Definition:It's really weird. Such an episode on American Idol would have been a hilarious, laughs-a-minute affair but the latest Singapore Idol edition was so mushily sentimental, I could have sworn it was directed by Jack Neo ;p Although I wasnt too happy with Mediacorp's blatant effort to pull at our heartstrings whilst raking in big bucks from the ratings, in retrospect, this, perhaps, wasnt entirely a bad thing afterall. With the exception of the Pink Lady and the DoReMi gerl, whose unapologetic renditions of Yesterday Once More & DoReMi (duh~) were downright classics, the rest of the performances were so naively earnest, I almost teared alittle. I particularly enjoyed watching Sadli and Ros perform; their vocals are definitely much better than a couple of the Idol finalists themselves.. Why Ros couldnt make it to the top 32 is beyond all powers of human comprehension (though aesthetics, I highly suspect, had a lot to do with it). Of course, this only made Ros' Over The Rainbow even more poignant.

WHile Rocky's shaky delivery of The Prayer was certainly an acquired taste, all my plaudits went out to the pretty deaf gerl and stammering cutie Albert, whose courage and tenacity to go through with this recording had me in awe. I'm sure it wasnt exactly a breeze for either of them but they still arent afraid to mug for the cameras and perform to the best of their abilities; we have so much to learn from such individuals. If only I have half as much spunk and determination. haiz...
PS: I think Gurmit's key during the groupie Music Of My Heart was a leetle off. He shud stick to his day job.. and I still think he's not suited to do the hosting for SgIdol. Where's Kui Jien when you need him??? Oh yeah.. he is across the causeway hosting M'sia Idol and THat is obviously a better deal...
PS2: I almost forgot to mention the Careless Whisper guy~!!! He's such a sport~ deserves an encore... ;p
