showdown tonight

Monday, September 25, 2006

Jonathan Leong a.k.a. Johan Leong Abdullah, (according to Eling and Leyng) is too diplomatic for me. It's nice to see someone eat humble pie now and then but too much of it, it's fattening, yeah? All that cream and icing and a lil cherry on top of that pie? And before you know it, you get tired eventually.

It's the same effect and nausea I get as with Rahimah Rahim the Idol contestant (not to be confused with Rahimah Rahim, the real singer). The one with too much of that teeny-booper trying to be all rock chic. Pfft.

Enough with all that "Thank you all for coming", and "I'd like to thank all my family, friends, people at home, and most importantly, all my fans... Without you, I won't be here" bit. I've seen and had enough of all that. Can we have some unpolished, raw attitude here? I'm not suggesting rudeness, but maybe less nods, less waves, less bows to the audience?

Too politically-correct, I say.

Tell you what, Johan, if you don't win tonight, consider running as a candidate for MP for the youth wing. Confirm you won't go wrong there.

Hady may have a perpetual dazed look in his eyes but at least he's not sucking up to the audience, to the judges and even to Gurmit Singh. Ok? Tu baru superstar, understand? Not sucking up to people.

Now I'm not just saying this because Hady is Melayu. It's also because, face it, he is the better singer. Better than Taufik even. Better than Johan, hands down. Macam itu professional lah. Kelab malam pun kelab malam, lah! Tak cerewet, asalkan bagus. Hurhur.
