I suddenly feel that my previous posts are like picture overloading, and it's getting a tad out of hand. I should try blogging in WORDS once in a while, but it's something i seem to have lost touch with. It's so much easier to put up a picture and a caption, or to write a story with the pictures aiding in imagination. I'm starting to lose my flair for storytelling with just the average nouns, pronouns, adjective and, my personal fave, verbs...

My English teachers must view my blog in disdain, if they even know of my blog's existence...

However, to blog without pictures, i have to have a general direction in where my words are going to lead readers. This means that i need a topic! And with my life a drag as it is, topics are few and far between...

However, i have something i'd wish to clarify now, and i'll do it here even though it'll be little heard...

It's the article on Idol Bloggers that Mr Miyagi wrote on today's Today... And he quoted a dissatisfied customer,

"So what if you're the next Singapore Idol? Some real, good talent was sacrificed along the way because they didn't look good enough for TV..."

I beg to differ.

I look nothing spectacular. In fact, i'm a sight for sore eyes, or shall i say itchy noses? I feel that if one was truly good enough (ie, powerful vocals, unique sound etc), the producers would more likely than not give out that slip of paper with the Singapore Idol stamp of approval on it.

Disqualified auditioners most likely than not have unimpressive vocal prowness and/or may have rubbed the judges in the wrong way. The key: to make them laugh and feel at ease with you. At ease enough to let you through the next round perhaps? It's personality, not physical features that sets one apart from others.

It's true to a certain extent that weirdos and funny looking/acting people might get in, but it's all in the name of entertainment isn't it? I mean, reality television wouldn't be that successful if everyone looked like each other would it? I'm sure even programs like Survivor and The Amazing Race have hidden going ons behind the camera (but this is just an assumption, maybe contestants on both shows are really left to fend of wild animals in the jungles, be it natural or concrete)...

Another claim that she made was,

"There was absolutely no shade to be found where the participants were queueing; neither did I spot any paramedics."

Shade can be manually administered. Hello? Umbrellas are not only used to fend from the rain you know? It might be embarrassing using the Hello Kitty (just saying) umbrella that you brought, but it sure beats roasting yourself in the hot morning/afternoon/evening sun right? It's a choice not to bring/use an umbrella, so no complaining!

And oh, the fact that you didn't spot paramedics must mean that there weren't any help for contestants who would feel dried out from all that Vit E? So does that mean whatever you can't see doesn't exist? So if i close my eyes, would the world cease to exist? NO. And the fact was that there were Red Cross personnels around the holding area, just that not many people might have realised it because more than half of the people that came on Saturday itself did not make it to audition!

However, i'd agree with the fact that the locations of the queue was quite terrible, if i'd say so myself. Queuing for more than 12 hours under the hot sun can be quite taxing even with the umbrella.

But i'm not complaining, i did my auditions on the day itself, and i'm satisfied...

(I hope i don't sound like i'm verbally bashing up the person who made those comments... It's just my 2 pence worth...)
