And our first Asian Idol is…
…surprisingly, unexpectedly, and it literally made my jaw dropped almost to the floor.
I don’t usually care about American Idol - so much drama, not much talent - especially during the pre-screening. But Asian Idol is(was) sorta fun to watch - because all six of them are extremely amazing!
And what happened tonight really tickled me to say something.
I didn’t get to watch the Saturday show, so I didn’t really know how they did when they were singing solo.
Mike’s voice always gives me goosebumps. But when he sang with Guy Sebastian, he did sound nervous and was outperformed a little. Really wasn’t his fault of course. Unlike Mike, Guy had no pressure at all. Of course he was singing out loud - all out! If I were a Mike at that time, I probably would have been lucky if I could even breath at all!
Jac, I thought she was super! She’s a very strong singer. But you know what - damn she’s got attitude, smile some more girl - she looks hmmm how can I say this nicely…(no, I can’t) - she looks arrogant when she’s not smiling.
The other four are great singers - and that’s all I can say!
I was not sure of Mike - especially when he was singing that last song solo. It just wasn’t him. But when he was singing "When You Tell Me That You Love Me" with the others..oh gosh he totally melted my heart. Hell yea, I was rooting for him!
My heart beat was so fast when I looked at Daniel and Ata when they were about to announce the winner. I thought - either they’re great actors or Mike’s not winning - because their faces were way too serious.
I was disappointed.
But Hadi is a great singer too. So..I guess..congratulations Asia. You have your winner!
P.S. Really? Taylor Hicks?
