   Hady vs Jonathan….a much more interesting “match” than previous sgidol final. I reckon that this time round we won’t expect to have 65%35% votes…maybe 51%49% – most likely a close fight.

   I knew these two would come to this. I like them both. Its damn hard to choose. Hmmm…ken lim says to give them a fresh start and judge them on their performances that night. So…i cant wait

   but still….sgidol isnt very exciting as it should be since rahima, mathilda and jay are out so early. So who will be the final two became so much clearer.

   Oh and im not talking about joakim vs jasmine. That is sooo a disaster. Unpredictability in a good way i meant.

   Jasmine made a sweet exit as expected. Personally i feel Hady sings better than Jonathan as he mumbles his way throughout his song with that low voice. With that ah beng slang you cant figure out what Jonathan sings sometimes.

   Thumbs up for HADY, the next Singapore Idol!

   The beautiful Staccie Orrico has really given very very powerful advice. It is really so real. Testing my active listening skills these are the quotes from her from watching the video twice:

   “Writing songs is not neccessary a gift that one is born with like singing is. Its a skill that can be practiced and developed. Writing your own music will make all the difference in the world…Being able to..Not just the emotion, having the connection with the music is so so vital. The enjoyment level and the passion is totally different.”

   Paul you were in the studio, you should read keep this advice in mind. Your band and yourself should practice writing your own songs. This is real professional advice with substance and logic. Very close to Stacie’s heart, touched my heart too. I’m sorry to compare but its more real than Rui En’s advice on not being a sell-out but she is also doing her best to be a good example to the idols.

   that was a terrible rendition of That Thing You Do. they all looked half dead. i had so much fun rehearsing and performing it in sec school last time. hehe.

   anyways, i guess our support this time should go out to Gurmit… he’s been stumbling a lot lately on the shows… he’s very off-form now as an emcee… even saying that he was talking rubbish and walking away with a really gloomy face before passing the show to Jasmine before the credits rolled. whatever is wrong Gurmit… we’re here cheering you on to improve… may you host a rocking S’pore Idol Grand Finals dude.

   expected result, but not enough excitement through the last stages, as mathilda, rahimah are both out. its worth the effort and now i think that this idol series still have a reputation.hady and jon deserves it.

   well, erm
   i think jasmine being ousted do not bring many viewers back to this forum. i think that this season of the singapore idol is not much competiotion, although jon and hady deserves to get into grand finals.

   it will be so much a joy to see all top 12 compete with attitude and quality.and oso singapore to make the right choices.
   it will b so nice to c guys like jasmine, jon, hady, mathilda, paul, rahimah, jay to fight in those rounds.

   one more thing, i saw that wildcard show is extra in this singapore idol season.

   u c, norman voted out at top 12 show, gayle voted out at top 11 show, jay voted out at top 9 show and finnally mathilda who was voted out in top 7 show.none of them survive half the spectaculars.

   unlike in other shows, those in revival rounds(something like the wildcard show) often make it far in the competiton.

   norman, gayle,jay,ousted cos of song choice.
   rahimah, paul ousted cos they r not up to the standard.
   ousted cos they r weak, joakim, emillee
   ousted cos singapore dun vote but they r good man: mathilda, nurul

    Actually it is true that this year sgidol lost its excitement in the early stage. When we saw surprising results like why Mathilda was out so early when she is much much better than Jasmine + Joakim combine..to me, out of the top 12, only Hady, Jon and Mathilda can really sing in this singing contest (any of the 3 has an idol X-factor depending on how the winner will be marketed later). So when Mathilda was out early, I can see where this season sgidol going to be like. Thats made the top 2 to be more predictable.

    The rest had to depend on their fans (fan base) to save them. Paul, Jasmine, Jay, Rahimah and Noodle can actually sing but they are not there yet to be the singing idol. They probably can cut an album which will be pleasant to hear with the right song genre.

    Joakim was absolutely in the wrong competition/contest (he is a stage performer but definitely not a singer). If I want to organize donation drive function, I will not hesitate to have him around to help pull in the $$$. I do really admire his attitude/character in withstanding criticisms (for one so young). However, I have to say that he can only sing in a party or social function (and I doubt he can survive long – even in a Karoake competition!).

