Asia'h Epperson

Asia’h Epperson recently released a couple of professionally recorded music videos. Good to see Asia’h Epperson singing and keeping her voice still fresh. Next would be to actually see a music video featured on Asia’h Epperson herself.

Keep them coming Asia’h and you readers keep coming back for more latest news and updates about Asia’h Epperson.

For the true Asia’h Epperson fans and being the number one Asia’h Epperson fan site I figured it these anagrams will make for some good reading. So here they are

Well there you are. Come back for more Asia’h Epperson news updates and oddities

David Cook is this years American Idol. After more than 3 months since the show started, we finally have a winner and I must say a thoroughly deserving winner. Nearly 97.5 million votes were cast and 56 % of the American public voted for David Cook to be this years American Idol.

This is quite an achievement for someone that did not even plan to contest. Cook after he was crowned blamed his brother for landing him the coveted title of American Idol.

The 2 hour finale saw a bevy of singers and past competitors from this season sing the night away before the final winner was announced. The judges were unanimous in saying that this season was among the best and the final two singers were both winners and should go on to do really well for themselves.

My particular disappointment with the final show was the fact that Asia’h Epperson was completely missing from action. She was nowhere to be seen on stage.  The final show had Syesha Mercado, Brooke White, Michael Johns, Carly Smithson, Ramiele Malubay, Amanda Overmyer, Jason Castro, Chikezie perform in either group or solo songs. Very conspicuous in her absence was Asia’h Epperson and from a fan perspective was a real pity. I was really looking forward to see Asia’h Epperson perform once again on the American Idol but I guess I will have to wait a while longer before I see Asia’h Epperson on Television.

Asia’h Epperson was in the news recently for singing at the Springfield Cardinals first game of the year. Though originally Asia’h Epperson was scheduled to sing the national anthem, delays at the airport forced the change in the schedule.

The 19 year old who made it to the top 12 female singers at the ongoing American Idol was unfortunate in missing out. After her exit from the competition Asia’h Epperson has been keeping a low profile. The public appearance today was one of the few instances that Asia’h Epperson has sung in public since her exit.

While many would eagerly point out that Asia’h Epperson had many things on her side such as crowd support, emotion and sympathy she did not make it beyond the top 12. However if you go purely by her singing and ignore the circumstances of the competition during her exit, I’m sure you would all agree that this is one talented singer and the world has only begun to take note of Asia’h Epperson.

I’m going to be live blogging the American Idol final five elimination results as I see it live on television. Yes, this is the first time I’m doing it and the first time that I’ve done it on the Asia’h Epperson fan club site. This should be fun.

Allright folks, we are live (I’m not in the audience but seated at home with my Johnny Walker and my laptop :)). Anyway American Idol just started on Fox. Who are we going to see eliminated tonight? That is the big question? Each one of the remaining five can go on to win the competition. The final five contestants have just finished tonight’s opening song and now Ryan Seacrest is calling out the contestants. It’s elimination time people. Let the show begin.

Jason Castro

First up is Jason Castro. You can cut the tension with a knife. Ryan plays out the vote result and finally confirms that Jason Castro is indeed safe. Way to go Jason.

David Archuleta

 Second to be called out is David Archuleta. The pattern of late has always been that the bottom two are left to the very end. So David has a pretty good chance of making it to the next round if the same pattern continues tonight.

Paula loved David’s performance last night and Simon mentioned that his second song choice was pretty smart. What did America vote? And he is Safe.

Two down, both safe, three to go. 

David Cook

Next up is David Cook. Paula once again loved David’s performance. Infact she even said that she was looking at the next American Idol. Wow that is saying a lot. Ok here is the result and ……. he is safe. Brilliant!

Syesha or Brooke?

We are indeed following the pattern. That means it’s either Syesha or Brooke that will be eliminated tonight. Lets wait and watch. Ryan just called out both Syesha and Brooke out to join him on stage.  Ok here we go, the decision is any minute now. Hold on a minute, Ryan just asked both to go take a seat on the couch. It’s going to drag on a bit I guess, hey the show is for an hour. It’s only 29 mins into the show as I write this.

