the one about badrul and the american idol season 8...

american idol front row...

giler tension!!! sebenarnyer i dah buat posting about american idol season 8 last night... dah habis tulis tengah nak edit tuh tiba-tiba i salah edited and all my posting hilang... lepas tuh pulak dia ada draft autosaved so teruslah kosong posting tuh... malas giler nak betulkan i just biarkan jer lah... last night tuh buat posting konon-konon nak predict lah siapa yang dapat masuk top 12 from the second semifinal round...

alexis grace... my favourite from the first semifinal round...

anyway, up until now i was pretty amazed with the season 8... giler punya susah nak dapat masuk top 12... dah lah banyak giler amazing talents this year... actually bukan nak bandingkan secara direct american idol and our own reality shows yang dah makin banyak nih, tapi we have pretty good talents around here as well... maksud i tak bandingkan secara direct ialah macam kalau kita pergi london, kita tak bolehlah nak kira harga secawan kopi satu pound tuh sama dengan enam ringgit duit kita... memanglah rasa mahal... tapi kalau kita anggap secawan kopi harga satu pound sama dengan secawan kopi kat sinih harga satu ringgit baru adil lah... muhahaha... alamak, susah giler nak explain... so again like i said, kita pun ada pretty amazing talents...

danny gokey...

apa yang bagus this season ialah dorang introduce another judge kara dioguardi... even though the rumours kata the reason they introduce new judge was to take over paula abdul's place once her contract expired lepas habis season nih... tak tau lah betul ker tidak... but i hope not lah... i do like paula walaupun ada masa macam sedih sikit komen dia, tapi she always see the positive thing in people... muhahaha... like the other day dia tak tau macam mana nak comment, dia focus to the girl's legs... cakap she has beautiful legs... muhahahaha... but at least takder lah sampai tak nampak satu kebaikan pun kan...

michael sarver...

i memang tengah giler dengan american idol season 8 nih... setakat nih i belum miss one show pun including masa audition rounds... i actually realised satu benda yang sangat bagus tentang american idol... it's how they edit the show... editing dier memang superb habis... i think tuh merupakan kelemahan kebanyakan rancangan realiti kat malaysia nih... tak tau lah sama ada orang-orang kita takder banyak pengalaman in term of editing reality shows or kalau orang-orang kita tak cukup masa or tak cukup peralatan terkini to do the editing... mungkin satu hari nanti bila kita boleh improve editing, kita akan buat penonton-penonton kita tak berganjak menonton rancangan kita... anyway, editing is a part of it lah... bukan semuanya...

anoop... another slumdog / underdog millionaire?

okay, iklan kejap... sekarang nih masa tengah update blog nih i tengok one in a million... amylea baru habis nyanyi... tema minggu nih 'memori tercipta'... i feel sad with their choice of songs... setakat yang i tengok nih kecuali amylea, semua pilih lagu untuk orang tuh lah orang nih lah... memang tuh lah yang dikehendaki oleh tema tapi please lah, you can just made it up for all that i care... how would i know about your dad's favourite song pun kan? so pilih jer lah lagu apa-apa pun... the most important thing to do is to choose the right song to showcase your vocal... but banyak yang salah pilih lagu lama yang dah beratus dan beribu kali dinyanyikan sampai kalau buat macam mana pun will not sound that much different from the original... why do you have to choose 'getaran jiwa' or 'my way'? gosshhh!!! semua tak sound relevant and current... okay, iklan dah habis... i think i have to do one proper posting for one in a million... muhahaha...

adam lambert... my favourite from the second round...

back to the american idol season 8... first round of semi-final, i teka dua daripada tiga dengan tepat... my favourite from the first round was alexis grace! i think persembahan dia memang memukau giler... of course the second one was danny gokey... memang dari awal lagih dia ada kelebihan... not just in term of vocal tapi jugak tv time... so banyaklah kelebihannya... i think he was good when he sang 'hero' but belum sampai buat i giler terpegun macam masa david cook nyanyi lagu 'always be my baby', also from the same singer... my third choice was actually ricky braddy kalau nak dibandingkan dengan michael sarver tapi i tak kisah sangat... i hope that ricky and another contestant anoop will make it to the wild card round...

allison iraheta...

second round of semifinal yang baru keluar result tadi petang pun i dapat teka dua daripada tiga... tapi sebenar nyer the third one pun masuk dalam list jugak sebab ramai yang bagus... of course my first choice was adam lambert... theatrical or not, his performance memang mengagumkan... that was a serious talent!! the 16 year old allison iraheta pun someone to watch out too... cuma personality belum keluar lagih but in time it will... boleh nampak... my other choice was actually megan corkrey... i think she is so unique and talented and so damn pretty... kris allen was my fourth choice so kira okay lah jugak... hopefully megan will make it to the wild card round together with mishovanna who i think should be given another chance...

kris allen...

