Singapore Idol thoughts

Hahaa....the 'auntie' is out of the running. She did not come in the top three of round one. She was not chosen as one of the ten to make it for the Wildcard round next week. All this despite her being chosen tops of the contestant most viewers wanted to see in the wildcard stage. It goes to show what Ken Lim said to be true-'Singapore Idol is not a popularity contest..'...duh! On a sidenote..wassup with that overly possesive boyfriend/show of affection in public? Looks like the guy is as insecure as...nevermind...

Speaking of popularity contests...WAAZZUP WIF THAT?? Jerry Ong and Taufik got through to the top ten?? It is painfully obvious Nana and Beverly throughly deserved to go through. Luckily they got chosen for the wildcard round. The unfair part is that only..wait for it...wait for it...ONE..will go through to the final ten. Apparently Jerry's entire church voted for him. And the expression on Taufik's face when the results were announced said it all. Talk about shock results!

It seems that there was an uneven distribution of talent among the 3 shows. It seems most of the talent was in group 2.

And by the way the results went it looks like those with a ready made fan base will make it to the final stages.For example those with churches of large congregations and those from institutes of education (i.e. colleges and U's). Unfair but that is how the cookie crumbles sometimes. That is what happens in a small viewership like Singapore. A slight shift in voting accounts for a large say in who advances and who does not.
