I love the Singapore Idles

So another episode of Singapore Idol just passed, and once again, I felt the compulsive urge to pull out every single strand of my hair, smother myself, and just throw a chair into the television. Oh, not to forget, while screaming “THAT’S NOT ROCK YOU FUCKING MORON.”

Good Charlotte isn’t rock. A Shrek OST is definitely not rock. Downtuning a song to match your (lack of) vocal quality does not equate to being a great singer. Being able to dance, look (act) cute, and make a jack ass out of yourself in national TV does not make you the next Singapore Idle.

Singapore Idle isn’t a competition of looks. It’s a fucking singing competition. Kwai-lo wannabes and underaged cutesy-looking fellows who can’t sing for nuts shouldn’t have even been allowed on stage, much less voted over those who actually posess the vocal qualities.

Good lord Singapore. Wake up and dig your ears, cuz’ its time to listen closely and find out (rudely, maybe) that your “favourite” contestants can’t really sing at all.

  1. Wonderful. Someone else feels the same way I do.

    My friend and I called it divine intervention when a branch knocked the antenna on the bus whilst the Singapore Idol advertisment was on.

  2. Haha I’m not the only one who felt that way. I caught Singapore Idle in camp, and this post echoed the sentiments of my bunk mates.

    That’s divine intervention for sure. But I kinda like the new idol advertisement… the one where it goes “This Trailer will not show anymore faces”, I think that’s one of the best advertisements ever, and they should have aired that even before this parody of American Idol progressed this far.

  3. lol i just enjoy reading your entries man. hahah. (: (shhh. guess who?)

  4. dey who else lar haha…

  5. Oh, no. The commercial I’m referring to is the one where they feature the singing of all the idols…

  6. i dont think any of them can really sing :( sad

  7. Hmm rdrake, I haven’t really seen that commercial. I’ve only seen the one where they urged the viewers to LISTEN before voting..

    Wen: yeah they can’t sing for nuts. damn bloody sad eh.
