OIAM3 Winner SUCKS!!! Say NO to RECYCLED Winner

Ya... indeed i'm not in a mood of reviewing the show..

I just think that Tomok do not deserve the title for a lot of reason..

*He supposed to be voted out earlier but the show has it own motive to maximizing their profit cuz they know who his voters are.. they all got money.. I bet that 90% his votes come from one cluster of location ONLY..his family members.. I bet they will do the same for Isma later on to win AF7.. AND don't forget they have extra 1 million to ensure that to happen..

*The judges are truly, deeply, madly BIASED!!!! Malaysia know this prior to the grand finale for they admitted it when they were interviewed recently.. They openly want Tomok to win.. WHY?? (**sendri mo tau).. I don't see any powerful vocal from Tomok compare to Aweera and Esther whose vocal are more unique and marketable.. Labelling Tomok's second performance as the best of the nite was completely ridiculous..

*I said earlier 90% of Tomok's votes came from his cluster.. and another 10% definitely came from girls who voted because of his good looking (** is it??? duh...).. Buta seni betul...

*Revealing the leader board so many time during the show was unnecessary.. u know why, rite??? It was pathetic... I mean the producer.. So how much OIAM profit this season?? Satisfied?? Me myself LOSE RM30 for tonite only..

*AND the best reason would be.. He is already an artist.. *duh...

*UNFAIR for those who have been voted out to actually be given the chance to compete again.. it was like an AFMASUK in AF which triggered a lot of controversies and unsatisfactory of viewers.. Say NO to RECYCLED Winner!!!..

Wakakakaka... i know i am a lil bit emotion tonite..opsss..not a lil bit maybe...

Anyhow, here what i feel abt the grand finale;

*Opening VT and drama = Excellent

*The Host = Excellent

*Wardrobe of Awal n Marion = Excellent

*Wardrobe of all the TOP 12 = Excellent

* Aweera = GOOD

*Esther = Brilliant and Fantastic

*Tomok = RECYLED.. VOTED OUT (didn't deserved to be rated)

*Bunkface = GOOD

*Ayu = Great

*The Judges = SUCKS!!! BIASED!!!

*The result = SUCKS!!! T.T

*The winner = do not deserve it..so SUCKS!!

*Overall production = Better than AF of course.. BEST but the result is sucks.. **sigh

THE REAL WINNER of OIAM Season 3 is...

ESTHER

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...

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..

AND starting from last nite show onwards, there will be no more immunity to be granted to the best performer.. Please cast your votes to your favorite contestants.. Based on last nite performance, please vote for TOMOK, AMYLEA, ESTHER and SIMON.

Bottom 3: Simon, Aweera, and NINE (obviously)..

Voted out next week : NINE NINE NINE

UPDATED-One In A Million Season 3 - OIAM Top 7 show

Hi loyal reader..

Let just go directly to the show last nite.. Elimination round: Fify out..!! No big deal.. I've predicted it after all.. (review here)..wow! I am so proud of myself for being right for 2 consecutive weeks.. I can be guest judge suda (hahaha..perasan!). Well, you do not have to be professional singer/musician/composer/(..whoever lar yang ada education or experiences in this industry) to know who will be voted out this week.. unless of course ada 'sponsorer/s'.. Fify final performance pun tak OK..

Mmmmpphhh... this season, we started off with 7 girls and 5 boys in the final round. Now, we are down to ONLY 2 girls and STILL 5 boys.. What does it implies??? I have few hypotheses here that I would like to share;

1) More girls are watching the show than man.
2) REAL man do watch (like me..hahahah) but they did not vote..hahaha..
3) Most girls vote based on outlook (handsome, cute, whatever...) rather than talents (errmmmm..thats explained why Nine is still here..**sigh)
4) ermmmm...fikir sendiri lar...

Girls, no offence ah... you may have your own hypothesis, let me know..

