"WAH LAU EH". That's how I describe last Wed's "Live The Dream" recording for Cross Culture. Just when we were expecting the weakest singer to be booted out, Utt had to reveal the awful truth by announcing that NOBODY is going home tonight (yes, the horror of it all!!!). All too soon, we realised that the producers for LTD had pulled out a fast one on us by borrowing the idea of a non-elimination night from American Idol season 6 (Idol Give All), just because the whole show is dedicated to President's Star Charity... WTH!!!!
Well on a brighter note, the votes for the week will snowball into the votes for next week's round of "Dance Party Themes". Little surprise then that many people are complaining about this in the forums right now...
On an even brighter note, Andrea Fonseka, who looked damn cute wearing the spectacles of Revaline member Naza (aka the 'Small' of the trio), noticed me from the crowd prior to the results show and shook my hand... (blushes)
Former contestants such as Alan S, Robert Sunga and the Sugarettes were spotted among the fans... Daren and Diya wowed everyone with two songs, "In Love With You" (the 1994 classic sung by Jacky Cheung and Regine) and "Liang San Po he Zhu Li Ye". Boy was I surprised to see New Yi Qing inside the theater!! :-D
And err.... that 'Singapore Cowboy' really got some mental problem, being way too 'over' as he held up his SUPER-SIZED poster and rooted for Shauna like a football coach would yell at his team to work harder... I hope he doesn't show up for the next recording, cos if he does, then I will give him capital punishment right away...!
The lowdown on the Top 6 for the LTD competition...
Fendi
His first song, Liu Sha by David Tao, wasn't very good cos he sounded like he was mumbling, and it was the first time he had gone really flat. He was however, more comfortable wif the second song which he sang in English.
Victor
His English song, "Don't Cry", was to his regular standards as it had been for the past few weeks... his second song, a Korean one from the soundtrack of "My Sassy Girl", was more impressive, but too mellow to be true...
Shauna
She was the one who shone among the 3 soloists. While her family dressed up in kimonos for the 1st performance, the beautiful Shauna sang an almost pitch perfect Japanese song... then she melted everyone's hearts (mine included, heh) with Coco Lee's "Before I Fall In Love".
Revalina
The trio of 'small, medium and large' truly shone in both songs... they are being nicknamed "The Trio of Harry Potters" by Ken Lim, for they maintained their geeky image throughout the whole competition, and were being true to themselves. My pick to win the group category.
By Definition
The quintet band's entertainment value and showmanship was unmatched. While their rendition of JJ Lin's "Cao Cao" was thrilling to watch, their second song, "You'll Be Safe Here", was a bit of a letdown. Still, I'm rooting for them to advance to the finals.
Catsinecradle
'The Cats' sounded rather offbeat in the first song, and while they did better with Alex To's "Wu Xin Shang Hai" (baby I'm so sorry), Ken Lim thought that they sounded like they were singing at a restaurant. I don't want to see them at the finals due to their seemingly snobbish attitude and their super-rowdy fans.
After the show, the three of us (Kai Leng, Edmund and myself) headed to the reception to wait for anyone who came out... at around 2300 hrs, New Yi Qing came out. Turns out he's working there part-time to get more money, while also tackling with studies. It was great to see him again :-)
After that, Revalina came out... I got to take picture with Naza "Harry Potter", Ross "Spider-Man" and Az "Optimus Prime".
By chance, Kai Leng and i spotted Ann Kok coming out of the reception... she just finished another busy day filming for "Kinship part 2". Altho 'Yinsha' still looked attractive as always, I honestly prefer her long hair... the 'helmet' hairdo doesn't really suit her. Well at least Im happy to haf taken pic wif her... something to would make my old friend Jason Tan rather envious... nah, just kidding!! :-)