    The remaining 3s are there just to meet the number of “12″ (personally, I think sgidol should only need to do top 9 instead of top 12 as we don’t have that big of talent pool)

11. THe judge said

    am September 16 2006 @ 4:39 am

    think properly, going to the top 12 is rather difficult.
    u nid to get through a 2 out of 7 chance.
    or not 8 out of 20 ousted chance to get into wildcard show and then a four out of eight chance.
    in total, it is a 3 out of 7 chance.
    but im so disappointed to see those in piano show performing badly,.
    not only that, viewers decreased from the 1st season and so those voting r all fans . who have higher voting who gets in.especially piano show 4.
    those should go in should b mathilda and meryl, but comes out emillee and nurul.

    u noe why viewers decrease. there r so many star-searching contests! people get tired, unlike american where there is only american idol, so it is top 1 show.singapore host so many contests in 4 languages, so singaporeans dun really c the show, not to say vote for the show. as a result, the fans vote only, so despite a lack of quality guys like joakim still get their votes. its a popularity contest. so talents r usually covered.

    that is why mediacorp decided that THIS SECOND SEASON OF SINGAPORE IDOL WOULD B THE LAST SEASON.

    That is not true. America holds many more talent shows: Other than American Idol, there is Supernova, Nashville Star, Star Search (2004), Celebrity Duets.

    Therefore, one cannot attribute American Idol’s popularity and credibility to the fact that it is the only one out there. America’s Got Talent (no pun intended)– that’s basically the difference. Just look at Stacie Orrico.

    well…now we get to the hardest stage to make a choice. Lets compare weaknesses and strengths

    Jon- he tends to mumble. And i find that it does get unpleasant to hear especially when you really really listen carefully (second song on favourite song nite) He has beautiful low voice which i find mesmerizing…but only at times coupled with good song choice, attitude, and connectability. Other than that, he has the whole package, possess a seductive voice, great connection.

    HAdy- He is very versatile…rock,classic,r n b, what have you?…i cant find fault with his singing. His weakness lies in the lack of connection with the audience sometimes? There are one or two songs sung by hady that i just dont ‘feel’ it although its good.

    *mimics ANTM* So, will hady and jonathan please step forward. Two very talented guys stand before me and only one of you can be sgidol. So who goes home? the guy who mumbles but with great connectability? Or hady, the singing machine but sometimes lack of audience connection?

    …..The answer will be known at the end of OCt 2006.

    hady has the gift of a being a singapore idol.

    he is versatile, popular, handsome.
    well i think his package is wonderful. in the start of his competition(in auditions) he wasn’t that handsome after all. quite normal and bland. the power of designers and packaging.

    i totally agree with asianidol’s verdict.. but i think a singing competition people also need style. mathilda can sing, and style wise shes fine, but just doesnt appeal i guess. maybe its something to do with the so called x factor that only jon appears to have. go NUS~

16. Asian Idol said

    am September 18 2006 @ 6:09 am

    Here is my guess of what going to happen in the coming grand final.

    There are basically 3 factors that can win or break Jon from winning the idol this season.
    - he is cool….but unfortunately too cool to be an idol unless those voting for him mature enough to understand be sway by his charisma or coolness…sadly not the case for the idol contest
    - Hady seems to be holding back something (a past comments I have been observing from the judges)…and I might not surprise the TB’s fans are backing him (thx to TB’s comments, not that it matter much since Hady is a singer with or without such backing)
    - Joakim’s, Paul’s, Rahimah’s and Noodle’s “factors”. Where Mathilda’s fans are probably divided between supporting the 2 finalists, I suspected majority of Jasmine’s fans will support Jon. That 4 names I mentioned earlier have a huge teenage fan base. So far, where Jon’s charisma had won him the aunties and uncles loyalty, that charisma has not sway any teenager as easily unless the teenager can relate his coolness/charismatic to oneself. If Jon wants to be an idol, he got to win those group of fans – remember TB won the Niklodeon awards? Well imagine Jon’s and Hady vying for that award, who do you think will win? Can charisma win that vote? Bottomline, Hady has an edge over Jon where kids’ appeal matter….

    As for me, I give thumbs up to Hady…not that Jon is no good, but I suspect that Hady has something more that he had been hiding…or holding back. It will be one close fight…and I maybe wrong

    to the judge: i dun tink nurul is that gd actually. she’s kinda plain and doesnt have news value. though i must say that she has nice personality.

    rahimah..i said she worse cos she always sings flat..but she’ s gd n pretty too..

    out of rahimah, nurul and jasmine, clearly jasmine is better.

    To aa: I was replying to asianidol..JAsmine is good only when top 5 commences.