Ok we are back but its not result time yet. We are right now taking questions on the phone and what do you know we have Simon’s first crush on the phone asking him about a kiss when he was 9 years old. Next up is Neil Diamond singing “Amazing grace“. A truly great artist and if I may say one of the few legend in this industry.

Right, its the results and not a minute too soon. We have three minutes left. And its ………….. Brooke White. Wow, double wow, Syesha is safe and lives to fight for the crown for another day. Its Brooke White that is going home tonight. Boy, what a run she had. She was such an overwhelming favorite right from the start with really powerful performances but she simply dropped the ball when it most mattered. She was at one time one of my favorites and I can’t help but wonder if she only had been a little consistent she might have gone all the way to the top 3.

Allright folks, Brooke just finished her final performance, her swan song and we are done with tonight’s American Idol. Let me now sit back and let the result sink in.

Boy I really can’t help but wonder how great it be to still have Asia’h Epperson on the show. I’m sure she must be watching the show on her telly at home in Joplin and must be really really missing being part of the show, performing on stage in front on a live audience and yes in front of millions on television. Well, if popularity is anything to go by Asiah, you are already a winner. I just hope we see more great performances from you soon.

I hope you enjoyed this post. Do keep coming back for more news about American Idol and of course Asia’h Epperson. Good night and let the discussions begin.

It’s been a long and arduous road but the glory is still up for grabs. Each one of the top 6 still standing at this years American Idol know they have a very good chance at superstardom. Every one of the remaining idols can go on to have glittering careers and are all commercially viable.

Picking a favorite is like drawing straws at the moment. But if you put a gun to my head and asked me to choose then I would have to say David Archuleta is probably the one that has the biggest momentum going for him at the moment. America loves a sense of romance. What could be more romantic and incredible than a seventeen year old unknown just a few months ago becoming the next American Idol. The younger you are they more people tend to mother you and push you to succeed. It will be a shocker if David Archuleta is not among the top three. If that ever happens then it probably will be because of David Archuleta screwing up so badly or like Asia’h Epperson has one of those off days.

The closest competition to David is from his good friend Jason Castro. Jason has a lot of things going for him, a growing fan base that is almost rivals David’s and a great voice to match. Jason is my pick for the second spot in the top three. For my third and final sport I will have to go with Carly Smithson. Carly comes across as a woman with a lot of character and America and Americans love that. She comes across a strong willed and confident woman with a colorful personality. Ofcourse all that wouldn’t matter if could not sing but Carly Smithson is no slouch there too.

I know this list is a little different from the list I had earlier posted on the Asia’h Epperson Fan blog but hey at least I still have my top two hanging in there. My previous favorite, Brooke White, the one I was rooting for after Asia’h Epperson, has really disappointed in the past few weeks and every day she looks closer and closer to simply disintegrating on the stage. After Simon Cowell’s recent comment about her performance of the Mariah Carey “Hero” song, Brooke only just managed to maintain her composure. “Ordering a hamburger and getting only the bun”. That line was priceless. Where does Simon come up with this stuff?

Anyway enough said about my favorites. My all time favorite Asia’h Epperson though is no longer in the American Idol competition and hopefully is onto bigger things. As with the final 6 idols, a singing career, more importantly a successful singing career is not limited to the winner. Season 7 of the American Idol has sure rocked so far, we’ve had the pleasure of watching and listening to great voices and performers. Lets hope the remaining idols go out with all guns blazing.

Don’t forget to watch Fox tomorrow, April 21st 2008, its crunch time again folks, all the top 6 idols will be singing and also make sure to come back and read more news about American Idol and Asia’h Epperson on this website.

Many Americans and the world fell in love with Asia’h Epperson when they first saw her in this years American Idol. The first images broadcast show her as a gritty and courageous teen that managed to win over the hearts of the judges and fans alike with her tremendous poise and courage to show up for the audition much less ace the audition.

Over the course of next few weeks Asia’h Epperson would go on to add to her fan list as she breezed her way into the top 12 women at the American Idol. Sadly Asia’h could not keep up her momentum and was eliminated just when she was beginning to become the odds on favorite to win the Season 7 American Idol crown.

