Yay, National Day. 41 years old we are. Love the fireworks baby.
Today was the first time I sat through the Singapore Idol show on Channel 5. My god. It is a glorified karaoke contest. These wannabes can't really sing. It's not good. In fact, it is quite bad. I think Hady will win. He's the only natural with a nice voice and perfect teeth. Maybe Jasmine and Joakim can do TV - they got the cute thing going on. The rest quite cannot make it.
Singapore Idol is way too commercialised. It's all hype and commercials and advertising and shopping center appearances. Those who can sing aren't too keen to be Mediacorp stooges but the downside is that they aren't getting the publicity they deserve. What happened to all those great singers that belted out the good stuff at the Fat Frog Cafe? How come they didn't join Singapore Idol? They are probably tied down with earning a living. It's a small island with busy people. We're way too busy to have true artisitic talent. And we are stingy too. $2 for a busker? Haha, dream on. Sorry man, we bite the bullet and get a job.

Can we be too busy to be artistic or talented? Do we really need someone's $2 to express our creativity? Being busy is quite likely the excuse for people not doing anything about their talents - be it for career or for sheer artistic indulgence. Don't you think?
Why you didn't join Idol? Busy is it? I also. That's why the show lousy.
ha... he's more a jester than a singer... :P
