is not filipino he's my cousin and he's mexican get your facts right

paty said...

you filipinos are always claiming that everybody is filipino!!!1
danny is latino he even said it in an interview...he said he was mexican,white and indian...the only filipino is ramiele....do a research first...because you are really anoying!1

Anonymous said...

i am filipino. truly that philippines was colonized by the spanish ppol. and almost all of filipinos have spanish last names. my last name is reyes too. noones claiming tat he IS rly a filipino. he just have d qualities of a filipino. he looks mestizo. tats why.

Anonymous said...

To Mariana Reyes: I cannot believe how stupid you are.

Anonymous said...

Frankly, lol, I actually just looked up to see if he is half Filipino because he looks Happa and Noriega sounds Spanish...which, yeah, most Filipino last names are. How do I know (aside from history dictating the liason with Spain and the Philippines)? Both my sisters in law are Filipina and their last names are Spanish: Fernandez is one of them.
I also have a Happa nephew and trust me, he looks a lot like Noriega.
**The real thing I don't get is why anybody would be insulted by someone assuming or wondering if Noriega is part Filipino. Perhaps I don't get it because I'm not Filipina, Mexican, Spanish, etc.

Anonymous said...

FYI: Happa from what I hear is the term for half White, half Filipino. Plus, I meant to say my sisters in law's maiden names were Spanish (since they took my brother's last names) :D

Anonymous said...

hapa comes from "half a" It refers to anyone who is half-Asian. It is not exclusive to Filipinos.

Anonymous said...

My apologies for my ignorance on the non-exclusive use of Hapa. Thanks for correcting me...I would rather be in the know vs. ignorant. :D

Anonymous said...

Hapa is a hawaiian word which means "part", or "half". It is also the name of a hawaiian band.

"Mariana Reyes. said...

Danny is the son Manuel Noriega of Panama married to Kahana Muko of Guam which is half Mek tribe of new Zealand. Quarter blood of Hari Humabon of Mactan, Cebu.
Manuel Noriega is half Masai and 1/4 Fujiean decent and a distant cousin of James Brown. I hope this helped the confusion.

Nina said...

Agreed. Mariana Reyes is ignorant and needs a history lesson. What makes her more dumb is to say he looks "Mexican". I'm Mexican and last time I checked we and all Latinos and other ethnicities come in all different colors. Mariana, I think you owe everyone apology...please show some face.

Anonymous said...

so he has a bit of blood of filipino... do you know where that Hari Humabon came from, as it said Mactan Cebu which is the Southern part of Philippines where the Spaniards first landed during those time???

asejsic said...

TO MARIANA REYES;:
HOW DARE YOU SAY PEOPLE WHO SAID HE'S A FILIPINO AN IDIOT?
you have absolutely no right.
besides, the people might have mistaken him as Filipino because there are Filipinos whose last name are Noriega because, in case you don't know, because you probably don't, obvious from your ignorance, that philippines were colonized by Spain that is why a lot of Filipinos have spanish last names. I would know. I have a friend, a FILIPINO, whose last name is Noriega. IGNORAMUS.

Anonymous said...

ok guys enough of this.... he's a bit of everything. mariana please, definitely you r not a filipino, coz we filipinos do really make sure what we are talking about before spitting it out. anyway, is jason CASTRO a filipino as well? Mariana, FYI one of our former president is fidel CASTRO, so does he has a bit of a filipino blood as well? LOL . If he is, boy when a filipino blood mix with any different blood it really has always been a great result. don't u agree guys?

Anonymous said...

I agree. When Filipinos mix with any nationality, they are beautiful. My husband is 1/2 Norwegian and 1/2 Filipino and has blonde hair and blue eyes and is 6'6". I'm 100% Filipino. Our son is gorgeous! He is 3/4 Filipino and looks mestizo. So you can't say anyone "looks" like a certain nationality.

Anonymous said...

Is David Archuleta also a Filipino-American? That is the question. If he does then hurray to all Filipinos! We have Ramielle Malubay and David Archuleta bagging for the coveted American Idol 7 title!

In one of the Idol forums, someone asked if David Archuleta is indeed a Filipino, or with a Filipino lineage. One reply says:

David Archuleta is mixed Hispanic Fillipino. He is a Hispanic Filipino with dark brown hair and hazel eyes who was born on December 28, 1990 in Miami, Florida, USA. Critics and fans alike call him a singing prodigy due to his early development and talent in singing. He has a growing fan base due to his numerous appearances on television talent shows like American Idol and Star Search . David sings Pop, R&B and Soul...

This has to be confirmed though. Whatever his lineage is, David will go a long long way. He's got the looks and the talent to survive American Idol 7.

Go David Archuleta!
Go Ramielle Malubay!

Make the Filipinos proud!

im really sad that danny has been out of the competition..the competition aint it exciting anymore...huhu

hey guys breaking news on E! - Chikezie is Filipino also!!!! LOMG!!!!!

Anonymous said...

just what r you trying to imply here??????? no offense chikezie.

Anonymous said...

