I don't have much to say about the Michael Jackson Tribute that took place during Singapore Idol Top 10 Spectaculars. I personally felt that the Tribute by Gurmit, Andie, Daren, Pat Mok and 2 other artistes during the President Star Charity on Sunday night was more justified (but that's only because they had much more experience and exposure than the Idol wannabes). What I saw just now was a rather lacklustre show in all, only 4 finalists were most impressive. Namely Tabitha, Amira, Mae and Sezairi. The rest were either average or lacking the 'fire' (sorry, Sylvia). I think Idol alumni Nat and Primero who were present during the performance show would do a better job in emulating MJ anytime...
I was expecting a little more from Faizal's take on "Billie Jean", even if it should be the first p[erformance to be featured. Charles' rendition of "Remember The Time" started off with a totally awesome beatboxing interlude, but did very little to conceal his weak vocal prowess. Malaque's rendition of "Rock With You" was decent, but why must she come up with a nonsensical rap at the start an middle of the song? And ermm, I don't have anything to say about Duane's take on "The Girl Is Mine". I got a feeling that Michael might be rolling non-stop in his grave...
Good news is... Tabitha, Faizal and Amira are declared safe, can see them at the SI Top 9 roadshow at Plaza Singapura on Sunday!!! :-D
Not-so-good news is... the surprise twist in determining the finalist in the Bottom 3 positions. The ones seated at the corner, namely Sezairi, Sylvia and Mae, are declared to be safe. Which means that the remainder standing in the middle are in the Unsafe Zone. They are Nurul, Charles and Malaque (3rd time already!!). And Duane that 'mutant Grouper Fish' is safe yet again, grrr!!
Worst piece of news is... Nurul Huda, the 13th Wonder who replaced MJ Kuok, was the one with the lowest number of votes, her Idol journey ends here. Somehow reminded me a bit of Nikko Smith from American Idol season4, who took over Mario Valesquez who withdrew from the show. This is way too cincidental, given the fact that the 4th casualty was the one who replaced the one who shared the same initials as the King of Pop himself.
This is a rather difficult decision to make, but I hereby make a vow that I will stop watching Singapore Idol 3 for good (and rely on updates via Internet) based on any one of the following conditions...
1) if DH that grouper fish makes it to the Final 5,
2) if more gals get kicked out in the next few weeks, or
3) the end result for the Finals is the same as Seasons 1 and 2, i.e. both of them male. Though that seems rather unlikely since the male contestants aren't very good. Then again... it might be possible. Remember how Sly managed to advance to the Finals for Season 1 in spite of being in the Bottom position more times than anyone else?
