MALAYSIAN IDOL? PERHAPS...

Just finished watching Malaysian Idol and for the first time, I caught the performance almost in full (was at Ruey's place when it started showing at 9pm but we had to pick her bro up at 9.30pm so I missed Jac's 1st song... wasn't too great either from the repeat). Dina, the other top 2 contestant was under-performing tonight, though the sound system wasn't particularly fantastic. I did think that Jac did justice to the theme song by Aubrey Suwito (it's a Malay song... something gemilang... sorry folks, I'm bad with titles and lyrics as you can see). The whole affair was nice and fanciful, but definitely nothing as compared to American Idol finales.

After watching AMI for 2 seasons, I've become this "super critic" that sometimes, I'm so ashamed of myself for being so quick to judge at the contestants. But hey, if you're brave enough to go up there to sing, you should be brave enough to hear the comments and pick it up from there, yeah? Whatever the result tomorrow night, I wish both Jac and Dina the best in their future undertakings.

Especially for Dina: I respect you a lot for your courage to be on that stage, strutting your talents despite not being the stereotypical skinny babe. If only I had that much nerve to just go for it and ignore my physical inadequacies. Hahaha... sigh...