Back to the show.. I would like to give a round (or 100 rounds) of applause to the production team last nite for serving us with a very great Top 7 show. It was indeed the besssssttt concert so far, in term of show's creativity and the elements included. Thank god.. Awal and Marion improved a lot especially Awal.. He did not overdoing his part and his 'sissy' style was no more to be found. Bravo Awal!! (**mcm Awal baca pula kritikan saya minggu lalu kan..perasan lagi!!). I like how they teased the contestants and i also like the 'main kena-kena' between Marion and Paul..it was just fantastic.. Overall, i really enjoyed the show last nite. (But the unwanted background when Marion/Awal introduced the next contestant was so like horrible.. and Rizu passed by in front of the camera pun a lil bit awful..) Anyhow, I still think it was a fantastic production.

HOWEVER.... performance wise...??? omg..the contestants' performances a bit dull and boring.. At this stage of competition (as said by the judges), what more important is to show their x-factor and come out with a solid and fantastic performance because we all know, vocally, they are good.. (except for Nine and Aweera).

Esther
Singing MCR's I don't love you should be an advantage for her due to the song's popularity.. I am MCR's die hard fan and I really really really love the song. Unfortunately, she killed the song completely..She did..!! And I am a lil bit disappointed. The arrangement was so BORING (with capital B).. What the heck was that.. some song shouldn't be changed thoroughly for you might accidentally omitted the strength of the beautiful-song... and sadly 'I don't love you' was brutally killed last nite.. Vocally, we know Esther was good and perfect tho'.

Rizu
I do agree with the judges.. Nothing special about his performance.. Vocally, he was good but the song itself is boring thus made him looked so boring... Wrong choice of song.. But I have to applaud him for being less annoying..hehehe..

Simon
It was really a karaoke performance from him.. He's a good singer but lack of confidence and no star value on the appearance.. do something lar Simon.. change your outfits for the sake of the competition and do not be so stubborn to maintain your ugly outdated fashion and appearance... really sayang lar your great and pleasant commercial-voice... Remember the show is looking for a current-star and not some sort of low-profile kind of entertainer..

Aweera
I like his song choice which is a crowd-pleaser kind of song.. It was an energetic performance.. but vocally, it was not OKAY.. I know he has a great high pitch vocal but last nite it just didn't showed..

Amylea
Singing her own song was indeed a wrong strategy.. at this stage she should sing a song that challenged her voice range and capability.. Vocally memang okay but as i said it was just okay.. biasa-biasa je and sometime i felf boring.. it was completely forgettable performance..

Nine
Bad song choice.. hate the song as well.. hate his movement on stage as well.. very annoying and unoriginal.. corny performance.. sometimes looked like wannabe kind of person.. Publisiti murahan lagi!!!! I thought i was watching BersamaMu TV3...


Tomok
Macam wannabe jugak Tomok ni.. nyanyi lagu Syafinaz.. kinda brave but idiot song choice.. I was kinda confused.. macam suka macam lebih banyak tidak suka pula.. to get immunity last nite was completely a joke.. but hanya jauhari sahaja mengenal manikam (**hmmm betul ka peribahasa I ni??)..

There you go... if i were the judge for last nite show.. i will not grant any of them the immunity.. they just don't deserve it .. OK ape if no weekly winner, it could be interesting as well...

Based on last nite concert.. the person that will be voted out next week will be the awful and wannabe NINE..

But anything could happen.. Simon and Amylea are also in deep trouble..

And since i am STILL Esther's fan..

Don't forget to cast your vote on Esther..

One In A Million Season 3 - OIAM Top 8 show

Hi loyal readers, I'm back...

First of all, I love the montage of OIAM this season.. very catchy and fully mendebarkan.. It made you couldn't wait to see the contestant.. for me lar..

