A South African teenager is grabbing international attention thanks to a competition being run by American Idol TV show host Ryan Seacrest. And right now she needs our vote to make it through to the next round!
The Gauteng singer-songwriter – fullname: Filipa Carmo da Silva – is now through to the third round in which the original 26 contestants have been narrowed down to just the Top 15.
Filipa (18) wrote excitedly on her Facebook page yesterday: “ROUND 3… Wow, this just gets more exciting and more nerve wrecking Thank you for all your votes so far – let’s keep it going.”
The story of her own life is becoming more exciting by the minute. According to her FB page, she studied at the Cape Academy of Performing Arts (CAPA), and four nights ago had the honour of performing at the V&A Waterfront Amphitheatre.
Today her biggest dilemma is whether her fans should be called Filipets or Filopians.
