NINE out (**fuhhhh.....); One In A Million (OIAM3) TOP 3 Live Show

With due respect... at last Nine was voted out last nite, and this time Malaysia definitely got it 100% right, it should had happened lllllooooonnnnnnnggggg ago (when Rizu was eliminated in Top 6 show).. As I said before, I really wanna see new and fresh talent to be in the Grand Finale... Having said that, I don't like the idea of having either top 2 or top 3 in the grand finale.. Making it even worse by letting the audience to vote and choose their preference on the grand finale.. It is just pathetic..!!! Can't their decide on their own..?? It should be ONLY 2 contestant in the grand finale, why must 3??? I guess the motive behind this move is to maintain the top 3 regular fans' votes.. loosing one of them meaning loosing a large amount of profit... Come on Mr.Producer.. OIAM3 is at its best as per se, and no drama/hidden motive required...

Back to the show.. Marion look so hot and awesome last nite... her wardrobe was so gorgeous.. Awal?? Better than last week...

TOP 3

TOMOK
(1st Round)
Crazy in love - Beyonce
Pitching and vocal issues were very obvious last nite.. When i really listened to his voice, i found that he really pushing his vocal so hard to the extent of that it become awful.. Performance wise.. it was ok but kinda boring because he's been performing such performance for the past 4/5 weeks.. No new elements from him.. We have seen the same and monotonous Tomok for few weeks now... *duh...

(2nd Round)
Coba - Faizal Tahir
omg..omg..omg.. NERDY Tomok.. what the heck with that spectacles...it was really zillion times awful.. But his 2nd performance was great.. emotionally great.. connected well with the song.. the audience can feel it too.. I can feel it too.. It was superb performance from him.. memorable performance.. but pls do no cry.. it was not necessary..

Recommendation for Grand Finale:
*Pick moderate tempo songs that do not have high pitch, because Tomok sounded awful when pushing his voice so hard.
*do not cry.. it is unprofessional..

ESTHER
(1st Round)
Better In Time - Leona Lewis
This is her most memorable performance in the competition.. and last nite, once again she nailed the song.. emotionally great.. her strength is of course her emotion.. she really have the aura of being connected to her audience with her song... great performance from Esther.. luv it..

(2nd Round)
I Won't Go Home Without You - Maroon 5
omg..omg..omg.. SAME outfit when she first performed the song in Top 8 show.. Anyhow, last nite she tried something new in her performance when she invited Rizu to dance with her on the stage.. it was a great move but pity because she did not make use of Rizu to add more drama and entertainment value, rather than just a dance... but overall, it was entertaining.. vocal wise..OK..

Recommendation for Grand Finale:
*Pick songs from Mariah Carey and/or Cristina Aguilera to show her true vocal..
*do not do unnecessary gimmicks pls...

AWEERA
(1st Round)
Gemilang - Jaclyn Victor
Speechless... not because it was good but because of too many pitching problem.. on the verge of 'sumbang'.. No more 'gemilang'.. but he improved a lot especially on his stage presentation.. he was more confident and looked comfortable on stage..

(2nd Round)
Aku Dah Bosan - Search
copycat 100% copycat of Amy Search and i hated it.. But his 1st note was brilliant.. it was really unique.. but as the song progresses, it became boring towards the end.. But again he nailed his last note with great high pitch.. vocally=copycat.. Performance=OK..

Recommendation for Grand Finale:
*Learn from Adam Lambert.. learn how he picked a song and changed it to suited his voice and vocal range.. Go and watch all his performances..
*more variations/elements needed in the performance..

FOR GRAND FINALE.. ESTHER AND AWEERA....ONLY...

OIAM3: Amylea Terkilan

Story and Pics courtesy of gua.com.my

“Ada terasa nak pengsan di atas pentas tadi tapi malulah,” kata Amylea. “Setiap minggu, memang saya ada rasa yang saya akan terkeluar. Tapi perasaan itu tak sehebat malam ini.”

