Career
She started to be active in the singing competitions as early as 17 years old. Another feather in her hat was when Armarie made it to the final 12 of the Philippine Idol, the franchise of the American Idol singing competition in the United States. On the day of Armarie"s elimination, the management decided on a new ruling for the text voting process where in American Broadcasting Company 5 executives and Idol franchise owner, Fremantle United Kingdom, agreed to limit the length of the voting window from 22 hours to only 2 hours to lessen the predictability of the text votes results.Armarie was eliminated on her fifth week on October 30, 2006 and lost to Apple Chiu, the other girl at the bottom two for that particular episode in which there was a new ruling regarding a new two-hour text voting protocol established by the Philippine Idol Management. Unfortunately, this was the reason why fans felt Armarie lost in spite of her competitive edge over the others
Her followers did not have the time to "acclimatize" to the new ruling and were not able to vote for her during the scheduled time.