Elimination round: What??? Simon in the bottom 2?? Luckily he didn't voted out.. Come on Malaysia, lets put him through into the final together with Esther (the favorite), and Aweera(the underdog).. omg, i have revealed my top 3 finalists.. hhahahaha... Yup, that's what i think we should do.. let just give chance to the new and fresh talents in the industry rather than seeing existing artist become the winner of this season.

Anith was shown the exit by voters. That wasn't a shocking news.. i predicted it after all.. hehehe.. read here (kalau tak percaya lar...). One thing that made me grumbled was AWAL, the host.. Did u notice he said "Anith anda mendapat undian terendah minggu ini" then suddenly the background music changed and Marion said "Simon if u were voted out this week, you will be the 1st boy to be out....".. what the hell is that?? Awal2 lagi si Awal dah revealed the result... in case u didn't notice, nama pun Awal..hahaha.. i guess he baca script salah semalam.. so Awal, extra careful next time, you did spoiled the revelation of result semalam.. hahaha..

Opss.. i forgot about Anith.. Anith is a good singer yet not enough for the competition.. her final performance pun just Okay with capital O.. good luck girl..

For my loyal readers information, i never watched OIAM diaries thus whatever written here is solely based on the contestant performance regardless of their whatever-shown-in-the-diary..

They start the show with group performance and i didn't like it.. i want to see solo performance and not that stupid group.. This is OIAM looking for soloist talent.. Therefore, i don't give a damn on the group performance. AND I STILL DON'T LIKE THE HOST.. Marion getting better but Awal?????? I don't like his sissy postures and lenggang lenggok and siap lap2 peluh di dahi lagi.. omg... senyuman pun x ikhlas..

INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE
(THEME: OPPOSITE ATTRACT.. meaning the boys have to sing a song composed for woman singer and the girls vice verca).


Tomok
(Gantung - Melly Goeslow)
Opening like lil bit off-pitch.. low register like not hit well.. it was an just okay performance and missing his star quality.. nothing special from his performance last nite. I have to agree with Paul that his performance was boring and forgettable.

Amylea
(I'M yours - Jason Mraz)
I reckon that the opening was kinda ikut2 Simon's style last week, which Simon getting the applause from the judges.. but on Amylea, nah...... it was boring.. on her performance, it was a very entertaning and i like the arrangement.. it was a very good performance with great vocal but the only problem was her sebutan which i cant really get what she was saying.. like she mumbled all her words..

Aweera
(Tiada lagi-Mayang Sari)
I expected mesti copycat Amy Search nie, when the host announced the title of Aweera's song this week. uhmmmm... betul2 juga lar.. I don't like the whole performance, no originality, very the AmySearch-ish.. Pitching problem pun masi ada lagi.. but luv the high note which he hit well.. Amy sang it better than Aweera (of course maaaa..).. Sorry Aweera.. you will be in the bottom group (bingung sua bottom apa.. 2, 3, 5..) next week.. Tambah2 lagi u were showing ur Perlis'flag.. what the heck with that cheap publisity.. that will contribute to your 'OUT WEERA'.. Malaysia are watching the show man, bukan orang Perlis saja.. everyone luvs their country...

Rizu
(Mercy-Duffy)
I tot it was like no-aura-Fantasia Barrino performance, but for a guys doing that??? .. ehmmm faham2 lar.. Problems on low note but have a good high register.. very annoying performance.. mcm biasa maybe because of his facial expression.. Vocally, he was great but I have to agree with Paul and Syafinaz, he is indeed WEIRD... lol, mo mati sudah sa ketawa when Jay2 ask Rizu on the 'akil baligh' thing.. omg it was indeed made Rizu more weirdo....hahaha.. Sori Rizu, u are one of a hell great singer but you need to do something about your wierdo expression...

Simon
(When you're gone-Avril Lavigne)
A lil bit shaky on the opening line.. wierd arrangment on the bridge of the song.. vocally, it was nice but like something missing in his performance.. kurang menyengat this week.. lacking star quality as the judges said.. and of course please do something on your dress code.. macam pergi jalan2 di pasar malam.. huhuhu... Anyhow, I still like your husky voice..