Ceritanya, perkara yang menyebabkan dia “sangat-sangat terkilan” adalah tidak berpeluang membuat persembahan yang telah disediakan untuk tema minggu ini, ‘In Concert’. Bukannya kerana dia kalah “kerana sesiapa pun boleh kalah dan itu satu realiti pertandingan yang tidak boleh diubah”.

Seluruh ahli keluarga (biasanya, hanya ayahnya yang akan hadir) dan saudara-mara, sahabat-handai hadir malam ini untuk melihatnya membuat persembahan. “Sebaliknya, mereka datang untuk melihat saya tersingkir.” Tambahnya, jika dikekalkan malam ini, persembahan yang bakal disajikan adalah yang terbaik darinya.

“I put a lot of effort into it dan semuanya dirancangkan sendiri seperti arrangement … Kebiasaannya kami cuma diberi dua minit untuk membuat persembahan tetapi kali ini kami mempunyai empat minit dan saya ingin menunjukkan kepada Malaysia cara saya membuat persembahan.

“Saya betul-betul nak perform. Semua kelemahan saya sebelum ini saya kumpulkan dan saya go through every detail dan hasilnya adalah persembahan ini. Malah saya sendiri pun rasa ini bakal menjadi persembahan terbaik saya. (Paul Moss yang sempat melihat sesi latihan Amylea juga merasakan ia amat bagus.)

"Jika penyingkiran dilakukan di akhir rancangan selepas saya membuat persembahan, tidak akan saya merasa begini. Tuhan saja yang tahu apa yang saya rasa. Rasanya macam ditipu promoter. Kata nak buat konsert tapi ... Nasib baik saya ada rekod. Sekurang-kurangnya dapat saya letak di YouTube.”

Dedah Amylea lagi, duit kemenangan RM1juta itu sepatutnya digunakan untuk membiayai pembelajarannya di sekolah muzik terkenal, Berklee College of Music di Amerika.

“Apa yang saya pelajari akan dimanfaatkan kepada artis-artis lain. Hasrat saya untuk kongsikan duit itu dengan penyanyi-penyanyi muda dan mereka yang berbakat dalam bidang muzik. Penyertaan saya di dalam OIAM bukan untuk menjadi terkenal. Kalau itu tujuan saya, baik saya cipta saja kontroversi. Saya kecewa kerana gagal merealisasikan impian saya itu. Tapi, sekurang-kurangnya, lagu saya “Aku Dan Mimpi” dimainkan di dalam drama ‘Merah Putih’.

“Itu adalah karya terakhir saya sebelum memasuki OIAM. Sepanjang lima bulan saya disini, saya tidak dapat berjumpa keluarga, tak buat show … Saya banyak berkorban tapi saya bukan lah pulang dengan tangan kosong. Pengalaman yang saya perolehi di OIAM susah untuk digambarkan dengan kata-kata.

“Masa saya keluar Akademi Fantasia dulu, saya masih terasa kosong. Tapi Tuhan menunjukkan kali ini bila saya terkeluar baru saya faham sejauh mana passion saya di dalam bidang muzik. Tak pernah saya terasa begini, berkobar-kobar semangat saya nak naik pentas dan membuat persembahan, bagaimana pentas itu kepunyaan saya. Barulah saya sedar pentas itu adalah hidup saya.”

(..this shows that OIAM better than AF...wakakaka)

Memilih Tomok sebagai calonnya untuk menjuarai musim ketiga OIAM, Amylea berharap penyingkirannya bukan disebabkan statusnya sebagai artis. Kerana menurutnya, jika dibandingkan, Esther lebih berpengalaman darinya dalam bidang ini kerana sudah mula menyanyi sejak dia berumur dalam lingkungan 16 tahun padahal Amylea mula menyanyi pada usia 19 tahun.

“Saya tahu ramai yang menyangka saya tahu banyak perkara tentang muzik tetapi saya tidak tahu-menahu apa-apa pun. Kebolehan saya bermain gitar hanya kerana saya belajar chords-nya.”

