VOTE VOTE VOTE Spectacular 11!

8pm... Lines Are Open!

Just a quick reminder that last week's votes will be rolled over to this week. So tonight's result will be a tally of the votes taken from last Wednesday and tonight.

Last week, the bottom 2 were Charlie and Tabby. Only YOU can change, or maintain, that outcome tonight.

So what say you Singapore? Who's going home tonight? And who have you put through to the Top 3? Time to get those digits movin' - you only have 2 hours to seal the fates of your Top 4.

Voting, performance and song deets are all on the left sidebar for your quick reference, otherwise, for more details, click on these related links :

Results show starts at 10pm, until then you have a FULL HOUR to concentrate on voting! Plus, here's a peek at tonight's group performance. Shot by Iz on Monday at choreo practice, your Top 6 will be performing Pixie Lott's Boys & Girls.

Here's the vid in case you're clueless about the song :) But how could you be? Pixie Lott's huge!! :)

Anyway, keep the votes comin' in, and dare I say it .... 'Save The Girls' <-- could be a teeshirt! New Urban Male, if you can do 'Boomz' on a tee, you can do this.

xoxo, s.

VOTE VOTE VOTE Spectacular 8!

Its 8pm and Spectacular 8 has begun!

More importantly, the lines are OPEN! So start voting NOW NOW NOW NOW! (voting deets & song list on the left side bar for quick ref!)

Vote responsibly (see Official Blogger Iz's post about this).

Vote for the contestant that YOU feel is the most appropriate to represent the country on a global platform... as Ken says aptly in this vid here...

I totally agree with what Ken says. Taufik will be performing for Obama when he visits. Which one of these Top 6 do you think will make us proud when something like this comes along again and the Idol will be Singapore's representative. Think Taufik for Obama, Hady for Asian Idol, the 'Singapore Girl' on an SIA flight....not Ris Low. (actually she wasn't all bad before the Shan & Rozz show, after that...aiyo, fame-whoring is so unglam <-- Ris is another topic for another day.)

Need a refresher, here's what happened last week (sorry, didn't have time to do a review, so I'm due two reviews after tonight :P)

And here are two vids (there shoulda been 6 but I ran outta time on Sunday, will ask the others the same question tonight after the show), here are Charles and Tabby on what winning Idol means to them...

Ok nuff blogging, time to get those fingers moving - and that means YOU too!

xoxo, s.

ps. Last week, during a break in the show, Wubby Matt asked me who I thought would be going home. Although I really didn't want it to be so, I had lost a lot of faith in Singapore's ability to vote 'correctly' so I said 'possibly Tabby or Sylvia'. In the end, Mae went home. If I were to be asked the same question tonight, my answer would be the same, until Singapore proves otherwise which I hope they will do. I don't wish any ill will towards the boys - its just that I want to see the girls progress further than this.

pps. To Sylvia and Tabby, its not that I don't have faith in you, I hope you both know that I believe you are both so very talented - its that I don't think enough people are voting for you(for a variety of reasons I shall not get into here at postscript). So stay strong girls, love you both and good luck for tonight!

Its IDOL DAY!!

Its that day of the week again folks! So exciting!

Sorry I've not been blogging every day this week (only token updates since I wasn't able to go to the roadshow on Saturday), its been challenging as I've had to juggle an extra variable - some overseas visitors :) My Aussie cousins came to visit along with their lil boy and it was amazing having them but it also meant I was totally zapped at the end of the day, and that when everyone went to bed - so did I (when normally I don't, I'd be blogging!)

Anyway all that aside, I'm glad to report I think I've had enough make-up sleep WOOT! Adrenaline has taken over at T-minus 4 and a half hours to IDOL! WOOT WOOT!

Tonight's theme is 'Killing Me Softly', so named because the Idols were given a chance to 'kill' each other's Idol journey by possibly sabo-ing them via song choices. However, our lovely Top 6 are so much like family they each chose wisely and thoughtfully for their fellow competitors.

Here are the song choices once again with the voting deets.... do remember to vote wisely.

This morning, I was listening to Tabby's and Sylvia's 987fm interview and Sylvia said something very interesting. She said she chose a good song for Duane also because she didn't want to be blamed for a poor song choice by his fans if he didn't make it through. Interesting! I never thought they would 'feel bad' and 'worry' about what the others' fans might think of their song choices.

woops - phone JUST beeped! Message from Iz who's watching rehearsals at the studio right now - ooh update for me!

Izked : 'Ok in all, everyone rocked except Duane ....'

whoa, hope Duane's aware...I reply : "Paparazzi is tuff..."

Then again, I'm not too worried... the trend so far has been that performances for the actual show tend to be better than at rehearsal (except for 'For Someone Special', when they all were superb at rehearsal and practically bombed during the show)- it's probably the Idols feeding off the energy from the audience and getting an adrenaline boost. So if you're in studio, especially mosh pit people, dun matter who you support - give every performing Idol loads of support k, it certainly makes a difference when people cheer you on and hey, we ALL help to make it a good show!

Thanks Iz for the update - miss ya babe - see you and the LODIs in like...2hrs plus! Gawd, only 2 more hours and so much more to blog about... better get a move on!

I hope everyone's well and back to 100% health and ready to give it their all. Last time I saw them was on Saturday's charity carwash @ Dempsey and they seemed alright.... fingers crossed no one is down with any bugs this week.
