Singapore Idol Top 24 : Ryan Lee

In The Shower with :

Ryan Lee

(nickname : Glamourboy)

Ryan is a character. Sassy as hell. But also hilarious, as long as you're not on the receiving end of the b*tch wand. :) He's honest and will call you out straight to your face. Only a really honest person would dare to describe themselves as manipulative and bitchy on a popularity contest like Idol. (An honest person or a drama queen :))

Quick facts about Ryan :

Lives in : South

Occupation : Student, Hwa Zhong International

Favourite MJ song : Dirty Diana

Favourite Judge : Ken

Single/Attached? : Single

Who does he think will win Idol 3? Frances.

If music is your first love, what is your second?

My second love, I think would be, fashion. I want to be a fashion editor for a foreign magazine in the future. I love unique weird fashion styles. Like Lady Gaga. But not too gross like HUGE BOWS on head (oops, have you got a certain ousted contestant in mind?) or like Korean, Japanese weird fashion. Well I wanna be a fashion editor in a magazine. Like Miranda Priesly from devil wears prada. .. but not in Singapore, in New York or Paris...:)

I like shopping but I don't LOVE it. I'd rather judge and write about them, because how much can a guy buy? Seriously LOL, its easier for a girl cause they have accessories and bags and what not. So I'd rather judge and write about it. Feels awesome.

Other than that, it's FOOD. ULTIMATE FOOD. I have such a high metabolic rate (so unfair!!) that eating is a chore for me. I love to eat, because I dont gain weight easily. I lose weight just by not eating a proper meal for a week. <-- too much? pfft!

Secret Single Behaviour : What do you do on your own that no one knows about?

Weird things I do alone. Hmm.. well i'm a very straight forward and brutal person when it comes to up front-ness and honesty. I also share my weirdness with my friends (: it's a good laugh and sometimes interesting. Like for example, whenever I'm in a car or taxi, and it goes into a tunnel. I like to hold my breath and close my eyes and that will be the 'infinite zone'. I tell myself I get to fantasize about ANYTHING. and I will not feel a drop of guilt. Cause when the tunnel's over, I drop the train of thought. It's like just to make me smile and wonder. (:

(ok, that was so random, but I get the holding your breath thing, tunnels always inspire weirdness....I just always held my breath to see if I could beat the tunnel or the tunnel would beat me! LOL)

♥ ryry <--- doncha just love that sign off?

summerr's take :
Ryan is bitchy. And he makes no excuses for it. He tells it like it is, and a little more.

His less than savoury comments about fellow contestants have landed him in 'public' hot water. Forum threads are abuzz about his attitude etc.

Before the show aired, producers had already told me he had created some drama with his comments, but when I saw episode 3, I didn't think his comments were that bitchy. His group mate really was not in time....wouldn't it be normal to be frustrated about it, especially after rehearsing all night?

Some people self-censure when on national tv, its obvious Ryan doesn't. Oh well, if the camera's gonna be in your face 24/7, you have to decide early on if you want to be outwardly bitchy or not. I'm glad he's decided to be genuine (and sassy!). What's a reality show without people like Ryan right?

Ryan will be singing Michael Buble's "Moondance". I heard him at vocal training and I thought he sounded pretty suave. He's young though, so we hope he can pull it off. Either way, we can be sure he'll provide us some drama on his way up or out.

By the way, some trivia about his name.

"My name is Ryan Scott Santoso-Lee cause my mom is from Indonesia, and my dad is chinese. ON my IC. it's Ryan Lee Wen Kye 'cause I was born in Hong Kong. But when I got older and my parents divorced, my mom became a christian, so we got to pick names. Mine was Ryan Scott. and my mom's last name and my dad's last name was thus."

Make a date with Ryan!