Ditanya jika ada apa-apa yang akan dibuat berlainan jika diberi peluang mengulangi pertandingan ini semula, katanya, “Kesemuanya sebab saya tidak berpuas hati dengan apa yang telah saya lakukan.”

Tentang perancangannya selepas ini, Amylea memberitahu dia ingin berehat seketika sebelum membuat sebarang rancangan, lebih-lebih lagi bila syarikat pengurusannya, Maestro, sudah tiada lagi.

Amylea OUT.. One In A Million (OIAM 3) Top 4 Show

Picture courtesy of amyleagallery.blogspot.com

Hi loyal reader..

Firstly, again i like the introduction VT which make the show more exciting.. Full of suspense and drama.. secondly, I hate Awal's wardrobe... what the heck... so not fit with the theme, which was 'In-concert'.. His shirt was very brutal-ish, yet wore a shawl?????... But it is not our main concern..

Elimination round.. Bottom 2: Nine and Amylea.. OUT: AMYLEA... Shocked??? Nope... I was expecting Nine to be voted out, but as I have said last week, let's say NO to the existing artists.. Who go first?? Who cares??

Opening performance by Dafi and Shila was entertaining.. kinda AF vs OIAM.. Definitely Shila outperformed Dafi, vocally and stage present.. Anyhow, Dafi showed tremendous improvement on his voice ever since 'graduated' from AF... As the top 4 contestant joining them in, the performance became even greater and entertaining.. thumbs up guys..

TOP 4 Show..

Last nite, each contestant was given 4 minutes to performs 'in-concert' style, which mean, they are to figure out their own concert performance, be it in term of showmanship, songs selection, music arrangement, or even the props that they going to used.. Their performance is to attract and make the audiences feel like the real concert.. Let's see...

NINE
(Keroncong untuk Ana-M.Nasir)
He sang M.Nasir song with 3 different genre.. The opening gimmick was superb and nice; very sarawak-ish.. BUT he awfully hit his 1st note.. sumbang.. But he was able to picked up very fast.. Suddenly out of no-where, a group of 4 choir appeared with WHAT??? a plastic cup in their hand.. what was that for?? I don't get it.. candles?? I did not see any candle lit??.. The transition of genre in the middle of his performance was not smooth.. He even sang off tempo in the beginning.. Overall, he was good.. his performance was just okay.. but vocally not great yet.. too many annoying vibrator.. And i agree with Syafinaz, we feel bored at the middle of his performance..

TOMOK
(songs from Alleycats)

Emotionally.. He was great... He really feels and have connection with all the songs he sang.. Stage presentation was excellent.. it really shows how experienced-singer he is.. I really like his performance, the transition of song and music arrangement were superb.. But vocally, it was not great enough for the show.. And what Syafinaz said is true.. It was an expected performance, and i think it was corny as well.. He should give more on the unexpected elements in his future performance..

Esther
(One Night Only - Jennifer Hudson)
(malay song..hahaa can't get the title of the song - diva)
(Keeps getting better - Cristina Aguilera)
Props used (couch and picture of Paul Moss) were an excellent idea.. But I personally think that the 1st song is a wrong choice of song.. It was not great and didn't give a great impact to the audience.. But 2nd song with the used of Paul's pic was a very superb performance.. great drama and really entertaining, especially after what Paul said on her performance last week.. 3rd song shows how energetic she was and the connection she had with the song was undisputed.. It flows thru to the audience as well.. I can feel her.. Wah...

Aweera
(Tak Ada Logika -Agnes Monica, and Emanipasi)
"Cinta ini..." that's how he started his performance and it was really off pitch.. But how he walked to the stage (from the audience) was really nice.. The lighting and the echo was really great.. he was lucky to be given all these extra 'help' because it really made his performance like a real concert.. BUT his performance on the 1st two songs was not great.. too many pitching issues.. He did not feel the songs.. He looked awkward and stiff.. with no facial expression that fit the songs.. It was really an amateur performance.. But his high note and the 'screaming' parts were excellent.. that was his strength.. He was good but lack of something that awe the audience, and i guess it was the 'X-Factor'..

