Upon hearing the bottom 3 of American Idol, I really wonder if the votes of the supposedly 40 million people in America do really count in the eliminating process of the contestants. Or are they just a source of revenue for the people behind the Idol competition?

The Americans surely are able to differentiate between 'good singing' and 'bad' ones right?
If that's so why the hell is this guy still able to smile his way happily for yet another week of Idol?


After so many seasons of Idol, have they gone 'deaf' or what here? Hah! I thought Singaporeans are the only ones who were dumb enough to keep contestants like Sylvester Sim right up to the Final round of Idol. It seems like the Americans have follow suit too, huh...

That is, provided that the votes were REALLY not rigged by the Idol management. But hey, no matter how a 'reality TV' programme works, they are still not as real as what you think it may be.

It all works the same way for any other 'audience-get-to-vote' contests. There's bound to be a loser in the competition, in AI's case, Bucky Covington. (He's the real loser for me, at least in me eyes.) AI will keep Bucky in the competition and eliminate other contestants, and THUS make Americans think that they actually haven't voted enough to keep their favourite contestants in the show! So much so that it makes Bucky look as if he's got loads of supporters rooting for him.

C'mon lah, in Sylvester, I finally realised that people are actually swayed to vote for poseurs and not even give a damn about the singing qualities. But I doubt it's the same over in the US. And for all the respect I have for Bucky, he's not suitable for Idol.

So people will keep on keying in EVEN MORE votes for the remaining contestants and that will only mean 'kerchiiing!' for the Idol management.

I just have hope for Idol. As much as they want (more)money, please let Singapore's edition be a lesson learnt. Don't eliminate contestants who obviously have better singing qualities and let losers get the centre stage. Bucky ought to be out NEXT WEEK!!!

As for Sylvester, look at this guy...


Chris Daughtry. Remember the name. At least he doesn't need to act cute and do those stupid poses in order to woo girls, in his case, voters. I wonder why and if girls actually fall for his cute demeanor.

Incidentally, I found this website for Sylvester Sim, obviously done by his lunatic fans.

And let me share with you their thoughts about their (fallen) idol. Presenting...




1. It's a relative thing. There's just more stuff about Sly than Taufik in the press to get totally engrossed with. (Really? Like how he learnt how to smile only on Idol and got to do and ad on a toothpaste just 'cause of it? Sheesh..)

2.He's got the vibe with the audience. That smile & that wink make all the girls' heart flutter. (Wait, wait... that is after you have excluded those girls who have vomitted out of it.)

3.He has the most unique voice quality & pelvic pattern. (Yikes! Now to a girl's heart is through the... pelvic pattern?)

4. He is cute.. apparently. (Whatever that makes you happy...)

5. He has a more defined image that people can pick up on. He even has a namesake - he's a rocker dude with a cartoon cat's name! And his diligence in working out his diction friction melts hearts. (I tot, I tot I saw a pussy(cat)! I did! I did! I did saw a pussy(cat)!)

6. He's got stage presence. He has this hand pointing thang that's his trademark. (Hand pointing thang=stage presence? You haven't seen Eminem and 50 Cent perform live, have you?)

7. He does a mean Steven Tyler. (Steven who?)

8. He can storm the Chinese music scene on a regional level. (I hope he can weather the storm too, pun totally intended.)

9. He's got the cool fringe. (That's why he rocks? OMG! Spare a thought for our NS men! They are protecting our country and I think that rocks even more!)

10. Last but not least, Taufik is the R&B man. Obviously, only Sly rocks! (I don't see anything that is obvious there, sadly...)



I just realised that I've been ranting about Sly. Sheesh... must be the hatred I've had for him from last year. And it would be foolish of you to think that that is a form of a grudge.
