Singapore Idol

Singapore Idol is an idiot.

I tuned in for the first time tonight. Well, not the first time,considering I stole some time from BBQ at batch chalet to catch 2 segments (approx 30mins?) of it. Today's show confirmed my lurking peeves:

- Hady Mirza is grossly underused, under-rated, and under-exposed. What a waste.
- Gurmit Singh is having bad hair.
- Ken Lim still talks rubbish and annoys me to hell. EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM ANNOYS ME. From his irrelevant, contrived comment and demeanour, to that horrible 7-11 advertisement. erk.
- Dick Lee's colourful wardrobe has more wit and humour in them than his pen-waving self.
- Florence Lian has good diction.
- the elimination of Tanna shows that the producers are so stupid they lack foresight (in a possible no-confidence-turns-superstar backstory. see Kelly Clarkson). It also shows that the judges favour "loud personalities" over potentially great local voices.
- to eliminate them on the bus, after they've nicely put their suitcases to rest, is not only troublesome, but insincere and rude. If they're trying to be inventive in their mode of elimination, please try harder.


Sigh. And I thought there's hope in Singapore Idol. They probably should hire Paula Abdul so that her antics can liven the show infinitely. Keeping my hopes up that there's truely talented people, or at least decent singers, this year.
