Asian Idol.
To be honest, i don't think Hady Mirza's gonna win.
My pick earlier on before the show was
Malaysia's Jaclyn Victor.
Having seen her perform many times before,
I was certain she would be a cut above the rest.
Opinions change,
and after watching the Performance Show yesterday,
i've come to a conclusion that all the Idols
are almost equally matched.
To me, the more outstanding ones were
India's Abhijeet Sawant,
Malaysia's Jaclyn Victor
and
Indonesia's Mike Mohede,
who is probably hot favourite in winning this.
Then again, Idol was never a fair competition.
At least most of the time.
After all, it is not based on professional judgement,
but popularity and appeal to the viewers.
Though we are all quite satisfied with our eventual winners,
there are some talent that were dropped halfway through,
due to not being able to gain enough votes.
Hady Mirza put up a good performance.
But good is all that i can say.
He did not produce that moment of magic
that would be essential in winning an international level
competition like this.
He sang a Taufik Batisah song,
and also Beautiful Day, originally sang by U2.
I dont think its a coincidence that
World Idol winner,
Kurt Nilsen,
also sang Beautiful Day on World Idol.
I think Hady was doing his research,
and when he saw how Kurt Nilsen nailed World Idol
with a smashing performance with
Beautiful Day,
he was inspired to also perform the same song.
But like what one of the judges said,
A rock song like that does not really fit in
with such a competition.
After all, what Hady needs to show,
is his vocal prowess,
something which a rock song cant really bring out.
The judges didnt do Hady any justice too.
They emphasized so much that Hady's got more looks and appeal,
rather than real singing talent.
Come on, we all know Hady deserves to be our Idol.
He's good looking, yes, he got the female vote.
But he really can sing too.
They also emphasized on how Hady can still win
the competition through the female vote,
so much so that maybe the fangirls will realize that
they should spend their votes on someone else.
But that doesnt matter.
Imagine how insulted Hady would have felt on that stage,
when the judges were saying that if he was going to be Asian Idol,
it would be due to his looks rather than talent.
As much as I want Hady to win,
i think its a better that he doesnt.
At first look, Hady was surpassed by the other Idols
in terms of ability.
Also, if he wins, people are going to have
a bad impression of him.
"Oh, that kid? Ah, like what the judges said, he won
cuz the girls like him"
"Singaporeans are more affluent, they got more money
to spend on such shows"
or maybe I'm imagining too much.
Still, I do think the other Idols did slightly better than Hady.
Not too much though.
I dont think any of them gave a "winning performance"
And thinking it through again, Hady's performance was
not bad at all.
So maybe he still got a chance at winning.
GO HADY GO!!!
