Reality Nites

I just finished watching American Idol 8 Results Show and OIAM3 2nd concert. Phew! Am I glad Nick Mitchell aka Norman Gentle did NOT get through! Thanks to Simon's prayer :)

I don't get the fuss or excitement over Nick/Norman is. They said he was entertaining... I was cringing with fear watching his performance. Totally in the wrong show but it wasn't his fault cos the judges selected him... the judges must have lost a few screws in their head. Selecting Nick over Jamar.... I can never understand that.

I'm pretty happy with the results tonight with Adam and Allison being in Top 12... a bit surprised with Kris Allen though. I thought Matt Giraud would take his spot but I'm sure the judges would pick him for the wild card slot. *fingers' crossed* I'm looking forward to watching next week's 3rd group of 12 perform. I have my eyes on Jorge Nunez, Scott McIntyre, Felicia Barton and Kristen McNamara. I hope they sleep, eat and drink with this mantra in mind : 'Pick-the-right-song!!'.

Now to OIAM3. Amylea rightly deserved the immunity award, though I still question its relevance to the show. I love the song, and Amylea sang with style and ease. Macam sia dibuai-buai seja when I was listening to her. Tomok didn't do too bad either, I think he was decent. I'm pretty sure he will be saved from elimination. And Fify did well too (my son calls her Ikan Emas... must be those big huge eyes! LOL!). Those were the only 3 that captured my attention.

The worst was Rehana. She shouldn't have sang Getaran Jiwa... boring gila. Nobody can sing the song except the late Tan Sri P. Ramlee. If she did what Jaclyn Victor did with Tunggu Sekejap then it would be a different story altogether. I wonder why the finalists chose sad songs just because the theme for the night was Memori Tercipta... I like how Syafinaz mentioned make your own memory when most of the finalists chose sad and soppy songs.

Oh, Aweera... menyanyi ke menyalak tu? Rightly said by Syafinaz :D Esther please la sing a catchy song next week and I think she needs a different hairstyle. The current cut just doesn't suit her face.
