go get your sunglasses...

Here I am blogging every time I had too much time at work.�

I am watching the repeat telecast of the American Idol season finale. On Chanel 5.

I read mixed reviews about the outcome of the finale. Here's my take:

I prefer Kris than Adam. Why you ask? Well, first and foremost it is a singing competition. And Kris sang better. If American Idol had been about theaterics or dramatisation, than I'll be pissed that Adam did not win. Yes, some of you might say that you are suppose to have your own way of singing and Adam's way of singing captured the audiences attention better. Well that is what I call 'Screaming'. Which "artiste" like Jessica Simpson does best. Presence or what I would call 'attracting attention' just like how Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton do their thing. I am not denying that Adam has talent. He does have it, but maybe he can do it on a different platform. I won't be�surprise�if he will appear on TV more than you will hear him on the radio.

Since Obama became the president of US of A, America did change. Especially with the way their mind works. Like Fee says, finally we can have faith in the Americans. hahaha.. Well maybe not everything, but at least in entertainment. I hope during the upcoming Singapore Idol, Singaporean will use their brains to vote instead of their hearts. Singapore Idol is a singing competition. Not a popularity contest. We have MTV Awards and other polling sh*t for that kinda thing. Please vote according to their singing ability. Read: SINGING ABILITY. If you think Singapore Idol should be different that American Idol, then I don't think Singapore Idol should be the American Idol franchise. What a waste of money for Mediacorp to pay for the rights and licensing and all but then they wanna be different. Then they should have just stick to the original talent show they had 2 years ago where even bands can audition. Which I'm pretty sure by now 70% of Singaporeans have forgotten about. (Recap: Fendi and by Definition won the competition btw. And I can only recall the name of the show after googling it, which was called 'Live the Dream') Well I can only say, finally Mediacorp has woken up.�

On a totally different note, I am missing Amin so much, that I have been meeting Nor and Fizah way too often to be healthy. Him leaving Brisbane is a way of making me believe that a 4-way friendship is the way to go. No matter how many times the three of us meet up, it will never be enough cos Amin is NOT around. Hehehe... nevertheless I hope to meet him soon. Amin, I love you and I am missing you so much.