This post looks back at some of her more memorable quotes during her participation at the American Idol competition.

Asia’h Epperson on how she got through the initial American Idol auditions while mourning her father.

I always believed that he was with me and God was with me. My family and friends were there to help me and encourage me through it all. I believe strongly that it was what he wanted me to do. My dad would never have wanted me to stop going forward with my dreams because of what had happened. He always wanted me to follow my dreams and that’s what pushed me to keep going.

Asia’h Epperson on her favorite Beatles song that she would have performed if she had made it into the top 12.

Boy !! I was so excited about singing my favorite Beatles song. I was going to sing “Can’t Buy Me Love.” It is such an awesome song. I took a sample beat from Jazzy Jeff way back and so it was going to have a hip-hop and R&B flavor to it. I was really looking forward to it as the song was so much fun but at the same time so original. I know for sure if I had sung that song that I would have even made it further in the competition.

Asia’h Epperson on her favorite American Idol judge

I loved all the judges in the competition and all the people out there that was judging me. But looking back I have to say that my favorite judge would have to be Simon Cowell. Everyone has this opinion that he is kind of bitter but the fact is that he does know what he’s talking about. He’s a professional and I think he gives you really good constructive criticism. The delivery might be a bit flawed in that he is very sarcastic and blunt and you wish he words it a little differently but in the end he makes you do the best that you can do.

Asia’h Epperson on her plans after the American Idol show.

I really believe the sky’s the limit for me. I’m going to take every opportunity that presents itself. I’ve been a part of drama, theater and similar stuff right from middle school and high school. So in my heart I know I’m going to do some acting, some commercials, maybe even a little bit of modeling. But one thing I’m sure about is that I’m definitely going to be singing because music is my heart and soul.

I hope you enjoyed reading some of what Asia’h Epperson has to say looking back on the competition. Keep coming back to read more of Asia’h Epperson and more of her quotes.

Hold onto your horses just yet. This is currently only a rumor and has yet to be verified. So don’t go put on your partying hat just yet. The rumor doing its rounds states that 5 contestants will be bought back in April and the hot tip is that Asia’h Epperson is one of them.

The rumor if it turns out to be true will be God sent for Asia’h. The talented singer definitely deserves better and with all the three judges agreeing that her exit was a surprise and that she definitely had the talent to compete further into the competition she is sure to be picked as one of the lucky five.

Maybe this time luck will be on Asia’h side. Luck deserted her last time around with Asia’h battling sickness at the worst possible time and then being the first singer on the fateful day when she got eliminated.

The 19 year old has shown tremendous composure and guts to battle it this far into the competition. Even if the rumors turn out to be false I don’t believe that Asia’h Epperson could be held back for long. It’s just a matter of time before we again see and hear Asia’h Epperson back in the limelight doing the thing she does best, singing.

As the world watches American Idol week after week, the fans of Asia’h are praying that they get another chance to vote the singer back into the competition. The chances though realistically speaking are slim but when you are a true fan you tend to hang onto hope even if they mean clutching straws.

Asia’h Epperson is now back home in Joplin Missouri. For those who have been living under a rock for the past few months, Asia’h Epperson auditioned for the American Idol Season 7 and went on to reach the top 12 female singers. Unfortunate turn of events and illness contributed to Asia’h being voted off the premier television show.

Many writers from quite a few publications have questioned America’s decision in sending Asia’h Epperson off the show. The reasoning seems to be unanimous, Asia’h was by no means the worst singer, there were far worse performers in the final 12 and all the judges absolutely loved Asia’h Epperson’s performance and agreed that it should have been enough to keep her in the competition.

The attached video shows a relaxed Asia’h talking to Dustin Shipman from The Joplin Globe. He interviews Asia’h in her home and asks her about her American Idol experiences. He also asks her about her predictions for the winner of the American Idol competition and her opinions of some of the still standing contestants. He finally also asks Asia’h about her plans for the future and what the world can expect from a remarkable and talented young woman, Asia’h Epperson.

Asia’h Epperson shows how to hit the high note and strike the right chord with viewers. Here she is singing “All By Myself” in this year’s Season 7 of the now cult show American Idol.
