And so it happened.
Hady Mirza became the first ever Asian Idol.
Really i was shocked.
(i got vote for him okay)
But at the same time delighted
that all his effort did not go into waste.
I rewatched all the performances here

i take back wad i said about him
being surpassed by the other idols.
i guess he really was on par with the others.
my judgement was probably affected by the judges comments,
who clearly sided contestants like
Mike, Jaclyn, and Mau.
And so Singapore played the role of underdog
and gained all the glory in the final minutes.
And fortunately, though he was almost reduced to tears,
Hady didnt disappoint with his final performance,
leaving a good taste in every1's mouth.
Here's a fact on how the winner was chosen.
As consideration on population size among the participating countries, tabulation of votes are done through an "Equal and Even Cumulative Method", wherein the total votes of each country are converted into percentages. The winner was determined through 50% viewers' votes and 50% judges' scores, in which Hady Mirza from Singapore Idol won the crown.

and so it wasnt really unfair at all.
Needless to say, Hady Mirza DOES deserve to be
Asia's very first Idol.
(if there is ever gonna be a second)
I mean, look what happened to World Idol.
CRITICIZED
- for making the 10 out of 11 Idols look like losers,
- for profit making in UK phone voting,
- and for the purpose of exposing Kelly Clarkson to
a wider audience.
