For some of you wondering out there, no, I have not totally given up hope on on Malaysian Idol yet. “Totally” and “yet” being the keywords there. I didn’t make any commentaries on the past two Malaysian Idol shows because :
Last week :
- Survivor Vanuatu premiered on Friday night
- I went for a friend’s birthday celebration at Saisaki’s (freshest.salmon.ever) on Sunday
This week :
- Survivor still hasn’t moved to the 11:10 pm time slot on Friday because The Amazing Race was still on
- There’s no actual good reason to wake up on a Sunday morning (11:30 is still considered A.M.)
Anyway, even though I didn’t watch the actual shows on tv (you can download the clips at www.kreees.com), I still sent in my votes for Jac and Dina cause those are the two that I want to see in the Finale (which I might also forego since Carnivale will be premiering on HBO next month).
There’s not much to say really. Andrew is finally out of the competition this week. I felt that the show has been a bit lackluster for the past few weeks. I’m not blaming the contestants because they are definitely giving us their best week in week out. I was put off for a bit because it’s depressing to see what some of the viewers deem as ‘the best performances’ and blindly sending votes to see their favourites stay in the competition despite knowing the fact that they’re not really ‘the best’. Thankfully, that stopped this week.
Well, if all goes according to plan, it will be Vick’s turn next week. Vick is a decent singer, but I just feel his performance hasn’t been as consistent as Jac’s or Dina’s. As at the time of writing this, 65% of me wants to see Jac win the title, and 35% of me wants to see Dina be crowned the first Malaysian Idol. They both have their own uniqueness and strengths (and for the millionth time, vocal wise, Jac is NOT the same as Fantasia, seriously) which will make Malaysia proud in the World Idol.
Okay, now I have to get back to Episode Three on Angels in America.
Izad - Out