21. THe judge said

    am September 19 2006 @ 8:15 am

    personally, nurul should not b out tat round.
    then rahimah i tink is very good, i think she can actually make it to the top 4 or 5 without much of a problem.

    i think singapore idol really lacks talents. in whole, we should have a singer with quality.

    oso, maybe the judges could have some choice in the competition. fans do lack some judging ability, they ignore the judges, keep on voting despite poor performances and so this singapore idol is a letdown. i think it is wise to take out the show. we hardly find any true talents like mathilda in singapore and the other fans of other idols have to vote her out. in that case, audience obviously do not deserve to get the 100% decision as we will lose talents like mathilda and more.
    im not blaming joakim, but as whole he should improve and his fans mus make the right decisions. wad happens, it spoils the reputation of singapore idol.

    Well, may be its the conservative image pressure that restricts creativity and being edgy on stage in Singapore Idol. This is probably so much so that MediaCorp could be trying to keep the program very mainstream safe. Being safe restricts creativity towards how interesting a performance can be.

    What is really lacking in Singapore is quality time to do what we really like doing, especially if we have limitations in our very basic resources. We either have work long hours or we have to cope with attention demanding school work. We do not have time to watch videos over and over again to learn/research how professional pop stars sing and dance. And if we are not established in anything in the first place, its hard to network ourselves to image consultants and media-directors who can help us in this field.

    Having to either to go to school or having to work even a part-time job in order to survive would mean the performing arts would not be a priority. It would be a hobby, rather than the only meal ticket. Thus the drive and motivation to excel in it, will not be as strong.

    So we can’t blame the contestants, its already not easy for them to be there on TV. The judges are also governed by the Media who wants to keep the program safe for all ages. The audience…Well most of the working class audience do not take Singapore Idol seriously. Or also have no time to watch Singapore Idol live due to long working hours. Not all have available access to computers at home. Not many have discovered YouTube and Singapore Beauty. Singapore Idol needed working votes which would give much more right judgement to the Idol who would represent us in the international competition. But its just not met due to the mentioned reasons.

    Its just too bad…I don’t know how true it is, I heard that this season of Singapore Idol is going to be the last. I hope not I hope there will be more publicity of Singapore Idol the next time round to get more working class people to vote.

    Woohoo that was lengthy. PaulTwohillInfo, u were previously Sharon right? You seem to be one of the few who could tell a good singer from a… substandard one. So what’s your reason for idolizing Twohill instead? Peace.

    Spore Idol:
    Well I was like any working class audience who didn’t give two-hoots about Singapore Idol. I am never on time to watch SI at the programmed air time. Even in the first season I only happened to watch 1 episode where Oli was singing…didn’t even watch the result show to see if she was in or out.

    There happened to be a talk about Paul Twohill at my workplace which is surprising to come from serious working people like my collegues and clients. So I did a search on Paul Twohill, to find YouTube video clip uploads by Singapore Beauty. Watched the renditions on “Here Without You” and “Superman” and bam! That rendition elevated me to a whole different dimension, like Ja said “Paul..you gave me hope” (refer to http://www.paultwohill.info)

    I understand the limitations of a Singaporean young artiste so I didn’t have high expectations of the vocals. However I felt the emoting, the whole package of the hair, stage presence and star quality of Paul…eventually the consistency of identity…I felt Paul has what it takes to be the next Singapore Idol.

    Even as right now he is not the next Singapore Idol…I believe he will get more gigs, he will get more contracts. With the right mentoring (vocal+on-stage delivery, not my forte) and the right contacts and marketing (which I can be of help :þ) Paul Twohill can sell.

    I don’t idolize Paul like a teenage fan, its not easy for anyone to get my attention, esp someone who can be my son (in terms of maturity at this point of time). I just believe in that elevation from the 2 mentioned songs and I support Paul all the way.

    My nong nong reply to you Spore Idol, hope it answers your question.

    well im very sad bout the fact that singapore idol got last season le. mediacorp’s fade of having so many star searching contests is finally going down. but i would like to say that, singapore idol should not be last season. many other star-searching contests should end, but not singpore idol. but oso of the drop of viewers and quality. so maybe it should stop for 4 years or so and then come back again. maybe then, there is new found talents.

28. PaulTwohillinfo said

    am September 23 2006 @ 1:28 am

    Well I don’t think Singapore Idol is at its last yet, though many evidence such as SI website and some other interviews talking about this. However, according to the Electric New Paper:

    “..Mr Patrick Schult, director of operations in Asia for Fremantle Media, which co-owns the Idol format, insisted it’s ‘premature’ and ‘wrong’ to jump to conclusions.

    Discussions will take place only after the current season is fully judged and accessed.”

    So I think we shouldn’t speculate and jump into conclusions about it.