Fify
(Pria Terhebat-Sheila on 7)
First note 'HEBAT' pun dah OUT.. Just an okay and boring performance.. forgettable.. no originality, and 'macam berlakon' saja performance si Fify nie.. no sincerity.. ending pun pitchy.. i guess she has the chances of voted out next week.

Nine
(Karma-Cokelat)
He is definitely getting better and better every week.. A very entertaining performance but vocally belum great lagi because i can hear pitching problem here and there.. Cuma belum ada wow factor...

Esther
(Won't go home without you-Maroon 5)
SUPERB.. FANTASTIC..BRILLIANT... that was a very high star-quality performance.. very cheeky and i love how she moved and used every inch of the stage.. She definitely has the 'wow' factor that this show looking for.
However, with that kind of benchmarked, will she be able to maintained and sustained her performance for the remaining weeks?Let just hope she will be able to do it..

IMMUNITY ROUND:
As expected, Esther once again claimed the award. She definitely deserved it.

As for my bottom 4, here are they:
Simon, Fify, Aweera, and Rizu(because of his bow-tie..hheheh)

Fify definitely will be the one voted out next week..

AND please cast your vote on your favorite and deserved-your-vote contestant. I would like to suggest that you vote YES to SIMON, and OUT to RIZU...

To Esther's voters.. cuti this week.. save credits.... till then...

One In A Million Season 3 - OIAM Top 9 show

What the heck.. all the girls are in the bottom 5 this week?? Come on Malaysia, you must be kidding! I bet it was not based on votes percentage rather they just wanted to show that all boys are through to the next round of the competition.

Hello loyal reader,

Let me just begin this review by criticizing the host. Personally, I hate on how they handled the show. Firstly, they don't look natural on stage but seems to me that they have been rehearsing it for like zillion time. It was boring because they looked like robot. Don't get me wrong, i did not mean that rehearsal is bad, but this is live show (for christ's sake...!!).. be natural and try to make the show happening. (This is why Aznil is still the #1 host in the country). Secondly, they tried to drag the time in revealing the elimination result, and guess what, it ain't 'mendebarkan'.. extremely excruciating... sorry.. (oppsss Paul said a real man never apologize.. so forget about my 'sorry'..hehehe).

Pija voted out.. shocked?? nope.. in contrary.. i don't like her.. she is so hypocrite (as per my review last week).. Even though i predicted that Fify will be the one to be voted out, i also predicted that pija will be in the bottom 5. On her final performance... ermmm.. that performance was a prove that she is not that superstar.. sharp a little bit and pitchy here and there.. Anyhow, all the best Pija.. You has a great husky vocal but haven't used it properly..

I would like to remind my loyal reader that whatever being written here are solely my own opinion and do not have the attention to discredit anybody (especially the contestants), and nothing personal.. They were based on my own not-so-professional opinion, but as someone who has been the loyal fan of the show (OIAM).. and as a home viewer.. **sigh.. i wish i were there every week as live audience..

Theme for tonite show is 'the songwriters' week', so i expected something great will happen.

Aweera
(Janjiku-Taja-Sofaz)
As immunity winner last week, he had to start the show. And he did awful.. He started with a lil bit out of tempo that jeopardized his whole performance. He forgot his lyrics and that was really bad too.. he sounded funny tonite cuz i thought i heard 'sengau' and kinda 'meneran suara' like someone in labor.. didn't have the 'jiwa' needed for the song.. boooooooooo.... =suara hidung...

Amylea
(Yang pernah-Estranged)
1st line saja dah lari pitching ke laut cina selatan.. Hate the guitar cuz it doesn't even help her performance. What the heck with the tatoo on her face.. looked ugly.. it was not so her.. The falsetto was so excrutiate to hear.. I don't understand why did the judges liked her performance.. For me it was rather boring and forgettable..

