Had my weekly dose of Singapore Idol yesterday night... Yesterday's performances were such a letdown and the judges' comments offered nothing constructive or meaningful to help improve the idols' performances. In fact, I think it's the exact same comments (very strong, very powerful vocals... der)

The judges seemed to adore Taufik a lot while at the same time, deriding sylvester's bad pronunciation. Week in week out, the "idols" churned out songs that were virtually unknown/ unheard of in our era, so there's not much of a comparison to make... The novelty has worn off and their performances r beginning to become stale.

I had a long sms discussion with my friend who insisted that Sylvester is a big Joker with lacklustre singing talent and awful mannerisms (Remember the signature "finger-pointing")... So there's an anti-Sly camp out there hoping secretly that he will be voted our this week... Ha.. But I kind of support Sylvester Not Because of the support-underdog-mentality but because he has the most potential to break into the Chinese Market and certainly the most marketable among the idol finalists. His vocals isn't that terrible ... so it shouldn't be much of a problem.

Whether or not he can sing is not important... What's more important is to have crazy young fans willing to fork out their savings to buy cds and vote for him...
