I want to believe that Alejandro Aranda could win American Idol...
but in my heart of hearts, I’m just not sure. As an on-and-off viewer of the show since I was a kid, I’ve watched winner after many winner (especially in recent seasons) become an almost one-and-the-same image of the Americana down-home country kind of American Idol. And Alejandro Aranda isn’t any of those things. To me, Alejandro represents a new wave of alt-Latinx style, infused with his brilliantly virtuo-SICK piano and guitar playing. Complimented with a falsetto that reaches to the heavenlies, he’s already winner in my eyes. From his first humble audition, the panel of judges and viewers witnessed a star in the making, beanie and all. But how far can his talent take him? I know he can be successful outside of the American Idol stage, but I’d also like to think- isn’t it time for a Latino to become the next American Idol? A super-talented, humble Latino with a voice like silk and fingers that move with the quickness of an adrenaline-fueled spider? In any manifestation, Alejandro Aranda is someone to keep our ears and eyes fixed on. I sure as hell will. Check out his latest single “Satisfied” here.
