Culturally Preconditioned

I was surprised they didn’t start off the spectaculars with another group performance, but instead all of them marched on to the stage and jigged to “Warna” which was this week’s theme. They then showed clips of last week’s results show which saw Trish and Atilia leaving the competition. I would like to point out how big of a hypocrites the two idiots are. Of course, I’m referring to Uncle Baldy and Lemming Gee. And this calls fro a need to resurrect one of my favourite pictures, for prosperity’s sake.

They sounded and looked (unprofessionally) visibly upset with the results, and yet these are the two same people who slammed Atilia for missing the X factor, yada yada yada. I don’t know, maybe they are stunned as I am over the fact some of the viewers actually listened to what they have to say. And for the billionth time, can Jien just stop his playful pokes at Paul? It’s just getting lame. The joke is getting too old. We get it. You and Paul have a thing going on, but honestly, does he think anyone aside from the two of them find their playful banter cute? Bloody hell. It’s not only borderlining on annoying, it HAS become annoying weeks ago. Just fucking stop it. Please. Seriously. I’m gonna speakly less harshly of Cheryl this time around, cause she actually looked good. It must be the hair.

Spectacular 1 - Top 9 - “Colours”

Daniel - Somewhere Over The Rainbow
I feel his performance has improved tenfolds since the last spectacular. Unfortunately, that’s not really saying much, is it? His pitching was off in places, but that was expected. If I was a teeny bopper, I’d probably would’ve loved that performance. And a special WTF shoutout to Baldy for his “stick to simple songs”. First of all, with Somewhere Over The Rainbow, it can’t really get simpler than that. Secondly, the comment “sing simple songs” itself has just won you the Most Idiotic Mind Numbing Idol Comment of the Century Award. As for the performance, 5.5 out of 10.

Nita - Tenda Biru
With Atilia gone, I had no choice but pick Nita as the best female singer. Unfortunately, her performance was mediocre and I was disappointed. She worked her low registers but it really was boring. 6 out of 10.

Farah - Colors of the Wind
For the first time in the competition, I feel Farah really stood out and made me go WOW. I just realised how good she really is (comparatively speaking, of course). I never realised she had braces on, but no biggies. I’m really starting to like her. 7.5 out of 10.

Azam - Sekuntum Mawar Merah
I thank my lucky stars that at least this Sudirman song didn’t get butchered. I like his strong voice, but I don’t know.. he does look a bit weird during his performances. I think I might call him “Stoic Boi” from now on. I am definitely NOT loving the lesbian hair, though. And I hate to admit it, but I did chuckle during Baldy’s “Eh.. apa ni?” comments when Azam presented the lame rose to guest judge Dayang Nurfaizah (who by the way is perhaps the most boring judge ever.. Dayang masih belajar.. mengikut pengalaman Dayang.. Dayang pun pernah.. oh shut the fuck up already. It’s not Dayang Idol). 7 out of 10.

Ash - Lady In Red
No doubt his attire was intended to imitate Chris de Burgh, but I felt it really looked odd. Even John Stevens didn’t wear an outfit like that on stage. Oh well. His performance on the other hand, was much better. It was a glimpse of what I saw during the audition that made me pick him as a possible winner. Still need lots of improvements though. 6.5 out of 10.

Zaharah - Brown Eyes
To be fair, she did rather well for this song. Her best performance to date. That said, I still think her voice is just okay. I’d give her a 7 out of 10. But being the critical bitch that I am, I will deduct 1 point for the sob story before her performance. And being the HARSH critical bitch that I am, I will deduct yet another point for reiterating the fucking sob story after her performance. I’m not buying, and yes, I am a bitch. 5 out of 10.

Adam - Pelangi Petang
To the so called “judges” (or “idiots” as what most of Malaysia’s population will call them) who keeps dissing Adam, please.. you cannot deny that he has the best vocal in the competition. That said, I personally find his theatrics a bit over the top. I hope he tones down a bit, and you know, just sing. However, I do think his weakness lies in singing English but we’ve yet to see that. 7.5 out of 10.

Ejay - Black Eyed Boy
Lemming Gee is a complete fool for making the “lagu tak sesuai” comments. How can that not be the perfect song for her? She excellently delivered it. Maybe Gee should spend some time to actually listen to original song beforehand. Fool. Ejay’s performance was excellent. After her appalling performance last week, I thought she would be a goner, but hell.. I might even send her some votes this week. In fact, I will. It was good good good. I loved it. 7.5 out of 10.

Faizul - Jaket Biru
He did well. Although his performances has been all about Rock ever since we saw him, at least he’s consistent (if not getting better and better at it). Plus I like his laid back attitude. 7 out of 10.

So a recap. Jien and Paul should go to San Francisco and get married. Roslan and Gee are idiots. And I am a bitch. Best performances of the night goes to Farah, Adam and Ejay! I have no clue as to who’s going home this Sunday. For all we know it could be .. seriously.. no fricken idea. EVeryone knows who I want to see the least in the show, right? But chances are she’ll be in it for the long haul. Oh well.
