Singapore Idle: Too Old
Bitched on: Monday, August 07, 2006

Is it me or do I feel too old for Singapore Idol?Time: 8/07/2006 12:01:00 AM
I have a headache (for God's sake) whenever the show is on (even when the commercial is shown)...
I kid you not.
I have to turn down the volume a notch otherwise my eardrums would explode...
Not because of the incompetent singing or Ja's nonsensical ramblings, but because of all those teenage girls screaming!
You know you are old when all the incessant (like-kena-raped) screamings can give you a migraine.
You also know that you are old when you feel that fantasizing about being with one of the female contestant on the show is illegal. You feel like a paedophile...
I feel old, watching the show.
So old, the only person I feel like I can relate to on the show is Gurmit and the four has-been judges.
Speaking of Gurmit, he should seriously step down as the host.
Not only is he like... balding, he is just not cool enough.
Make way for Daniel Ong, man.
He is the man. Fake American slang and all...
Which made me thinking, is the 10 cents hike (for each voting SMS or call) to pay for another (almost redundant) host?
Not only are we (when I say 'we', I don't mean myself) paying more, we (me included) are honestly listening to worse contestants than previous season, not to mention Jacintha's zen-like (or izzit drunk-like) comments (...bullshit...).
What's up with that woman?
Her comments are as useful as the human gall bladder.
Totally nonsensical, unconstructive and she is most likely to make anyone go, "HUH?" after she's done commenting.
But back to the singing hopeless, I mean, hopefuls, except for Hadi, Jonathan and Rahimah, the rest pretty much sucked.
Mathilda is a tad showoff-y but I have to admit, she is the show's singing diva.
However, her time is coming really soon.
Thankfully, Emilee is out. I was afraid she would be like last season's infamous Jerry. The weakest singer with a huge and questionable fan base.
Poor girl is always booed by the mostly teenage girl audience because
A. She's the oldest (28, Jay is 27, 'coincidentally', he's out too...)
B. She's a woman (not a cookie cutter boyband member)
C. She can't sing for nuts
Speaking of can't sing for nuts, there's Joakim and Paul.
What's up with this?
Why in the world are they still around?
More importantly, why do girls (my 20-something sister included) find Paul Twohill irresistibly cute?
What's up with the hair, dude?
It must be because of I-must-fast-to-save-money-to-vote-for-(insert name)-girls who are
A. Stick thin from all the fasting
B. Deaf and/or blind and/or mute (from all the screaming)
C. below 15.
Is Singapore Idol turning out to be another teenage-dominated-talentless-popularity-contest 'talent' show?
I'm beginning to think so.
And the producers of the show must really be patting themselves on the back for accomplishing this.
Who wouldn't?
Its like stealing a candy from a baby.
In this case, it would be like 'stealing' money from stupid teenagers who are still tied to their parents' purse string.
The producers are really doing everything they can to commercialise and advertise Singapore Idol to the teenage public.
From roadshows selling Singapore Idol merchandise for the 'idols' to sign on, to Singapore Idol websites (which you have to pay to join as a member, gee... retarded teens wouldn't even think twice).
The 'idols'-mania has even invaded the blogosphere.
They have had everything covered.
What next?
Pay a members-fee to know what undergarments your 'idols' are wearing?
Oh wait, they HAVE done that, they have stooped to that low.
PS: One major major complaint from me.
Can they screen the people entering the pit (the area surrounding the stage)?
Some of the audience look half dead when the 'idols' are singing.
Some are just too fugly.
And too old...
Oopps...