yeah! yeah! yeah! amylea dapat immunity! she deserve it! dier sorang jer yang sound current compare to the rest... lama giler nak tulis posting nih sampai habis one in a milion pun posting nih belum habis lagih... muhahaha... i think that was an excellent idea to introduce the immunity system... sayang kalau ada orang yang betul-betul perform best tapi tak dapat banyak vote terkeluar... anyway, back to the american idol... i betul-betul tak faham kenapa people like tatiana and nick mitchell @ normund gentle are in the top 36... ramai giler lagi yang more talented... both should masuk america got talent or any other reality show... thank god both tak masuk top 12... kalau tak, it will be a joke lah... maybe before this dorang nak kasi kontroversi sikit kot... but still kesian kat another two person yang betul-betul deserve to be in the top 36 more than these two... okaylah, tak sabar nak tunggu the third round of semifinal next week...

megan corkrey... hopefully she will make it to the wild card round...

and back to our local reality show, akademi fantasia musim ketujuh dah nak start dah... i heard that the top 20 dah dipilih and dah register last tuesday... the top 12 will be chosen by the end of this week... oh wait, it's already the end of the week... i think by sunday kot... and if i'm not mistaken by tuesday next week they will reveal the top 12 to everyone... hopefully this time around yang terpilih bukan sahaja boleh menyanyi tetapi ada full package to suit our entertainment market... enough with using the students' background to create apa jugak controversial issues... carilah idea baru... nak tengok jugak apakah transformasi dan reformasi af7 yang dorang canang-canangkan sekarang nih... i will be involved secara tak langsung dengan af7 but nanti lah i ceritakan...

the one about badrul and the urge to start blogging again...

single cover...

lama giler tak blog... kadang-kadang masa yang tak mengizinkan... most of the time i'm too lazy to write anything... and as usual bila bukak blog kepala jadi blank... and i started blog hopping from one blog to the other and lepas tuh terus lupa nak tulis apa-apa... muhahaha... banyak benda yang terjadi in my life but i guess semua orang pun lalui benda yang sama jugak... sometimes bila i tengok blog orang lain, mak datuk banyak giler benda-benda baru which i thought my blog dah ketinggalan jauh... tapi buat masa sekarang i want to try my best to focus on blogging rather than on the new gadgets that they have... nanti bila ada masa yang lebih sesuai i will start to change the look of my blog here and there...

cd label...

anyway, most of you mungkin dah dengar single baru duet between diddy and nur... if you have not, go to diddy's blog or audi mok and listen to it on their imeem... i suker giler with that song... tak kisahlah orang nak kata bias pun... muhahhaha... tapi the arrangement is so beautiful and suara diddy and nur really compliment each other... of course another unique thing about that single which i think 'lari' dari the usual hit song was that lirik nya berdialog between two singers... ada dua perkataan sajer that were repeated during the whole song... orang kata kita kena tulis lirik yang diulang-ulang especially the chorus part untuk mudah orang ingat but sometimes we have to do something out of the ordinary... another thing that make this song special was that diddy and nur sendiri yang tulis lirik lagu nyer...

nur inside cover...

the story in the song was break into three parts... first part tuh macam diddy tengah mengadu kat nur about his dream to spend his life with the girl he loved was shattered... so nur kira macam pujuk dia lah... the second part was bila he kind of masih cuba nak terima kenyataan and she was telling him to stop drowning himself in sadness... and the bridge part tuh bila dia dah macam terima dah... the last line before the final chorus tuh 'kini ku mengerti...' as if he has accepted his fate... the last chorus tuh macam dah move on... hah, lebih kurang macam tuh lah cerita nya... campur dengan elemen music cina dalam lagu nih memang buatkan sayu giler... and most importantly, tak rasa bosan dengar berulang-ulang...

ramai jugak lah orang tanya pasal single 'sudah' nih... macam kat mana nak beli etc... sebenarnya takda dalam plan i nak jual this single sebab kos untuk printing is quite high... yalah kan kalau nak print setakat seratus atau dua ratus tuh memang tinggi kos dia and the only way for me to lower the cost is to print at least 1000 ke atas... then again, kalau takda orang nak beli rugi lah jugak kan... hari tuh ada jugak kita jual during gaza at rm8 but it was totally at cost price... we donated 100% hasil jualan tersebut to gaza... tengoklah macam mana nanti kalau ada permintaan yang banyak, then i will think about printing it...

okay lah... for a start i think i dah tulis panjang jugak... we are currently working on diddy's solo single... ada dua buah lagu yang memang dah confirm and we actually need to sit down with beberapa orang composers and lyricists lagih to work on other songs... i'm hoping that we can release a full album this year... insyaAllah... sekarang nih kena buat plan yang rapi... apa-apa pun i'm happy that at least diddy dah ada full album... full album nih macam passport for you to be a full fledged singer...

sooooo good to be back blogging again...
