Singapore Idol 2006

Hi everyone! Seems like a lot has been happening in this world of entertainment eh? hahhahha well, it seems dat many have mixed reactions with regards to one of the most popular tv shows t hit our tiny island of Singapore; Singapore Idol!!

I personally feel that it boils down to a question of age difference and the mindsets which suit the various generations.. *chehh debabb* But its truee!! Just look at the current batch of singers, if you can call half of them that.. hahahhahha Im not stating this cos i think im a better singer lah.. cos i cant sing for nuts.. but its just dat if we compare the current standard to the ones that malaysia and indonesia has.. we are indeed kinda sad..

Let's just compare this year to last Singapore Idol! at this stage, there was still Taufiq, Olinda, Sly, Leandra, and the little girl as well! they could sing !! we all knew it! but this year, can u hear what is being presented on live tee veee??? aiyoh ma.. but we cant blame anyone else except the judges themselves.. they had cut down the talent search to these few people! they gave us the few singers to choose from and in turn, we made the ghastly mistakes which could represent the Singapore singing brand in the world arena!!

Well, about the generation gap thingy.. the current situation is that Singapore is divided into 2 main groups; the "anak abu" and the matured audiences.. The anak abu will simply look for looks and feel that whoever is cute and nice should be the Singapore Idol... They will spend their parents' money voting for those whu cant sing for a dime!! this will result in those whu can sing, being voted out week after week.. =..(

Well, as for the matured audiences, they will see the impact that the younger audiences are causing.. which is throwing away the talented ones from the competition. Thus, they in turn, will not vote as it would be a waste of money.. This will lead to an endless spiral where in the end, 2 very cute characters will end up trying to sing in front of a packed stadium for the Finals! =)

Hope that at least half of this entry wont turn out as predicted so that Singapore's most-acclaimed idol search would still be worth watching the next time round! =)
