Asian Idol? And the point is?

Reading the comments on Youtube about Hady winning Asian Idol is extremely disheartening.Time: 12/17/2007 03:18:00 PM
I mean isn't the show all about promoting and celebrating Asian talents? Now it has become nothing but mean and petty name calling.
Is it all necessary? Personally attacking Hady and his fans? Bringing politics and nationalism into the picture? Attacking Singaporeans as a whole? Using derogatory and other hate terms to put your points across...
Shame on you.
And isn't the equally immature exchange from the pro-Hady camp just as wrong? Lashing out against those in the opposing camp with snobbish retaliation. Stooping to their low and trading insults are never justifiable. Two wrongs do not make a right.
Shame on you.
Has Asian Idol bring more harm than good? Should we do away with it altogether?
I agree with Twinnie. We should stop all these World Idol or Asian Idol competitions.
They would just be bringing more animosity instead of bringing the countries closer.
Shame on us for allowing racial lines, national boundaries and hatred to overshadow the competition.
Now, aside from the rampant political strife and natural disasters across Asia, we have this to add to our list of problems...
We have totally missed the point.

Agreed. No more hate
hey, been your blog reader for some time now but nv commented. Well, it's something like Miss Singapore Universe or any other national live TV programs... these poor contestants never get any support or anything nice from viewers. By going on tv, the chances of getting ridicule is very big... Although there r still lots of wannabes or "aspiring" ppl out there, but you wonder y ppl's (viewers mainly) upbringing & thinking is like that...
True.
What really irks me is that while these ppl are daring enuf to stand 'live' on stage to perform, there are horribly rude ppl bumming at home critisizing the same ppl they are too afraid to follow in the footsteps of.
If I could meet any of these Hady-slammers, I wud just have one question to ask them, "Can you sing?"
"If you can, prove yourself and werk all the way to the top and become the next Asian Idol. Only then would I listen to you and agree with you."
