I was quite relieved to haf completed the OMD project on time, and pass it up while most of the class (or whoever was present than) watched "Shrek" in the computer lab. Lessons ended early at 1615 hrs with the end of Shrek, and I took a train from Bedok to City Hall and eventually to Toa Payoh. I then had early dinner at McDonald's and took a bus from the bus interchange to Mediacorp... lol I saw Kai Leng, Crystal, Steph and even Joan there!! But alas!! The rain was very heavy... and so I had to wait at the bus stop trying to think of a way to escort the gals to Mediacorp... Jerrald, Jumali and Hoonie arrived and so we walked to the Mediacorp Center admist huge puddles and loud thunder... and there were lotsa taxis being packed along Lornie Road. RIGHTTTT... luckily the rain didnt dampen our spirits tho my shoes and pants got drenched. And Kendrick showed us a certain essay he wrote... man I tell you, it's a bit 'sick'!
And surprise surprise... guess who arrived soon after!!! NURUL AND GAYLE!!! OH MY GAWD!!! I'M SO HAPPY!!!! I hugged Gayle after passing to her the drawing I made specially for her!! Initially I thot abt sheddding tears, but I was really too shocked and excited when I saw Gayle... moreover, I suck at dramatics and I had shed enough tears on the day she got eliminated. Farhan and his friend Faizal managed to arrive at 1915 hrs... as for the last guy who arrived LATE, it was NO THANKS to him (last week it was other people) that we ended up at the balcony YET AGAIN!!! But then Wan Hua, Siew Woon, Annabelle, Levin and Roslan also ended up at the balcony... next time I aint gonna help him book tickets. It feels soooo dead to sit with him, esp since he's not as rabid as myself or any of the other fans. And I cant forget how I nearly lost my 8 days issue at the drawing studio bcos of him.
Anyway, here are my thoughts on the remaining 5 Idol contestants and how they had fared in the R & B genre:Jonathan Leong- he did well in both songs, he didnt seem to falter at all. Hie first song was simply UNFORGETTABLE!! And he definitely improved in his pitching while singing Stevie Wonder's "For Once In My Life". HE MUST WIN!!! 9/10
Hady Mirza- He continued to wow everyone with his heart-melting deliveries and excellent vocal prowess that once again reminds us of Taufik. Looks too much like an uncle in "Senorita" tho. 8.5/10
Jasmine Tye- As the last girl standing, she's been showing improvement as usual... very good attempt at "Think (Freedom)", she was kinda emulating Mathilda!! And her rendition of "Come On Over" wasn't overly cute either... reminds most of Gayle. 7.5/10
Joakim Gomez- Quite surprisingly, he had showed some improvement with both songs (tho his pitching was still rather flat). And he did moderately well in his second song, tho his first song nearly put me to sleep. Not horrendous, but not fantastic either. 5.5/10
Paul Twohill- For the first time we saw a more serious side of him for both songs, esp in "Walking Away". Tho he had connected moderately well with the fans, he was mumbling his way thru in the first song. Something was missing in his overall performances... was it due to the fact that he had just recovered from a throat infection? 3/10
My prediction: Either Paul or Joakim will be going home... Joakim because of the negativity he had been receiving for a long time due to his flat singing. Paul because he wasn't in his best form. But then the results as of late had been unpredictable. So expect the unexpected (this is why I HATE Thursdays)
