THE NEXT BIG THING

I haven't sleep yet up until now since yesterday. And right now my head keep doing its dizzy lolly stuff. Well, I am used to it by the way. I've been watching a reality show called One In A Million. It is some kind of reality program mainly concentrating on singing talent hunt. If you guys ever watched American Idol or Malaysian Idol, basically this reality show is somehow like that one. One In A Million (OIAM) has entered its 3rd season now and the competition has been narrow down to five competitors right now. I only watch OIAM in first season. I did not watch the second season because it was boring. The first season I watched, I was really impressed by Faizal Tahir's performances. He was indeed a talented singer and composer. Even though he did not win the one million ringgit but he was able to put his name as one of the most successful singer in Malaysia. Prior to becoming a rock star singer he was in a nasyeed band. Well, I do not want to comment much about his past carrier. It was his choice and perhaps somehow he had made a wise decision leaving his nasyeed band. As i said earlier i did not watch any of season two episodes. So, there are nothing much to tell. Now, I want to draw your attention to season three. This is the hottest season yet. Well, that is what they keep telling all the audiences. And I totally agree with them on this. Out of hundred contestant, it has been drawn to top 12 contestants. And all the 12 contestants were really amazing singers. I mean, it is really hard to guess who will go out each and every week. And now, only five contestants left, out of twelve contestants before. If I am not mistaken, there are only 2 weeks left before the final event. Meaning, two more contestants will be voted out this week and the next week. The top five for now are Tomok, Ester, Amylea, Nine and Aweera. I hate to admit this but so far in the competition, Tomok has proven that he is worth for that one million ringgit. He is a very consistent performer. And, the judges keep saying that he is brilliant because he could arrange music so well. But the thing is, even though he has great creativity, he lacks of vocal for sure. Me, I am more impressed by Aweera. Of all the contestants, only he has a great vocal and he is only 18 years old. This Aweera boy has a vocal similar to Amy and Awie. A very strong one. And for me he has been doing well up until now but the problem is the judges are not so into him because he kept singing 80's songs. They said that he is outdated. Well, I say this. Aweera has a lot potential in him. He is young and he has a lot to learn. But noticed this as well. He has this great vocal which will only appear in 10 or perhaps 20 years. If we put him in a right track, we will make the next Amy and Awie, only he is much better than both of them for sure. I do not think that if we put our interest in him, he will likely to disappoint us. Maybe he lacks of creativity but hey, look at the bright sight. He is still young. He can learn. You can learn vocal but that would not be much a help. Why? It is simply because, that is what built in you. You can never change your voice. So, between vocal and creativity which one is better? Ponder this.
