For the second time this season of American Idol, Renaldo Lapuz stole the spotlight but this time he stole it from the two finalist, David Cook and David Archuleta.

According to his website (yes, he now has his own website), RenaldoLapuz.com, his appearance in the show was a surprise. He was flew in by American Idol on Monday and was told not to leave his hotel room until the final show. OMG! He stayed locked up for almost 3 days? Ha ha ha!

I’m so happy for this guy. To think that he was just an ordinary tricycle driver here in the Philippines but look at him now, an international celebrity. God does work in mysterious ways.