Malaysia, come on and vote for Esther and Aweera to be in the Grand Finale this season.. As the show wanted to search for a real talent to promote them to become a successful artist, let us make 'Esther vs Aweera' final become a reality.. We want to see fresh and new talent rather that making existing artist to be an artist.. weird huh??

Simon Out.. One In A Million (OIAM) Top 5 Show

Again for two consecutive weeks, Malaysia wrongly voted out the wrong contestant.. After seeing the big voice Rizu out last week, last nite another great contender left the show. It was Simon who were voted out and I can't believe that Nine is still in the running.. It was such a shame that voters really looking at the wrong criteria in voting.. come on Malaysia, grow up!..

Back to the show.. Again, the intro clip was fantastic.. it was full of drama and suspense, which made me really excited and couldn't wait for the result and performances... When they announced the bottom 3, i was like so shocked seeing Esther in the bottom 3 together with Simon and the awful Nine.. Anyway I expecting Nine to go yet it was a complete disaster when the voters still want him in.. Simon going out.. he was way better than the wannabe Nine.. Simon final performance, was very emotional and he showed a couple of improvements especially in the stage presentation. Good luck Simon.. your husky and unique vocal is certainly your strength..

TOP 5 SHOW.. Last nite was Sheila Majid's songs week where the contestants required to sing her song.. Dato' Sheila Majid huh?? I did not know she is a DATO?? COngratez.. it seems that more and more celebrities were given the title.. good or bad?? Sendri mau fikir...

Amylea - Dia
I like the new and fresh arrangement.. very catchy.. yet overall, it just good and it wasn't great.. She's playing safe.. vocally, good..

Nine - Pengemis Muda
He was indeed 'pengemis' votes.. Low register, OUT,.. Something wrong with the performance, where the music was louder than his voice, can't really hear what he was saying.. Messy performance with a lot of pitching problem.. unoriginal voice or rather hypocrite performance.. no connection with the audience.. Overall, I WANT HIM OUT..

Aweera - Antara Anyer dan Jakarta
1st note, OUT.. Great pitching issue throughout the 1st verse.. Off tempo at the beginning at the song.. Anyway, his strength was really his high notes, which made him easily be remembered by the audiences.

Esther - Lagenda
Singing without music in the beginning of the performance was indeed not easy to get the right key.. but she was just amazing and superb.. she was fantastic.. her emotional connection was really her strength.. Paul however made some something-fishy-comments, which was really 100% untrue and driven by some hidden-motives.. How could he??? And yet he earlier compliment Nine??? I knew Paul has his own favorites..

Or to be positive..

Maybe Paul was not himself last nite.. Maybe he had set a higher bar for Esther, and expecting more and greater showmanship.. That is why even the boring and awful performance by Nine was considered GREAT by Paul.. Whatever...

Tomok - Aku Cinta Padamu
Same formulae, which i mentioned last week.. I felt boring with his style.. Improvement = NONE.. Nothing new in his performance..

Malaysia, STOP voting for all the existing artists in OIAM3.. Lets make way for a new and fresh talents.. Esther vs Aweera for the grand finale..

I just hope any of these three will be voted out in the remaining elimination rounds:
Tomok, Amylea, and Nine..
Who go first? Who cares?..

To avoid Esther in the bottom 3 next week.. please...

With so many of them holdings important portfolios, I just hope that they could have stronger voice in the government especially in ensuring the sovereignty of Sabah, which we all know, was challenged recently in Lahad Datu.

TOLONGLAH JANGAN LAGI..cuz.. I love Sabah so much..

Sabah oh Sabah.. apa suda jadi??? Kenapa kah insiden yang mengancam kedaulatan negeri kita ini berlaku baru-baru ini secara terang-terangan..?? Sa pun trus takut nie.. marah pun ada.. sakit hati pun banyak.. You know what i'm talking about bah kan.. insiden yang bakar bendera dan kejadian tembak-menembak di LD tue...

Sampai bila la bah kita mo hidup dalam keadaan tidak selamat ni??? Sa petik berita nie dari sini..

