Its been more than a month now that I'm following up the fate of this Filipina, Madonna Decena in the "Britain Got Talent" program in the UK. The single mom captured the hearts of many during her rendition of Whitney Houstons' I will always love you. Although she's only an immigrant, she passed the audition and came to face to face with the three judges, Amanda Holden, Morgan Piers and the dreaded Simon Cowell (also the much hated judge in the American Idol). As Piers interviewed her, she can't help but sob once asked the reason of her being infront of them. Her reasons somewhat pierced Amandas' heart. As she sung, the crowd got astonished by her singing voice and ended-up applauding while rendering a standing ovation. Simon even playfully biting his pencil while listening. At the end, she got the favourable nods of the three judges.
Instantly, she became a celebrity.
Watching and listening to her Youtube rendition, anyone could feel the love she has for her daughters backhome and the talent she has. Anyone could let it run again and again and the same feeling of pride and love will be felt.
Madonnas' truimph in the BGT arouse curiousity and diverse feeling over the show. While fellow Pinoys are very proud of the achievement, purebred Brits resist the outcome. Mixed feelings on the blogs end-up very treacherous with an alarming and impolite polarity, no one could ever cover-up the passionate salutation bestowed on the young mother. Racist comments instead virtually diverted the factual endorsement of her talent, her "sobbing" entrance was at all criticized. Brits themselves discredit the judges whom had no control on the incoming contestants. It should had been the people behind the auditions that could have taken the heavy cudgels. BUt naught, they let her go and join.
So, this moment was her moment. Make or break, she's still the Madonna Decena that at one time stirred up the BGT. Hoping all the best for her on or after the BGT.
Goodluck, my Madonna.