Fify
(Kalis Rindu-Aidit Alfian-Elyana)
Surprisingly, I love her performance tonite although kinda agree with the guest judge, Mr. Fauzi Marzuki that there were no originality shown on her performance. Blame it on Aidit whose ego is so like gunung Kinabalu.. What can we do, he owned the song.. Nonetheless, I like her showmanship tonite and i like the cheeky performance from her.. the song suited her so well. Overall, good performance.

Awal... Awal.. what a stupid joke about the 'kalis peluru' thing.. Hey, come on.. it was not funny AT ALL.. it sucks.. he laughed on his own not-funny-at-all-joke ALONE.. wakakaka... Once again, the host were so like robots.. Mr/Mrs Producer, please change the host..

Back to the performances..

Rizu
(Cinta-Andy Flop Poopy)
He look like a 'soft-guy' in the VT shown.. On his performance tonite, as usual he is still annoying and irritating guy.. his expression (of face) was so weird.. No problem on the vocal tho'.. except for the low note where he like so tenggelam.. I didn't like the arrangement of the song, just like what Paul said, the song was transformed into something that was not so close to the original song in term of melody lar.. and i thought i heard like Zainal Abidin Hijau yang nyanyi.. sounded like zainal-ish.. Anyhow, okay lar tue..

Tomok
(La la la Kerjalah-Meet Uncle Hussein)
First and foremost, i hate the song choice..Of all the songs composed by MUH, why picked that lousy song.. Kesian Tomok.. BUT.. one thing about Tomok is that whatever song he sang, he really feels the song and made the song as his own song. For me, he is one of the contestant who shows consistency in their performances. Again tonite he spectacularly nailed his performance (although the song is not so syok). Overall, it was the best performance so far (tolak the lagu only lar..)

Anith
(Mungkin-Pacai-Anuar Zain)
WRONG CHOICE OF SONG.. Again.. WRONG CHOICE OF SONG.. Pitchy all the way through.. Weird and extremely painful melody at the beginning of the song.. shaky vocal.. and true enough that the song was by zillion miles was too BIG for her.. no one and i mean it.. no one can sing Anuar's song as good as Anuar.. Anith looked so tertekan and pity on her.. It was the worst performance of the nite and I guess it will be the end of her journey in OIAM.

Nine
(Aku & Kamu-Andy Flop Poppy)
I couldn't believe it that I'm going to say this: He performs well tonite. But I also agree with Fauzi that there were no originality in his performance. Vocally, he was okay except on the horrible falsetto. And his sebutan also like so minta puji when he pronounced cantik as 'santik'... wkakaka..And..labelling him 'sexy' (Marion yg cakap).. omg.. PEEEELLLLLIIIIZZZZZZ!!!!.... Overall, great performance (once again, i couldn't believe i said that..huhuhu)

Save the best for last.. that's what i thought when they let Esther and Simon to perform as the final two. Check check check it out...

Esther
(Dialah diHati-Aidit Alfian-Dato Siti Nurhaliza)
She never dissapointed us.. Once again she nailed it.. cuma ada slack in the beginning of the song where i hardly hear what she was saying and like out of tempo sikit.. But I definitely agree with Syafinaz that ada kureng sikit her performance tonite. It was beacuse that the the performance was like so not Esther that we know..Once again, blame it on the ego Aidit Alfian... He intentionally limits the aura of Esther by not giving her the freedom to sang the song in her own way.. Anyhow, i still reckon Esther's performance as great..

Simon
(Generasiku-Audi Mok-OAG)
Another great performance of one of my favorite contestant.. The opening was so creative and so brilliant.. His husky vocal and tone is so lovely and i thought it was so commercial.. Although the song didn't really challenge his vocal range, he manage to shows his superstar quality.. way to go Simon..