"...Dalam pada itu, Ketua Menteri Sabah Datuk Seri Musa Aman berkata insiden membakar bendera di Lahad Datu, Sabtu lepas (4/4/09), sebagai serius yang boleh mencetus rusuhan awam dan menimbulkan keadaan huru-hara..."

"...Dalam kejadian pukul 8.40 pagi itu, 12 orang termasuk seorang yang mendakwa dirinya dari keturunan Sultan Sulu, ditahan kerana membakar enam bendera negeri Sabah di hadapan pasar pekan Lahat Datu dan di sebuah pasar raya di situ.."

Kenapa pula pihak polis mendakwa kumpulan 'pembakar bendera' tu sebagai perhimpunan haram sahaja?? omg... ianya bukan perhimpunan haram semata-mata tapi lebih kepada ancaman kedaulatan negara Malaysia secara langsung...

Sebagai rakyat Sabah, kita mesti ndak mo kita hidup dalam serba ketakutan saja bah kan.. trus pandai berfikir ni macam mana nasib kita hidup macam orang asing di Negeri sendiri????

Oleh itu, sa harap pemimpin2 Sabah dan Persekutuan buka la mata dan hati luas-luas, seluas-luasnya dan selamatkan lah Sabah dari terus diancam...

Bagi kita rakyat biasa, apa yang kita boleh buat secara indirect untuk menyelamatkan Sabah ialah:

1) TOLONGLAH JANGAN lagi bili sigup murah yang 'dorang' jual, jgn kerana mo jimat.. kita gadai negara.. Kalu nda sanggup bli sigup original yang mahal SIKIT, hisap 'KIRAI' atau bgs berenti trus, sihat tubuh badan..

2) TOLONGLAH JANGAN lagi bili brg2 apa jak dorang jual.. dorang slalu mai jalan2 pi kadai2 kupi tue, jual cd lar, payung lar, kain lar, towels lar..mcm-mcm lagi lar.. kaya dorang nanti..

3) TOLONGLAH JANGAN lagi kahwin sma dorang... kasitau kwn2 or saudara2 kmu.. Ramai lagi sumandak2 dan tanak vagu yang jauh lebih cantik/handsome..

4) TOLONGLAH JANGAN lagi kasih pinjam kah, sewa kah, jual kah, tanah2 kamu atau rumah2 kamu untuk dorang bertapak... gara2 tamaha, sampai kedaulatan pun kita sanggup jual..

5) TOLONGLAH JANGAN lagi kasi dorang kontrak2 atau kerja2 kalu kamu mo buat renovation di rumah kamu.. bagus kamu emel saya... sa cari kamu orang local.. biar mahal sikit bah, ingat pasal negeri kita SABAH..

6) TOLONGLAH JANGAN lagi ambil dorang kerja di kadai2 kamu, paling bnyk sa nampak di kedai2 kopi dan di pasaraya2 besar di Penampang... kasian org2 local bnyk menganggur..

7) TOLONGLAH JANGAN lagi bagi duit sama anak2 dorang di siring2 jalan KK... dorang 'mundaum' mai tue.. trus syok dorang tinggal sni.. anak2 kita yang ndak selamat next time jalan2 di KK..

8) TOLONGLAH JANGAN undi pemimpin yang tidak ada niat mo bersihkan Sabah daripada semua nie... As human, normally we can tell by looking at the calon.. trust me..

9) TOLONGLAH JANGAN lupa sambayang hari2 supaya Sabah kita akan selalu selamat dan dapat atasi isu2 ini, sambayang juga untuk pemimpin2 kita supaya dorang jujur memperjuangkan hak Sabah..

dan banyak lagi lar yang kita buli buat tapi mungkin sa lupa mo tulis... bah, pandai2 la kmu tambah..

Bukan kita mo jadi MEAN la bah cuz i know dorang pun manusia juga, tapi lama sudah bah kita begini kan.. buka la hati kamu luas2.. ingat sa punya 'commandment' di atas.. TOLONGLAH!!!!

p/s dBOS, thanks sebab kasi post tu artikel yang trus sa mo buat ni artikel..

