#452 - Asian Idol 2007

ENGLISH

Last weekend, Asian Idol was telecasted on tv. All 6 idols sang 2 songs each, 1 in English, and 1 in their native language. My scoring:

1. Jaclyn Victor (Malaysia)
- For Once in My Life : 8.5
- Gemilang : 9
Average : 8.75

2. Hady Mirza (Singapore)
- Berserah : 8
- Beautiful Day : 7 (he should be more powerful than that for that song)
Average : 7.5

3. Phuong Vy (Vietnam)
- River Deep Mountain High : 8.5
- Luc Moi Yeu : 7 (she should have picked something else which is more challenging, IMO)
Average : 7.75

4. Mau Marcello (Philippines)
- Ako Ang Nagwagi : 8.5
- Reach : 9
Average : 8.75

5. Abhijeet Sawant (India)
- Everything I Do : 8
- Junoon : 7.5 (I normally dun like Indian song, but he sang it with modern style and that made me not hate it that much)
Average : 7.75

6. Mike Mohede (Indonesia)
- Mengejar Matahari : 8.5
- I Believe I Can Fly : 9 (it's great, but why didn't he pick another song??)
Average : 8.75

So, I think the best were Mike, Mau, and Jaclyn. Guess what?? After the vote, the winner is Hady Mirza. Arrrgggghhhh.... . I think he was the worst of the night (he was not that bad actually, but some other contestants were just better than him). How could he win?? Hmmm... . I dunno, there might be several reasons. Ken Lim (Singaporean judge) was right, Asia wasn't gonna vote based on how good they sang, haha... ;)

Anyway, congratulations Hady for winning the show.

BAHASA INDONESIA

Wiken kemarin, Asian Idol ditayangkan tuh di tv. Semua 6 idol menyanyikan masing-masing 2 buah lagu, 1 pake Bahasa Inggris dan 1 pake bahasa lokal mereka. Penilaian saya:

1. Jaclyn Victor (Malaysia)
- For Once in My Life : 8.5
- Gemilang : 9
Rerata : 8.75

2. Hady Mirza (Singapore)
- Berserah : 8
- Beautiful Day : 7 (dia harusnya lebih kuat lagi nyanyi lagi ini)
Rerata : 7.5

3. Phuong Vy (Vietnam)
- River Deep Mountain High : 8.5
- Luc Moi Yeu : 7 (dia harusnya milih lagu lain yang lebih menantang tuh, menurut saya sih)
Rerata : 7.75

4. Mau Marcello (Philippines)
- Ako Ang Nagwagi : 8.5
- Reach : 9
Rerata : 8.75

5. Abhijeet Sawant (India)
- Everything I Do : 8
- Junoon : 7.5 (biasanya aku ga suka lagi India, tapi dia nyanyi dengan gaya modern dan itu membuat aku ya nggak benci lagunya)
Rerata : 7.75

6. Mike Mohede (Indonesia)
- Mengejar Matahari : 8.5
- I Believe I Can Fly : 9 (bagus sih, cuma kenapa dia NGGAK memilih lagu lain??)
Rerata : 8.75

Jadi, menurut saya yang terbaik ya Mike, Mau, dan Jaclyn tuh. Tapi bagaimana?? Setelah voting, pemenangnya adalah Hady Mirza. Arrrgggghhhh.... . Menurut saya dia yang terburuk malam itu (dia nggak sejelek itu sih sebenernya, tapi kontestan lain yang lebih bagus aja). Bagaimana dia bisa menang?? Hmmm... . Gatau sih, mungkin ada beberapa alasan. Ken Lim (juri dari Singapore) ternyata benar, Asia nggak akan menilai berdasarkan seberapa bagus mereka menyanyi, haha... ;)

Udah lah, selamat buat Hady telah memenangkan kontes ini.
