Singapore Idol is a scam...
The results today was totally unacceptable... It goes to show that there's many Singaporeans out there who wouldn't know a star even if he/she whacks them in the head with a mic.
For those not in the know, two fantastic singers, Beverly Morata and Jeassea K Thidor, were booted off the show today.
OK, although Beverly seemed fake cos of the excessive crying on one show, then the excessive laughing on another, she could genuinely sing... She was trying to "connect" with the crowd, and i for one was very drawn to her past two performances...
What can i say about Jeassea? She was totally goddess-of-song-like whenever she opened that pouty mouth of hers to belt out hit after hit, especially that Aretha Franklin number, "Chain of Fools". But no... Singaporeans just ain't listening.
Instead, this guy called Jerry stayed.
Not that i'm biased or something, but listen to him. He sounds like this whiny guy who comes across as more of exhaling than actually trying to sing. Dunno what i mean? Wait next week. His sole redeeming factor is his looks though.
Contrary to popular belief, Jerry ain't from City Harvest. He's actually from Trinity Methodist Church, according to
this article on anti-jerry sentiments.
Other Idol contestants that could have taken the place of bev and Jess are, in my opinion, Chrissypoo and.... Wait.. That's about it.
Okok... I'm biased towards him cos he sang "Your Song" and totally screwed it up. He's actually alright if he stops being so damn scared of performing.
Leandra was a letdown this time. Her performance was utterly boring. And i sense this animosity between her and her mom. Its like she disdains her mom.. She kinda always does this mini-rolleyes thing whenever her mom speaks.
However, there is still next week. And meanwhile,
chant with me
