Its just before 9pm, you SHOULD be watching the last of your Top 5 perform right now.
Here's what they sang tonight (and the vids of the original songs).
LINES ARE STILL OPEN! VOTE VOTE VOTE!
"Beautiful Soul"by Jesse McCartney
- this song totally puts him in 'heartthrob' mode :)
"The Climb" by Miley Cyrus
- Not a bad song choice, lyrics are meaningful. Tabby's voice isn't like Miley's, but they are both powerful, so hope Tabby did good. Iz watched her at rehearsals and said she was awesome!
"Cry"by Mandy Moore
- I love this song (and the movie - wahlao cried til my eyes were bengkak) but I love Sylvia's version of this song EVEN MORE! While Mandy's version was fairly light, Sylvia's version has got so much more soul.
"Wherever You Will Go" by The Calling
- This song always reminds me of Smallville (its on the soundtrack) and I love that show, and this song too. Since Charles sang it with just his guitar, I'm sure it was wonderful (this is a scheduled post).
"Virtual Insanity" by Jamiroquai
- Very interesting song suggestion/choice. The song is laidback and cool, but not easy to sing. I hope Airi pulled it off. Not easy to emulate or re-interpret the great JayKay.
Hope you enjoyed the show. Come back at 10pm to find out what next week's theme is. You have just under an hour to VOTE - so keep VOTING!!!!!
xoxo, s.
ps. Am backstage right now with the LODIs, so follow my tweets/twitpics for live updates :)
cos we get to watch the Idols perform in all their full made-up, pimped-out, amped-up glory! I love going down to the studio and experiencing Idol LIVE. The atmosphere there is amazing - screaming fans, blaring music, more screaming fans. What's not to like?
Oh, and I get to 'curi' kopi from the Judges' room once in a while heh heh - always a great pick me up!
:(
I hate Wednesdays...
cos at 10.27pm, someone leaves the competition. Someone's idol dream comes to an abrupt halt. Its such a downer.
Oh well, lets not dwell on that shall we - lets look forward to the performance show, happening in less than 6 hours.
I'm actually looking forward to the group performance too, check out Iz's vid of the choreo rehearsal. I love BEP and this song always gets me goin', and if the Idols pull it off with the right amount of 'tude (which I'm sure they will), this will be quite enjoyable! :)
Will be off to the studio in about 4 hours time, keep a look out for my tweets/twitpics, and scheduled updates throughout the night! :)
8pm....WATCH & VOTE k!
xoxo, s.
ps. Gotta admit, one of my other fave parts of Idol Day is wardrobe watching :) hehe. I love seeing what the Idols are dressed in for both shows. Its like living vicariously. When there were more girls, it was like wah shoe-heaven!
pps. So weird, normally I'll post song list etc today, but er, cannot say...so...got nothing to post. Voting deets are on the left sidebar for quick reference :)
I love watching how they've morphed from raw and make-up free faces to the polished look they now have in trailers and on the show. Aw, muh babies have come so far!
Faizal
Trailer VO :Faizal, with his boyish charm and slick dance moves, he's this season's resident heartthrob, will Faizal be the next Singapore Idol?
June 09, looking like a cute Jason Mraz wannabe at his first audition.
Nov 09, looking very cute (and many say Idol-esque) with his charming heart-melting smile.
This endpage pretty much sums up my perception of Faizal's Idol journey this season, its like he's poised to win it. He has the moves, grooves and style.

Tabitha
Trailer VO : Tabitha, with good looks confidence and a powerful voice, she's simply the full package. Will she be the first female singapore idol?
June 09, Tabby looking sweet-faced, (and v. young! not that she looks old now though!) and innocent at her first audition.
Nov 09, Tabby looking super hawt, vamped up and gorgeous! Starlet!
This endpage for me, is about the body language, and it says to me that Tabby is already a star. She looks comfortable, confident and charismatic here.

Sylvia
Trailer VO :Sylvia she comes from a humble background, this is her chance to change her life. Will sylvia be the first female Singapore Idol?
June 09, Sylvia is fresh-faced and devoid of makeup at her first audition.
Nov 09, Hello Sylvia the Starlet! GORGEOUS!
The song used for Sylvia's profile ends with the line 'I'm a dreamer' and it pretty much sums up this pic. Its almost poetic cos she looks so good.

Charles
Trailer VO :Charles, beatboxing champion, but thats' not his only talent. Shy sweet and sincere, will Charles be the next Singapore Idol?
June 09, Charles beatboxing at his first audition.
Nov 09, Charles looking very much like a handsome artiste now.
Love the endpage because its where I love Charles the most, 'singing intimately' with his guitar.
Charles' Top 5 Profile trailer
Sezairi
Trailer VO :Sezairi, one of the most vocally distinctive contestants, an original who tries to make every song his own. A romantic with a funny side, will sezairi be the next Singapore Idol?
June 09, This is what Airi looked like at Auditions. He was 'nicknamed' Najip Ali.
Nov 09, Don't know 'bout you, but I think he cleaned up good :)
Love this 'Man In The Mirror' shot, cos imo, Airi's all about everything the song conveys when it comes to his music. He always starts with the 'man in the mirror' and thats what I love about him.
