One In A Million (OIAM) Season 3 ~ Top 6

We're at the halfway mark of the competition. From 12 contestants, it's now down to just 6. And for the first time, I was sad to see one of the eliminated contestant leave sad. Rizu sang She Will Be Loved (Maroon 5) for the last time and it was definitely his best performance. Even his fellow finalists were stunned, I guess no one expected him to be eliminated... just yet. Good luck Rizu!

Bottom 3 : Rizu, Simon & Aweera

No guest judge tonight.

The judges announced that they will no longer give the Immunity Award to the Best Performer. It's finally back to the fans' votes and a level playing field to all the contestants.

Tomok ~ Umbrella (Rihanna) Watch the video here.
* Tomok is pitchy tonight, maybe he was somewhat affected by Rizu's sudden departure. Being the 1st to perform right after an emotional moment is not good.
* Needs to practice more on his diction but overall it was decent
* Fast tempo, kinda like how he made the changes to 'Ella, ella... eh, eh, eh'
* That mike flip was awesome! How the heck did he do that??! Check out the video at 1:25s
* Not his best performance but I still loved it love

Amylea ~ Somewhere Only We Know (Keane)
* Very confident and entertaining
* Loved the changes she made to the song
* Amylea deserves to be in the finale

Esther ~ Sweet About Me (Gabriella Cilmi) ?? Unsure of spelling
* I'm not familiar with the song
* Entertaining (cabaret/theatrical like performance)
* Are there many Soul music fans in Malaysia?

Nine ~ Cinta Gila (Grey Sky Morning)
* I'm not familiar with the song but I liked it
* Entertaining (except the guitar part)
* Confident
* Nine is growing on me
* Nine's progress is very slow compared to Tomok, Amylea and Esther.

Aweera ~ Awie
* Sounds very similar to the original singer
* Stuck in the 80's
* Needs to sing current songs and make it his own

Simon ~ Living On A Prayer (Jon Bon Jovi)
* Mellow
* Lacks power and edginess needed for the song
* No originality (sounds the same as the original song)
* Simon doesn't seem to have emotions when he sings

If the Immunity Award was still given out, I would have given it to Amylea. She really stood out last night. I hope her fans vote for her all the way to the finale.

  3. sad to c Rizu out cos am expecting Simon to be out. But based on this week performance, I think Simon or Aweera should be out next week - no sign of imnprovement compared to the rest. Tomok and Amylea performance is very outstanding.

  4. I was right when Rizu was voted out that night. It's hard to tell now who's going to be eliminated, but based on past perfomances either Simon or Aweera la kali... but who knows apa dorang buat next week kan, manatau tiba2 'malatop' hahaha!!! Amylea is fine, very consistent macam dalam AF juga dulu, tapi ONE in a million, hmmm... either Esther or Tomok (???)

  6. MD ~ He must have practiced that flip a gadzillion times. Imagine if he had dropped the mike... He sure had the utmost confidence to execute it and I'm amazed.

    He's definitely in the finals oredi! :D

  7. Anon ~ Rizu was leading with the votes earlier... the fans probably thought he was safe. My favorite performance from Rizu has to be 'Sandaran Hati'.

    Yeah, I hope the next one out would be Aweera or Simon.

  21. Mama Mia ~ Sama la kita, sia pun ingat si Simon akan keluar... itulah orang slalu undi yang paling last, sbb mo kasi save.

    Jangan seja Tomok, Amylea atau Esther yang terkeluar!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Marzie ~ I oso tak puas hati Rizu out but what to do, I tak vote pun.. hehehe

    Yeah, his best performance but I liked the Malay song he sang a few weeks back. It's called 'Sandaran Hati'.

    ReplyDelete
  23. That mike flip still has me captivated with awe la! LOL!

    I agree with everyone, Rizu should have stayed and Simon should have gone, maybe even Aweera ... we'll see what happens this week :D

    Steady TOMOK! LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Spiff ~ You're an avid fan of Tomok, aren't you Spaceman?? :D Well, he deserves the recognition and adoration; he has been consistent and entertaining. Yeah, I'm awed with the mike flip too...

    ReplyDelete
  25. Marzie ~ I think something fishy is goin' on with Paul and Simon... LOL!

    Amylea and Tomok are my faves currently. Last week Simon has mood swings la.

    As for AF7, I'm just a spectator. No more a fan la :*( Sad cos it used to be my #1 reality show.

    I wasn't even sad with the elimination of Zizie and Rubisa. Tak rasa apa2 langsung...

    Saper menang pon I tak kisah oredi... walaupon Sidi or Qhaud or even Akim!

  27. Anonymous ~ Hi! :D Give yourself a name ya, macam tak best call you anon la... hehe.

    Just click the name (under choose identity), you can opt not to key in your blog URL.

    Yup, finally Simon got the boot! Didn't expect Esther to be in the bottom 3 tonight.

    Tomok as Paul said was one level/step ahead of the others :D
