Malaysian Idol 2 - Spectaculars 8

"Songs from the movies".....that was the theme of the night.

The guest judge was Macik Warong Ogy, also known as Fauziah Ahmad Daud. She can talk a lot without really saying anything. You know how Kak Jee likes to parrot what Abang Roslan says? Well, Macik Warong Ogy likes to parrot what both Abang Roslan and Kak Jee said. That makes her a super parrot. The producers should give us guest judges who talk good sense, or at least look good.

Enough about the judges.

Jien made a lame joke about how Paul's favourite movie is the Titanic. Yup, Jien is still not out of the Paul fetish yet. He needs a new shrink.

So let's see what Daniel, Nita, and Farah came up with.

Daniel: The first song "Ooh! La! La!" was quite fun to listen to. Very boy band like. Nothing that fantastic in the vocals department, but he had fun. Daniel has that ability to rock on stage and make everything fun. The second song "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" was a disaster. His voice just does not suit that kind of song. I would call that the worst performance for the night.

Nita: The first song "Love is a crime" was well done. I would rate that the best performance for the evening. The second song "Asmaradana" was normal, not entirely boring, but simply not outstanding. Nita does not shine with Malay songs.

Farah: I don't know the title of her first song, but it was an Ogy song, and was definitely a bad song choice for her. It sounded school girlish. The second song "All By Myself" wasn't bad, and I liked it. It showed off her vocals as easily the best among the three contestants. The performance was not as soulful as I would have liked, but of course, her young age was a factor.

I can't decide whom to vote for in this round. Many weeks ago, I said that Nita had the best chance of winning and that only Farah could challenge her. I had not expected Daniel to come this far. But Daniel is able to CONNECT with the most important group of people, that is, girls under the age of twenty with their own cell phone. As far as the music industry is concerned, teenagers are the VIPs. They are the ones who think nothing about buying a new original CD using their parents’ money. If you are not a teenager, then you definitely are persona non grata. Sorry, but that's how it works.

If there is another shitty voting preview again this Sunday, then definitely I will not bother to shift my ass to vote in the Genting finals. Those of you visiting the forums can quote me on this one.

Here it is again
