jUst being me.

I did not watch Singapore Idol until my best friend Adel, refused to go out on a Wednesday night and we were forced to have a gathering at Audrey’s place so as to catch the wannabes in action on channel 5.

At 8pm, we were all sitting in front of the tv with a packet of Lays. I must say, that session in front of Singapore Idol was entertaining indeed. You have no idea how bitchy the 4 of us were. I remembered Joaquim was still standing in that episode.

Since then, I will catch the Singapore idol if I were home on a Wed night. So far, i only watched 1 more episode.

I love Hady Mirza. He’s good looking and sings really well. Jonathan did his last song really well. Has a great package and the X factor. If you ask me, he is not good looking. Just, X.

From a marketing point of view, my take is for Jonathan to win although I would prefer Hady. This is because the last idol was a Suria winner and I would not presume it will be another Suria star.

Sms till you burn a hole in the pocket. The winner has been decided. These publicities are just ways to churn out more revenue from 1) sms, 2) Airtime. With all the hype, the station only benefits with more commercials. It does not matter who the winner is, these guys are just puppets used to create controversies and with it, more money.

One thing for sure is, Jonathan will be signed by a Chinese record company to cut an album and probably turned actor in time to come with Mediacorp. He is like an Ekin Cheung with a Singaporean slang. Hady will become the next ‘tauhu’ or is it ‘Tauguah’ whom, i don’t really hear much of these days. Maybe its becoz I never tuned to Suria. Oops, I just remembered he is taufik?

I predicted Chen Wei Lian to be the winner of Project superstar becoz there are many other singers out there like Kelly. What makes her different? How often do you get a Ray charles? Singapore will be the FIRST asian country to produce a handicapped singer and this is publicity already. Always be the first to do anything. People remember you that way. With this analysis, I wasn’t surprised when he was the winner. Afterall, whether Kelly won or not, she will get to cut an album anyway. By the time they both got into the finals, they were winners already. Months of publicity, win or lose.

Thus, if my marketing foresight does not fail me again, I believe Jonathan will emerge victorious. He has too many Chinese mei meis backing him up. I see him making it big in Taiwan in time to come if he lands himself in good hands. To me, he is an acquired taste.

And you guessed it. I must be bored today to be writing this blog. ha! Bet you din expect it from me. ITs always nice to add a twist to my somewhat ‘EXPECTED’ entries. ITs time to ‘Wow’ a lil bit.
