Thoughts of a 'Man'

People people, i no i am in no position to say this, but i have to.... they say the contestants this year sucked, but i do think otherwise....they have johnathan leong and hady, which compared to last year, they stand out a lot....electrico is a good band, and i thought rahima rahim(the older women, the 'diva'.....special hand gesture back there..)....i'm okay with the finalists saying nothing but "i can't thank you enough, thank you for bringing me here....i'm really excited.." every single time they are asked a question....i'm okay that the judges are not critisising when sometimes they should.....its hard performing up there, so i guess maybe any constructive criticism at the last stage of the competition would only be of more harm than good...i'm even okay that ken lim doesnt like to smile(i really look up to his contributions anyway).....everything is great, the special guests is great........

but i really just don't get it....WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON THRU THE PRODUCER'S MINDS.....to make the artists sing together, duets, 'triets?','quadruets?'........i mean...when all of them sing together....it sounds crappy......every single performance in the results show, they have to include the contestants, is that really necessary? you probably have noticed how sucky it was when they all sang together....uugh....maybe the producers are the people from my parent's generation.....i don't know.....

i think duets can sound much much better than a solo when done properly...but not something to be done recklessly....aiyah!......

anyway, this yrs sg idol seemed less anticipated...electrico must have been quite upset that the final 2 shredded their hit........just like how johnathan must have felt insulted when being compared to sylvester sim as mentioned by flo...being compared to that poser ahbeng......sylvester sings out of tune and rhythm(eh...really)....

hady won... and moral of the story.....if you influenced by rock music.....forget about singapore idol, if you are pursuing rock music.....even if you're pursuing all styles of music, forget singapore idol....since sg idol only likes pop, the fans only listen to pop......maybe 3/4 of singapore listen to the good olde rock n roll.....but no, don't expect them to vote, don't expect music lovers to embrace commercialism......i guess johnathan leong being quite a true representation of 'rock'.....not that rock music needs any representation....but him going up there and declaring himself with that image.........doesn't deserve to win..he deserves better.....i guess now he won't be bounded to the contract to do he does not truly feel passionate about.....

and if you ask me, i would consider selling my soul to do 'stairway to heaven', or like in the crossroads movie, to do blues and rock than to selling my soul twice(once to satan, the 'soul' of the soul sold for a petty fee of $0, selling even your passion and will..omg) to do singapore idol...eww....i guess i can forgive ppl who have done so....i have made a sell out of myself a few times....