AF7 cuba kembali di Konsert keempat TAPI Keputusan undian mencemarkan prestasi AF..

Konsert keempat AF7 malam ni merupakan konsert terbaik produksi AF7 setakat ini. Lagu-lagu pilihan dan suasana konsert mula terasa sepertimana yang biasa kita alami pada tahun-tahun sudah.

Persembahan para pelajar juga menunjukkan peningkatan ketara bukan sahaja dari segi vokal malah stage-present juga menunjukkan prestasi ketara.

Tambahan pula, pada malam ini, kita berpeluang mendengar komen-komen daripada dua artis tersohor tanahair, iaitu Datuk Siti Nurhaliza dan Raja Rock, Amy Search. Walau bagaimanapun, Amy dilihat kurang berkemampuan dalam memberikan kritikan-kritikan yang bernas dan sesuai.

Malam konsert ke4, salah satu transformasi yang ketara ditunjukkan ialah 'contents' kepada vt introduction pelajar. Ianya terikut-ikut kepada contents American Idol dan ianya merupakan sesuatu yang tidak sepatutnya berlaku. Transformasi AF sepatutnya menjurus kepada identiti AF dan ORIGINAL.. Sekiranya setakat mengikut program lain, lupakan TRANSFORMASI tersebut.

Secara ringkas mengenai persembahan pelajar minggu ini:

Aishah
Good vocal and performance.
A lil bit pitching problem.
Corny and not sincere.

Qhaud
Make-up and foundation muka yang hancur..
Song suited him but the song itself is not entertaining.
Vocally, he's Okay.
His 2nd round performance was disaster tho'.

Claudia
Superb vocal and great tone.
Stage present-Good.
Minor error: Berlutut during persembahan which we already saw during 1st concert by Rubisa.

Aril
Low Notes: Hancur
Movement: Good but ANNOYING
Wannabe performance.

Yazid
Sedikit sumbang especially during sustaining notes.
Foundation kat muka really teruk.
Movement: Kaku and keras.
Nervous but at least boleh nampak kejujuran persembahan Yazid.

Akim
Superb performance and the best of the nite.
Effortless and really ada star value. Nice Vocal indeed.. unique and husky.
Frontrunner at the moment. Malaysia should made him a winner.

Isma
Nampak sangat awkard nyanyi lagu nie.. very insincere performance..@hipokrit..
Vocally, nice.

Rubisa
Foundation/make-up juga teruk.
Nice performance and vocally, she was great.

Hafiz
Low note ada problem. First note pun ada pitchy sikit.
A lil bit down performance this week. Anyhow, he is still great. BUT be careful, cuz macam tiada new things from the very 1st concert.

Sidi
PArapaap... hancur.. Movement totally OUT especially time nak bangun dari kerusi..
OUT OUT OUT (sepatutnya.. tapi banyak peminatnya or pengundi2 AF ni buta seni).

Zizi
Superb and fantastic with song that suited her well.
Vocally, just okay.

GROUP PERFORMANCE (ISABELLA & Jerat Percintaan)
Everyone performs great except SIDI and Aril...

Elimination round:
Rubisa dan Zizi terkeluar akibat KEBUTAAN SENI para pengundi2 AF yang terlalu pentingkan elemen-elemen lain dan men'tempat kedua-kan' bakat dan persembahan...

Teori disebalik penyingkiran Rubisa dan Zizi:
Orang Sabah kurang tengok AF suda kerana mengalihkan perhatian kepada OIAM, di mana bakat peserta lebih mendapat penghargaan.

Orang Sabah tidak AFUNDI lagi kerana mereka lebih suka YES... kecuali keluarga dan saudara terdekat Rubisa dan Zizi.

Walau apapun.. konsert kali ini memang mula menampakkan aura dan semangat AF yang selama ini terkubur.

Rizu Shouldn't be voted out.. Malaysia get it wrong.. One In A Million (OIAM3) TOP 6

Hi all..