After seeing every contestant performed, my top 4 contestants that should be considered as immunity winner were Tomok, Simon, Esther and Nine (omg.. why Nine is here..lol). And when the judges announced Tomok as the winner, i felt so sorry for Esther for losing not because of her onwself but mostly because of Aidit, the ego composer. Anyway, I agree with the judges tho'.. Overall, i reckon that tonite show is the best show so far..

I almost forgot, my bottom 5 this week are: Aweera, Anith, Amylea, Fify, and Rizu..

And the person that will be voted out next week will be Anith...

AND......

One In A Million Season 3 - OIAM Top 10 show

Last nite performance could be the best show so far. And I am glad that my prediction (Top 11 review here) on who will be voted out was absolutely bull eyed. Nonetheless, only 2 out of three prediction on bottom 3 was correct albeit last nite instead of bottom 3, they have bottom 5. And all in the bottom 5 were as predicted. I have to give Han a round of applause tho' for her final performance. She really nailed that song although she didn't manage to hit the high note well. But I still think that she did outstanding.
As i said earlier, last nite show was the best show so far for this season, where each contestant begin to shows some enthusiastic performance.

Amylea
As usual, the person who got the immunity last week will be the 1st to performed. I guess its an disadvantages on getting immunity, because to perform first require additional confidence level and one need to really nailed the song. Unfortunately, Amylea didn't. I heard she mumbled all the way through and I can't hardly hear what she was saying. Just okay performance with nothing special to it.

Nine
He's been awful for couple of weeks. Nothing to be proud of on his performance this week either.
I didn't agree with the judges. I think, most of the time he sang pitchy and didn't show any star value. NOT OKAY. BIASA jak..

Fify
This was the worst performance of the nite. Starting note, OUT. No confident at all. Lost focus in the middle of the song. Pitchy all the way through and to worsen the performance was when she sang it out of tempo. No dynamic a.k.a flat performance. Annoying body movement and awful dress (mcm org kampung.. and omg look at her hair... bushy..lol). OUT next week.

Simon
Still loves his husky voice. Really make you relax. Performance without playing the guitar, ok apa.. But overall performance was not so good. His showmanship was bad and obvious enough that he didn't enjoy his performance. Movement was so stiff and mcm terpaksa jak ke hulu ke hilir. No wonder he always have his guitar with him when performing on stage, to hide his awkward body movement rupanya. But still his vocal is his main strength.

Anith
Just an okay performance. No Star quality and she didn't really hit the high note. It was boring and forgettable.

Rizu
I got to admit that he performed well and showed some star qualities. Nevertheless, I hate to look at his facial expression. Very annoying indeed. His vocal is so different to the extend that I thought mcm sengau all the time. Hated his performance.

Pija
Another out of tempo performance. Pitchy (sumbang maut) during the verse part. Although she maintain her great energy level, she had problem with diction this time. I don't understand what she was saying. And i definitely agree with Simon that Pija look very hypocrite. Be yourself Pija.

Aweera
I don't understand why did the judges picked him as the immunity recipient. He sang awfully albeit that he showed some boldness in taking the Gemilang song. Can't they hear the 'terpeleot' voice in the middle of the song? Even starting note pun sudah ke laut. He was pitchy here and there. And he was screaming for Christ sake... I know I said he could be the dark horse of the competition, but last nite show didn't approve that. Judges, i beg to differ.. Mentang2 Jac was there.. Think abt it, If last nite were the finale, do you think he deserve the crown...? Peliiiizzzz..

Esther
What can I say??? Everything was so perfect. Perfect pitch, perfect voice and very soulful. No one can deny that she has the aura that no other contestant have. I just love it but got to admit with Safinaz tho' that Esther need to control her performance because sometime she seems of overdoing it.. anyway, great performance.

Tomok
He really a different person in this competition. I like his performance. The most outstanding performance of the nite in term of stage presentation. He has great star quality on stage and his gambled by taking beyonce's song really paid off. Energetic performance by Tomok. The only thing that spoiled his performance was his diction. He sounds awful singing an English song. hahaha...

AS for the immunity, I explained earlier why Aweera didn't deserve it this week. I think it should be either Esther, Tomok or Rizu (ermm.. I hate Rizu but he performed well this week.. sigh). Having predicted correctly last week, I bet that the bottom 5 this week are as follows:

Fify, Anith, Nine, Simon, and Pija.. (***luckily Aweera got that not-so-deserved immunity.. kalau tidak, he will be in the bottom 5 as well..)

And the person that will be voted out next week will be FIFY.... bye Fify...

One In A Million Season 3 - Top 11

Top 11 concert @ 27th Feb 2009

Hi loyal reader..

I'm back with my review on OIAM top 11 concert. Last night concert was so disappointing and none of the contestant's voice worth 1 million ringgit. Personally, I think none of them should be awarded the immunity, not even Amylea. If, and only if, the judges have to give away the award, then the real contestant should be Simon. I know, in term of pitch and vocal, Amylea seems more flawless, yet she didn't show any star value in her performance.

Elimination round. By looking at the bottom 3, one may guess the message rendered by Malaysian. We, as the audiences of OIAM, will not vote for existing celebrity to win the competition. Lucky for Amylea to won the immunity. However, I am not surprise to saw Ayu to be voted out. I don't think she will have great impact on the show tho'. Anyhow, how I wish its Amylea or Pija to be voted out.

Lets talk about each contestant's performance last nite. Song choice is the main factor that contributed to the boringness and excruciatingly concert.

Esther
I agree with Paul when he said that he didn't feel connected to the performance. Me either. A very disappointing performance with pitchy opening. Not as powerful as last week. And its because of her wrong song choice. Anyhow, she did OKAY.

Han
Singing Getaran Jiwa with awful music arrangement. One word to describe her performance. OUT. Everything is not right. High note, OUT, low note, OUT, Opening, OUT, pitching ke laut cina selatan terus ke laut sulu, bergelora dan berbahaya kepada pulau Labuan. Song choice, OUT. Worst performance of the nite.

Simon
I like his song choice (Knocking on heaven's door). I really like his husky voice tonite. But i really hate the guitar in the performance. Its 2 consecutive weeks he brought the guitar with him. Nice vocal but bad showmanship. OKAY. Please get rid of the guitar and someone please hide his guitar, or better, throw it.

Nine
I begin to hate this guy. I hate his 'tahan-tahan tekak' voice. Starting jak dah out. Again, bad song choice. I really really really hate the live audience giving him a big applaud, which he didn't deserved to get, not even 10% of it. WORSE.

Amylea
Boring song. Boring performance with no star value. Of course, no problem on pitching because her own song. Didn't deserved the immunity, in fact no one deserved it either. Just OKAY.

Rizu
Weirdo. Hate his facial expression, very annoying. Weird vocal either (macam 80% suara hidung). Good vocal range tho'. Just OKAY.

Anith
I hate the music arrangement, weird. Again, another bad song choice. Boring performance. Didn't feel that she had connection with the song. Okay.

Tomok
Starting note, OUT. It was an okay performance with no star value in it, nothing special with the performance. Again, didn't like the music arrangement. i wonder why the music arrangement tonite seems so weird. just OKAY. I hated the showmanship and movement of Tomok. I hated how he plays with his hand and the 'kangkang-kangkang' legs. lol.

Aweera
LOL.. terbabas... For Sabahan, they call it 'terkiok' or 'terpeleot'. Another worst performance. I really really can't wait for him to stop singing. Really excruciating performance. What with the tears??? Cheap publicity i guess. I don't think it work man. Sorry.. but he deserved another round because he still have that special voice, but tonite, it just don't work.

Pija
I wonder why the judges said that her performance was okay. I beg to differ. It was completely pitchy all the way. Low note, out... I can't hardly hear what she was saying. High note, 'tidak sampai pun'.. Not Okay. But, one thing good about Pija was her energy level, which is so high. I like it.

Fify
OKAY performance. Better than last week. Just okay with nothing special that will make the audiences to remembered her performance. Forgettable I would say.

Overall, I would say that this was the most disappointing concert so far. None of them made us awed. Everyone picking the wrong songs that not suited to them and their voice. I couldn't give my ranking. Anyhow, my prediction for bottom 3 are;

Han, Nine, Pija

And the person that will leave next week is Han.

By the way, don't forget to vote 'YES' or "YA' for Esther albeit her not-so-good performance this week.

One In A Million Season 3 - Top 12 concerts

It has begun and I feel awesome because i think by mile this is the best season ever. All of the contestants are very talented and have different styles and genre. Having watched the show tonite, I was so thankful that this time around, they seriously are looking for real talent. Having said that, I also have my own favorite and she is Esther, who happened to received the very 1st immunity. Yup, this season they change the format a bit by having immunity. This immunity will be given to the most outstanding contestant of the night, which automatically guarantee his/her place to the next round without going thru the elimination round. I kinda agree with this new format.

Let's talk about the performance tonite.

Anith

omg, pitchy all the way.. but very energetic. She didn't really feel the song.

Amylea
Starting with a little bit shaky. Pitchy at couple of note. Wrong choice of song. And the biggest problem I had with Amylea (since AF) is her diction (for malay song only). But overall, I like her performance. Okay.

Simon
The guitar was his only distraction. He shouldn't play the guitar because he seemed like losing his focus on singing. Anyhow, he did a very good performance and great vocal too. Okay.

Ayu
Very high confident level and has a very good voice. I like her performance.

Fifi
Starting note..OUT.. Lower note.. OUT.. Pitchy from the 1st note. The song (If I were a boy by Beyonce) was a little too big for her and she shouldn't pick that song. Average performance.

Aweera
Nice vocal indeed! Very different from the other contestant. But hardly hear what he was saying. Energetic performance and could be the dark horse of the competition.

Pija
Nice performance. I don't like the movement on stage tho'. Lucky because of the aura of the song which effect her performance. Okay performance.

Nine
The worst performance of the night! I don't like it from the moment he opened his mouth. Pitchy on the 1st note and only one word I will describe the whole performance: FORGETTABLE!

Han
Great ballad singer. Great feeling. I was able to feel her but picthy here and there. Okay performance.

Tomok
Wow! I didn't expected that from Tomok. He really a different singer in this competition. Syafinaz was right about the 'sengau' thing. I was amazed and shocked in the same time. I like how he begin the song but as it progresses, i hardly hear what he was saying. Anyhow, one of the great performance so far.

Esther
She deserved to get the immunity. She really was fantastic and she realy connected to the song. Early favorite to take home the title and grab the 1 million ringgit. MAGIC performance. Paul was right, she really make her audiences (be it at home or as live audiences) feels the song. I was so amazed! FANTASTIC!

Rizu
To close the show like that..ermmm..pathetic.. i don't like his vocal at all. No originality on showmanship (tiru M.Nasir). I wonder how he won in AIM. Sorry Rizu.

My reader, just to remind you that the above critiques are solely based on my very own opinion. I don't give a damn if few of you may or may not agree with it. Hahahahha... Based on the 1st concert, here are my ranking:

1. Esther
2. Tomok
3. Simon
4. Aweera
5. Han
6. Ayu
7. Pija
8. Amylea
9. Fify
10.Anith
11. Rizu
12.Nine

Errmm.. so the person who will be leaving 1st is NINE.. but since he is a recording artist and has his own follower, and based on history on any reality show in Malaysia (which in opinion, biase and look more on good looking GUY), i guess its going to be Anith who gonna leave first. Let just wait for the result nect week (27th Feb). Till then.. bye..
