Simon’s Obligatory Post on Malaysian Idol 2

Looks like I have to do an obligatory post on Malaysian Idol 2. I haven’t really watch it at all, except for a few episodes here and there. The timing of the show doesn’t fit my schedule really, me having to meet with my parole officer and all.

But I did watch latest results episode where Farah was voted out paving the way for Daniel and Nita to enter the last spectacular concert at the Arena of the Stars.

Well, between the two, Nita’s definitely the better singer, but I’ve seen some really poor performances from her. Daniel’s the smiley cute guy that gets all the girls’ votes. He looks just like that dude that sells pirated VCD at the foodcourt near my house. Everytime Daniel’s opens his mouth I’d always expect some Hokkien expletive like ‘KNN’ to come out… OK, enough already…

Anyway, I kinda liked Faizull (?) the one dimensional rocker dude, nice guy, but never really champion material. But anyway, Malaysian Idol hasn’t really caught on like American Idol (just ask anjali*) or gasp, Akademi Fantasia (just ask zyrin).

Anyway I can think of 5 good ways to spruce up the viewership and ratings of Malaysian Idol next season:

  • Get Paul Moss to wear tight, black baby-T-shirts and speak in a fake British accent (his current Aussie accent is been too Malaysianized). That’ll draw in the Simon Cowell fans.

  • Get a bigger auditorium, hence more audience. The current one (Sri Pentas) looks like my secondary school hall.

  • Want to encourage the singers to perform better? If they don’t sing well, give the audience rotten tomatoes and vegetables to hurl at the performers. Or the judges.

  • Do a Metallica or Sepultura themed night. Then I’LL watch it!

  • Get rid of that shallow, arrogant, pretentious judge Roslan. He makes Randy Jackson sound like Einstein.
