Post Idol career

After Trias' appearance on American Idol, her fanbase grew in the United States and in foreign countries where the show was aired:

fifteen season
finale of American Idol.

Trias in the Philippines

In the Philippines, Trias has done television commercials and billboard ads for McDonald's, Smart Telecommunications, Hapee Toothpaste, and Bench Clothing.[

i'm lovin' it" slogan).[citation needed] McDonald's restaurants in the Philippines offered a promotional meal called the "Jasmine Trio", which consisted of a Strawberry Float, fries, and the McDonald's exclusive "Love Ko 'To" CD-Single.[citation needed
]

Trias also appeared on the reality show

Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition on March 6 and stayed in the house overnight, leaving on March 7.[citation needed
]

In 2006, Trias' life story was dramatized in the anthology series Magpakailanman, where she was played by Jolina Magdangal.[citation needed] In 2006 and 2007, Trias starred in two episodes of the music anthology series Your Song which featured two of her songs as the title songs.[citation needed]

Career

Managing Director of Honolulu Ben Lee summarized the mood in Trias' home state of Hawaii by saying, "Jasmine has enough votes in Hawaii to become governor or mayor easily." Lieutenant Governor Duke Aiona, in his capacity as acting governor, declared Jasmine Trias Day by executive order. Trias has also done various commercials in Hawaii discouraging smoking, drinking, and drug use. On February 27, 2005, Trias released a CD single entitled "Flying Home," which was sold exclusively in Pizza Hut and Taco Bell stores in Hawaii. The single was intended to capture her feelings of returning to Hawaii after months of working on tour and on her album.

Trias was a part of the JCPenney and Seventeen "Rock Your Prom" Fashion Show. She performed in Springfield, Missouri and Glendale, California in March 2005.

Musically, some have compared Trias to

San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Guam in 2004. To end her whirlwind visit to the Philippines, dubbed "Jasmania," she met President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Trias left Clockwork Entertainment due to poor management and promotion; and is now with Universal Records Philippines. "Excuses," "Sana Lagi," "Too Many Walls" and "DJ Don't Quit" peaked in the Top 10 on a popular Live365
Internet station called Idol Waves. "I'd Rather" managed to reach number one.

Trias was featured in the music video to

sixth season of American Idol. She also filmed a movie in the Philippines titled "Suddenly It's Magic"; it is shelved indefinitely.[citation needed] In addition, she was featured as a guest judge for a children's competition on The Tyra Banks Show and made appearances on three American Idol national follow-up shows: American Idol Extra, American Idol Tonight and It's Your Call with Lynn Doyle.[2]

Trias has stated in many different interviews that she will start working on new albums for the U.S. and the Philippines for release this year [i.e. 2008].[citation needed] Trias is the host of a television program called Pacific Groove in Hawaii.[3] Trias performed with Society of Seven at the Riviera Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, debuting on August 16, 2012.[citation needed]