Firstly, again I would like to applaud OIAM for having a very nice and best opening montage (or rather opening vt).. it was full of drama and suspense, which made me really excited on the show.

Elimination round: As per my review last week, i really hope that Nine will be voted out. BUT I shook when they didn't called Nine to be in the bottom 3. Oh ye, Simon was there cuz i predicted him to be in troubled as well based on last week performance. Then they called upon Rizu and Aweera.. omg, I can smelled an upset going to happen..

As we all know, all bottom 3 contestants are unique per se and has a very great different-type of vocal.

As they announce Rizu's name as someone that will be voted out, i again shook my head.. i know Malaysia got it wrong as he is one of the strong contender of the show.. i know he will not win the 1mil, but its not the time yet for him to go.. he should be at least in the top 4.. It should be Nine.. ya NINE should go, Malaysia! Nine is nothing compare to Rizu.. Nine's vocal is ordinary and lots and lots and lots and lots of singer (or perhaps people) can sing as good (or as bad) as Nine.. pity for Rizu..

These were proven when Rizu sang his last performance last nite, which of course, vocally was very strong although the song is bad.. His vocal range was superb and extraordinary for a male singer. Nonetheless, I have to accept the majority's choice..

TOP 6 SHOW

To begin, let me just extend my humble apology to the host, Awal, for labelling him as 'sissy' for i know it is indeed an offensive remark.. so Awal, I am so sorry.. In contrary to what i said before, he did a great job so far and i should have know the difficulties of being live show host..

Now to the performance.. At this stage, all contestants should be more focused and should come out with more extraordinary performance with a good song choice, because Malaysia know that all of them have great talent in singing with great vocal (except for NINE of course)..

Tomok
Umbrella - Rihanna
AGAIN, he did exactly the same on last nite performance. Woman's song with faster tempo.. Good performance of course but vocally i would say it was just okay because there's nothing special in his voice. I don't like the 'male-voice' at certain part of the song which made me feel that some female song should'n't be 'transvestited'..wakakwakak.. Anyhow, i like the 'ella..ella..ella' part.. Overall, it was good and superb from him.. just be extra careful of doing something over and over again.. people might get bored..

Amylea
Somewhere only we know-Keane (i hope i got it right!)
Amylea is a very good singer. Last nite thou' she was just being good with no extra ordinary vocal range and performance.. Not her best compared to what she did in the 'im yours' song.. As i said, at this stage they need to bombed us and make us feel awed..but she didn't.. it was just ordinary stage singing as in AF... The confidence level is great anyway..

Esther
Sweet about me-Gabrielle (I hope i got it right as well)..
Entertaining.. superb and vocally, no one can deny that she has a very unique and not-in-the-market-yet-vocal. She always suprised us with her props.. Last nite she showed her higher confidence level..BUT somehow i did not liked her performance.. maybe because of her song choice which seemed can't connect the audience very well.. Someone pls advise her on her song choice.. pick something that come from your heart and easily be transferred to your audiences..

Nine
Cinta gila - ???
Ah ha... this was the worst performance of the nite.. Still struggling with his song with pitching problems here and there.. Wrong song choice.. Star value??? NONE.. Definitely OUT next week...

Aweera
Di Penjara janji-Awie
In contra with the judges, I actually like his song choice.. it suited his voice and vocally he was great.. very unique and cool performance.. BUT.. sadly, the judges was right on the 'calendar' tho'.. Aweera should have creatively changed the arrangement of the song that suited the taste of the current era..

Simon
Livin' On A Prayer-Bon Jovi
Better confidence level.. Still like his husky voice.. but of course lack of originality which is the most important element in the show to enable you to go further into the competition.. Vocally, he was great but need to put in some extra 'ingredients' in his performance so that his performance be remembered and have a great impact on the audiences.

Overall, TOP 6 show was the best so far and by thousand miles is much better than AF.. wakakwakakawa....OIAM simply the stage for the contestant to show their true colors and learn to be creative in their performances..