Excellence in singing is very natural to the Filipino people. That's why there's a long list of world champions emerging from this Asian country. So if ur a superb singer, expect to be asked if you've got Filipino blood.

Put it this way --> when God gave the gift of music, the Filipinos were wide awake to receive those talents. As for the other races, they have to work hard so as to excell in it.

....remedy..... said...

hei..
DANNY NORIEGA and DAVID ARCHULETA is definitely anot a FILIPINO...!!!!

think!!! you Filipinos!!!!
i am a filipino 2 but i'm
so ashamed of what you've done!!

haha....

if they r Filipinos....
what about David HERNANDEZ,
Syesha MERCADO and Jason CASTRO???

are they Filipinos too???!!
haha...THINK before you spit
some words that there's no sense....

Anonymous said...

Wait Up! Simon Cowel is a Filipino too! Hell Yeah! So is Paula Abdul.. Randy too. Damn, now that's entertainment.

The only thing that Danny is not is an American Idol winner.

Anyways, whatever butt Danny came out of he still got voted off, flip or not.

Peace

Anonymous said...

Referring to what paty said, "you filipinos are always claiming that everybody is filipino!!!" - I'm a filipino and i feel a bit insulted about what you said because I for one DO NOT always claim that everybody is filipino. Think before you address to ALL filipinos - each and every one of us filipinos are different.

I really wanna settle this. Some of you people are being waaaay too smug about what you think is right.

Danny Noriega is Half-Filipino and Half-Cuban

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Filipino_Americans

^You know what that is right above this? That's called citing a reference. If ya'll wanna make stupid-ass claims, you better freakin have proof.

Jeeeezus.

Anonymous said...

I think ppl has to be more sensitive of other nationalities and races. It is true, the Philippines was a Spanish colony for many years, therefore their last names and heck even their first names at times are spanish!
Now I have NO idea if Danny Noriega is or not Philippino, and I dont care whether he is or he isnt, Im sure the philippinos do care, sort of national pride which is FINE! And even if they r wrong there's no need to call ppl names!

why are u guys arguing about danny's background? why 'cause you filipinos only support your own kind? for sure, even if danny has only 1/16 filipino blood in him, you faggots would claim him and say,"hey, another famous filipino! yay!". you guys are fucking retards! for sure won't care about him if he didn't make it in the top 24! support danny whether he's filipino or not!

like wtf?!
whether he's filipino, spanish, or freakin' PURPLE for pete's sake -
WHO GIVES A CARE?!
yeah, i'm filipino and i don't give a damn whether or not he's filipino!

stop segregating.
YAH, that's what it's called.
freakin' morons.

Anonymous said...

Wow reading all these comments was just wow! Why is race sooooo important and why is there a need to defend it? All I know it that having pride is perfectly alright but only if done in a respectful and classy manner. Whatever anyone's race on the show, even if they are mixed as this is more and more common nowadays, I would hope they are chosen for their talent and if he or she happens to be Filipino, Mexican, Caucasian, African American, or all of the above hooray for them and that is that!

Anonymous said...

so many comments about that blood thingy!
i don't think all these people need to call each other idiot nd stupid.
we should all respect each other nd try not to quarrel just because of this topic.
if someone assumes this person has this blood, and someone thinks/knows it is wrong,please correct each other nicely.
instead of quarreling about the contestants' nationalities,we could just support the.
don't you people think we should?

Anonymous said...

we Filipinos...are very proud of ourselves........because we do a
lot better than others...you will
hear anywhere the filipinos...could
do that and that...

note:we are born with talents,so i'm proud to be a Filipino...

...i think all of you who puts comments here are filipinos too...

Anonymous said...

First of all Ramiele Malubay and Danny Noriega have something in common they are gifted; powerful voice, similar looks, charismatic personalities, young, funny,
sweet, spicy attitude,interesting people and they loves to dance, shops, etc.

Second of all Filipino or not we are talking about the X factor here...It so happen Ramiele is Pinay. "We are supporting her all the way in North America bec. she has a great talent". She is honest & proclaiming that she is Pinay which is good quality of being proud of her heritage, She is confident who she is that make us happy to hear it.And also in Asian category Filipinos are known as a great singers.Especially in Japan, Korea, Hongkong...

Third if you look at the American Idol & Canadian Idol history there are Filipinos made it to TOP 10, TOP 7, TOP 3. and more.

4th In International Star Search Talent in California-Banig Won the title in 1989 and Mark Mejia won it too. So that is a quite record to be proud of being Pinay or Pinoy. But still we have to be
gracious and at the same time show to the world that we are thankful & humble people.

5Th About Noriega visit him on his myspacedot.com " He said part of Filipino" blood.

6th Yes! I agree for some of you we are colonize by Spaniard, our last name, similar basic words derived from Spanish language, Our looks partly Spanish-Asian or Chinese-Filipino & etc.

7th My children are mixed race too they look like Danny Noriega, & One of my child not even look Filipina. Also my nephews are Spanish from Spain, Italian-Filipinos they got the blue eyes, Chesnut hair color. It means many American-Filipinos dont look like a typical Filipino face...

