idol is back... (part one)

not exactly my intention to run a review of the show the entire season... but idol talk is always exciting... i still remember when back in cpg we wld hv chain emails bitching bout the ppl who were out of tune.. and supporting the ones that we like... so haha.. let me cash in on the comments!!

the format of the competition has changed this season... the final 24 is split into 12 guys and 12 girls... where each week 2guys and 2girls will be eliminated (those with the least vote).. this is opposed to the previous seasons where the top two of the weekly piano shows are voted in.... i guess this way it makes sure that the best make it to the final 12 and prevents any unfairness that comes from groups with lots of good singers or lots of bad singers...

anyway... after all the talk about how SEASON 4 sees the most talent... the first round of competition was rather disappointing... nothing really stood out except for one rendition of MOON RIVER... diversity is probably what the judges were trying to achieve when narrowing down to the final 12guys...
you hv the stevie wonders... the boy band worthy crooners with swoonsome looks.. the usher wannabes... the rockers.... and the fat one... (just to prove that this contest is about talent... but no fat girl leh....)

Favourite performance of the nite.. moon river by the music teacher with dreadlocks... the dreadlocks seem to hv gotten thinner.... but he's not exactly my fav contestant... my vote goes to TRAVIS... the tRIPLE tHREAT.... but somehow his rendition of my cherie amour was bland and unexciting... but no doubt he should survive the first week's elimination....

the two that i think will be cut this week... the fatboy SCOTT and the pseudo rocker and mr bean lookalike... CONSTANTINE... let's drop the duds and move on...

the girls will come on in half an hour's time.... shall catch up on my tv8 drama
