Gangstarz 2 Update (6th Concert)

Sorry for the late update guys. It was a drag watching the show, why I even bother to watch it defies logic. Well, I guess that's just me, once I start watching something, I remain glued to it no matter how dull the show is. Honestly, I look forward to only 2 groups performing, no prize for guessing as I've mentioned them many times in my earlier posts. One Nation Emcees and Paragon Child are the only 2 groups worth watching.

Surprisingly, I find myself attracted to Step, the sole representative from Thailand. They were labeled as being a circus act by the judges, since they are the only team to have gimmicks in every performances. Pretty cheesy but these young Thais have endeared me with their energetic and sincere performances. They should really brush up their vocals to stay longer in the competition.

This week (last Sunday), both Paragon Child and One Nation Emcees did well. They were entertaining and performed to expectations. Paragon Child sang an English number, 'Let's Get It Started' by the Black Eyed Peas (they sang Anuar Zain's 'Lelaki Ini' commendably last week). Paragon Child definitely has the upper hand coz they have the complete package:~ looks, vocals as well as talent. One Nation Emcees sang 'Che Mek Molek', originally sung by M. Daud Kilau. I didn't quite like the song but their presentation as always was energetic and entertaining. Even the crowd (including me at home) look forward to what this group dishes out every week. That chubby guy sure dances well for his size :)

The other 3 Indonesian groups were OK, they were not bad but like Zainal Abidin said (guest judge), it was something we have seen before. I dislike the group Akasia (even the name is horrendous)... I was cringing listening to their version of PussyCat Dolls' 'Buttons'. Uweekkk... all I see is a group of wannabe singers that don't even deserve to perform at weddings.

South Trio, the other group from Malaysia was eliminated (finally). They just didn't have what it takes to be a group. It was surprising to see 3.5 (another group from the Philippines) being in the bottom 2. They have to pull something fantastic next week or else they'll be heading home.

  1. Gee, this season's gangstarz is just not up to the mark la. The talents are so lousy I think I would win if I took part with my buddies Adrian and Sean ... LOL!

    The Thai group is the surprise package so far, but I must say I'm getting a little tired with their gimmicks oredi ...

  7. Nick ~ They looked promising during the auditions though. But the concerts were a total bore, except for 2 or 3 groups.

    Yeah, next season you guys should audition! LOL! I think Step has quite a following among the teens here, they'll stay in the competition for a while.

  14. Marzie ~ Hey, no apologies required! I understand :) I've been busy too, haven't been able to visit all those listed in my blogroll.

    I missed last week's concert (Gangstarz) coz the kids wanted to watch something else. Sigh...

    Your FB rosak? That's odd but it happened to me last month but only for a couple of days. But I know how you feel :) Hope your FB gets 'well' soon! LOL

  16. Hi Anonymous! Thanks for commenting :)

    From what I saw, it seems that the group from Singapore didn't have strong a following here hence no votes. Too bad ya.

    I hope TV3 will have another season of Gangstarz. I love to see talents from all around South East Asia :)