Peace Out !!!
Thanks

filipinos are better lookin than hispanics anyway.. so maybe danny should just claim he's filipino

He's "everything" -- but claiming LATINO, never mentioning being filipino or asian.

On a live chat on Stickam someone asked danny if he is part filipino or asian and he said that he wasn't, he said he is mexican american. Whoever said that hispanics are ugly is retarded because hispanics have the most variety of all the races in the world (criollo, mulato, meztiso..etc) as we can see this clearly in american idol with Jason Castro (colombian parents), Danny Noriega, David Hernadez and Syesha Mercado. Anyway, it is unlikely that Danny is filipino mestizo since only 3.6% of filipinos actually have spanish blood (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mestizo)

I don't know about you haters, specially this paty. What do you care if Filipinos claim other as Filipino? Does it affect you at all? You got annoyed? So what are you doing in this blog anyway? Do you just like reading Filipino blogs? And to all of you who don't like it so what? Is it illegal to say that? So what if sometimes we are wrong about what we claim? Are you people perfect? Oh sorry for being human! Some of us are just proud that a Filipino get noticed. You are the one who are idiots and acting all high and mighty! Think before you comment, it's not like you guys are supreme, oh wait you ppl always think you are don't yah!

It's not just about this idol thing, there's just a lot of ppl who are judgemental. And for those Filipinos who are now think there Americanize, we all just came from one country.... Feeling nyo naman Amerikano na kayo porke nakapunta lng kayo dito. So ano kung proud yung ibang Filipino, buti pa sila proud e kayo, mga ulupong. Ita o Malay lang din kayo nanggaling! SALOT!!!

James Brown is Filipino also he's a good coconut tree climber. Even Obama, Ryan Seacrest is 1/10th Filipino, Nick Nolte, Harry Potter is from Panay Island, there's a lot of asuwang over there. Almost everyone in the US are Filipinos. So who gives a POOP?
Anyone of you proud of Andrew Cunanan? I did'nt think so, The majory of us Flips when it comes to ibang SIKAT na Pinoy we tend to SIPSIP TiTi!
Just check out YouTube's comments on Arnel Pineda- proud to be Pinoy!!!
What if there was no Arnel? Are you still proud?
I'm proud to be a Filipino not because of Arnel, or Ramiel, or Pacquiao, just by being a good citizen is all I need. I took care of my pride by being a good honest Filipino-American and get respect from other races for what I am.
And I can't believed most of you people are a disrespect to each other.

hey ally,

it starts with an "F" , it's "filipino" not Philipeno or filipeno, and it's spelled as porchugeese.


to all the people insulting the filipinos here, shut the fuck up, we DON'T ALWAYS claim that everybody's a filipino, well i'll admit that SOME of us are like that but not EVERYONE. so please think of what you're typing before you post it. and i pretty much don't care if danny's a filipino or not.

and before i forget,

Mariana Reyes, keep your comments to yourself,you lunatic, almost ALL the filipinos have spanish surnames AND spanish blood,i'm assuming that your dumb in history, because in case you didn't know,spaniards took over the philippines for 300 years and that's a lot of time for them to reproduce with filipinos. one more thing, our country was named after King Phillip,the friggin' king of spain at that time,dumbass,surely you would have noticed that if it weren't for your useless brain.

Look it up in the internet or go to the library.maybe you'll gain a few things from reading books. because it's pretty obvious you don't.keep laughing though,not really my problem if someone just grabbed you and locked you up in a mental hospital.

Lastly, IKAW NA SIGURO PINAKAMALAKING TANGA NA NAKITA KO

and to paty,
oh you think we're annoying??? what about you huh, ever stopped to think that maybe not ALL of us are what you say we are? please stop using the term "filipinos" because you're talking about all the filipinos in general idiot. and i'd be really shocked if you know each and everyone here in the philippines, and have you ever thought about filipino babies who can't even speak yet? you used the term filipinos which means you're talking about them too right?

Ramiele Malubay did not make it to the TOP 8 for AI Season 7. I was deeply sad because watching her crying with Brooke White, and Kristy Lee Cook with her. It is too emotional for us here in North America tonight. But I'm for sure this is the beginning of Ramiele Malubay career-life's journey . And she really appreciates our heritage and culture to the whole world. And for that reason I'am very proud of her. She is very loving, sweet person that everyone gravitate to her.

Thank you Ramiele and GOD bless you always !!!

My family and I love you so much...

FIRST OF ALL BITCHESSSS, especially you mariana, Danny Noriega could of fooled all you motherfuckers if he lied saying that he is half mexican and filipino because in fact he does look half asian. Second of all, last names do not matter whether you are filipino or not, people may undergo last name changes, thus not carrying their original last name, plus are you so dumb to not know that there are hundreds of spanish last names in the philippines? Hello the Spaniards did colonize in the philippines ages ago. One more thing, the term HAPPA does not necessarily mean WHITE & FILIPINO. IT is WHITE&ASIAN, therefore it can be a person who is white and japanese. thank you (:
