So far so good
my favourite teams did well
they came out First & Second respectively

no team is eliminated
as it was a non-elimination leg
however
the last team (Christie & Jodi)
need to do Speed Bump in the next leg

What can I say
after watching the first concert
it was boring...with capital B

the only performance I wanted to watch again was
AC's shuffle dance with Aril :))

If I were the producer
I would kick out almost half of the contestants
the songs choice were theirs, right?
and yet....it failed to lure me

the only commendable performances were

Claudia
Rubisa
(except for her 'kneeling-dance' yikesss)
Aril

the rest are forgettable

and the judges?
I could sleep during their giving comments
Edry was saying, they were told to give good remarks only
NO WONDER!!!

Everything was so wrong that night
the stage
the wardrobe
the sound system
the people crowding the stage
the MC
the American Idol copycat

The first concert was already forgotten by me
let's see what's in store for us this weekend

the students will do medley

Adila
Merawat Cinta Terpendam (Liza Hanim)
Asyik (Amelina)

Aishah
Coba (Faizal Tahir)

I am still waiting for the transformation :(

When Randy Jackson says
its theme for this week is Country Song
I immediately imagine how Adam Lambert gonna perform ;)

and it turned out to be
unique!

a country song fully-modified by him
something new which is welcomed by me
I have to watch twice of his performance (repeat at 8.00pm)
I am so amazed of his vocals - the falsetto! gosh!
It's 'creepy good' (is there such a word?) LoL


second best is
Kris Allen
followed by

Matt Giraud & Megan Corkrey

oh and of course

Anoop!


the rest were - [yawning]


my bottom 3 would be

Michael Saver
Scott MacIntyre
Alexis Grace


~ with Michael going home ~

Kebal betul si Nine tu. I thought he was the one to leave, though I did expect Pija due to her lame performance. Mungkin Nine ada ramai peminat maklumlah he is an establish singer.


Here's my personal judgement (fuyoo!!) - in my favourite order ~


Rizu
I'm watching this boy closely. If there's one person who can beat Esther, he is the one! Tapi orang tidak memandang bakat dia. Kesian! Tapi good news for Esther lah ;)


Esther
I do agree with the judges that the contestants should allowed to improvise their song. BUT still, Esther did well with her song. So stop condemning the composer like it was such a big issue!


Tomok
Immunity belong to him this week. I thought it was given to a girl coz the girls are decreasing. It shows that people, especially young girls (I think!) are voting for the boys! Nevertheless, Tomok did well with his performance.


Amylea
I put her in no. 4 as credit of choosing Estranged's song LoL. I think her performance could safe her this week.


Nine
I just can't believe I put him in no. 5! He improved a lot. I won't comment more coz I don't like him hahahaha


Simon
Another performance from him WITH guitar. I'm still saying, although he is good, he can't win this competition.


Fify
Banyak masalah falsetto. Cari nahas saja pilih lagu 'Kalis Rindu' :(


Aweera
Masuk saja sudah sumbang. Terus saya hilang minat walaupun towards the end of his song, dia ok.


Anith
Why in the h*** she chose Anuar Zain's song??!! Mungkin dia cari kelainan dengan memilih lagu lelaki. But, really, not Anuar Zain please.


Although I put Anith as the last in my list, I hope she isn't the one to leave. Peserta perempuan semakin berkurangan. Hopefully, one of the boys :)

Oh dear..
I was so damn busy
I don't even have time to update all my favourite TV programs
here's a quick update on
The Amazing Race 14

Brad & Victoria


Amanda & Kris
So far
my favourite teams
Margie & her son Luke
Tammy & her brother Victor
are doing good in the Race
I hope they will reach Top 3

Watch tonight at AXN!





It's Friday the 13th (yikes!)
I hope nothing eerie happens today


Back to American Idol
they cut two contestants (how cruel!)
but on a positive side
the lesser the better :))


First thing first
Ryan revealed the BIG surprise we are waiting for
[I almost got it right though]


The Judges' Veto
meaning the judges can save one contestant who got fewer votes
but it was a one-time veto
once they've used it
there would be no more saving the contestants


and IF the judges have used their veto to save one contestant
it means nobody would be eliminated that week
but the next round
two contestants will leave (yikes!)


Then Ryan continued with the elimination process
Jasmine & Jorge were sent home
they sang for their immunity
but the judges say 'NO'


I wonder, who is among the contestants will get the judges' save?
we will find out
sooner or later
and I can't really wait ;)

by the way
Kelly Clarkson sang her new singles
"My Life Would Suck Without You"
superb! I like her song!


They covered Michael Jackson's album last night

I think all the girls did their job...err...ok
a 'so-so' performance

I would say all girls are safe

as for the boys
some are forgettable
lucky for Anoop when he chose 'Beat It'
even though he sounded average
but at least I could remember his performance ;)


but my choice for the night are

Adam Lambert
&
Matt Giraud
(I just hope Adam will do a 'slow' song next week)


Cowel said before the concert
two contestants will be going home tomorrow (that is tonight)
and at the end of the show
he mentioned like "it might not do good for us as judges"

I predicted
one contestant will leave because of receiving less votes
and the other contestant is chosen by the judges


Those in danger (i think) are

Kris
Jorge
Anoop

Daripada enam calon, hanya dua dari Sabah yang telah dipilih untuk memasuki pengajian di Akademi Fantasia. Mereka adalah Rubisa dari Kota Marudu dan Zizi dari Semporna, Tawau. Congrats to both of them!

AF juga buat kejutan dengan memilih 14 pelajar instead of 12 mengikut kebiasaannya. A bit crowded tapi we will see.

Pengetua AF masih dirahsiakan. Sarimah Ibrahim suruh kita tunggu lagi. Adeh! What so special about it? Bagi tau sajalah. Kalo Datuk Sheila Majid yang dipilih lagi bagus :)

Han

It was far more better than the previous concert. Nasib baik! otherwise mungkin saya sudah tertidur :)

Here are my personal review on the performances - in my favourite order ~~

Esther
I love everything about her. She was really good. To which I think, she should receive the immunity. But come to think of it, I don't think they will give it to her very often. The organizers need OUR MONEY! Vote for her please!

Rizu
I used to watch 'Wulan' so I know his song. It was brilliant! I know this boy can sing. I was surprised when Paul just noticed it.

Tomok
Not bad. I like his rendition of 'Crazy in Love'.

Simon
A good try from him. But something about him to which I think he can't win this.

Aweera
I think this guy was given a chance due to Syafinaz harsh critics last week ;) Fortunately for that, he had shown us a good show! Immunity? a consolation for him, I think LoL

Amylea
A 'so-so' performance. I missed Michael of American Idol 7 who sang the same song!

Anith
Moderate. I agree with Jac, she should give more adlib to her song.

Fify
I like Katy Pery's song. It was performed in group in American Idol 8- flawless! But for Fify, she didn't nail it.

Pija
Oh dear Pija - what happened to you? You were so good during Mentor. This is the different Pija I see. I hope she can improved IF she is still around next week.

Nine
I disagree with the judges. So many off-pitch from him. Being a professional singer there shouldn't be a 'sumbang-mumbang' from him. Maybe the judges trying to help him to stay in the competition. I should think, he's out next week!

These are the American Idol Season 8 contestants ~~

Adam Lambert
Alexis Grace
Allison Iraheta
Anoop Desai
Danny Gokey
Jasmine Murray
Jorge Nunez
Kris Allen
Lil' Rounds
Matt Giraud
Megan Joy Corkrey
Michael Sarver
Scott MacIntyre

This is the first season, they introduced 13 finalists [My family were doing the 13th Station of the Station of the Cross yesterday - lucky 13 indeed]. And thanks to that, Anoop made it to the finals. Out of the 13, eight of them are actually my favourites and predicted them to be in the finals - Adam, Alexis, Allison, Danny, Jasmine, Lil Rounds, Matt and especially Megan!

Put aside Adam Lambert's controversy, I would think he can win this competition. But I'm looking foward more from Megan. She has this cute little dance LoL.

Read Megan's interview here.

All pictures above are taken from Idol and arranged by me in alphabetical order.

Watched the American Idol last night
I don't know whether I was too tired last night or the show is really boring ;)
I fell asleep in the middle of the show LoL

Nevertheless,
I'll pick three contestants who might make it to the finals

and they are ~~



Lil' Rounds

Felicia Barton

Von Smith

oh and by the way

Felicia Barton was a replacement of

Joanna Pacitti

who was dropped out from Idol

why the because?

She has connection with 'top gun' in the 19 Entertainment (?)


Sayapun tidak mahu ketinggalan untuk membicarakan pasal AF. Bukan apa, selepas pihak Astro memperkenalkan top 20, saya dapati ada ramai dari Sabah ;) So, kita tunggu siapakah yang akan melangkah ke top 12 (kecuali kalo ada perubahan).


Peserta dari Sabah ~~


Abraham Edwin Dungot @ Ab - Ranau (sepupu si Linda kah ni?)

Alpaezah Manaf @ Faezah - Keningau

Cabrine Blaire Bernard Solibun @ Cabby - Kota Kinabalu (ingatkan Solibun ni org Penampang)

Lizda Nuryanti Abidin @ Lizda - Tawau

Nur Fazelah Mohd. Tahil @ Zizi - Semporna, Tawau

Rubisa Tiasin @ Rubisa - Kota Marudu


Gambar dan peserta yang lain, korang layanlah di mana-mana web. Ataupun, tunggu saja hari Sabtu & Ahad ni nanti di Astro Ria, pukul 9.00 malam. Tirai akan dibuka.....
gambar di atas diambil di bharian


The result of the round 2 came out last Friday
I didn't expect Kris Allen to be in the finals
his performance was just 'okay'
nothing to remember about
I'm sure ladies voted him because of his good looks (hensem ka??)

Simon Cowell said they will give wild cards
and from this group he had assured a couples would be given

I hope it would be
Megan Corkrey

and

Matt Giraud

Like the judges, I was a bit disappointed. I was not entertained. Something is lacking :(


Here's a quick review on contestants' performances (in random order) last Friday:

Esther
Never heard of her song and I don't like it :( I thought she was singing 'Better in Time' again as it appeared on the screen. A bit shaky in the beginning but overall, Esther did her best. I think she will safe. VOTE FOR HER GUYS!!!

Pija
I didn't get it why she received good compliments from the judges. "Since She's Been Gone" is way too big for her. She couldn't reach the note. Off-pitch pula tu! Adoi!

Han
Ayoo...sumbang jugalah...

Simon
I used to watch David Cook & Jason Castro with guitars. So, I tend to compare him with them. Nothing outstanding. Just safe. I hope he will get rid of the guitar next week!

Amylea
Another performance with guitar. Overall, she was good. Since all contestants didn't perform well, I'm gonna agree with the judges to give the immunity to her.

Tomok
Nothing new. Macam persembahan New Boyz saja :)

Nine
Forgettable! He must do something on his performance. Try and choose Faizal Tahir's song ;)

Fify
Dia ni ramai peminatlah. Tapi nyanyi tidak seberapa. Hmm sekarang saya terfikir-fikir sudah ni, camana dia boleh masuk top 12 hehehe

Rizu
Hey! This boy can sing. I really love his rendition of 'My Way'. Tapi betul lah komen seorang chatter - muka dia a bit kelihatan sombong. Mungkin nervous bangat bah dia ni kannn

Anith
Dia ni cantik lah hehehe. Suara dia to me 'ok-ok' saja.

Aweera
Syafinaz cakap dia ni menyalak. Terma menyalak, saya rasa a bit harsh. Melalak mungkin sopan sikit hahaha. Ok now. Back to his singing that night. He was screeching all the way. Gosh! I can feel the pain in his throat. His eyes were red too! If he wasn't feel well, he should try a 'mellow' song.


Who should leave? I think it should be Aweera.

pic above taken from mstar

After watching last night's performances
I think Jasmine Murray screwed it up

My choice would be

Adam Lambert (definitely)
Megan Joy Corkrey (i'm just putting my fingers cross)

&

Allison Iraheta (thanks to her back-up singers!!)

Oh and by the way, I'm also giving suggestions here

Jeanine Vailes

(Please go and see Tyra Banks. You really have nice legs and lips, I think you will success in modelling and who knows, you could be the America's Next Top Model)

Nick Mitchell

(Ohh purrlizzz...go and audition yourself at Last Comic Standing
or America's Got Talent)


Results will be tonight
only on Star World

Adam Lambert is singing tomorrow night

same goes to Megan Corkrey

I hope both of them perform well
and also to Jasmine too

Let's watch at Star World!!


ps. Have a Blessed Ash Wednesday

Hey!
Where have I been?
What did I do?
How come I didn't know that the Race is on?

Well, actually
I don't watch TV nowadays
been busy! tired! sleepy! ~ beat me!!

While waiting for my washing machine
spinning doing the work
I 'played' with the TV's remote
I 'info' here and there, and guess what I found?
It's the Amazing Race 14 on AXN!!!
crap!
I missed the first episode, oh well!

So far, they've eliminated

Jennifer & Preston

and

Linda & Steve

when I checked CBS
I think I'll follow

Margie Adams and her son Luke

&

Tammy Jih and her brother Victor

I'll definitely won't miss next week!

23.2.09


As I didn't have any program last night
I watched the final of My Starz LG on TV3

erm...
there was something lacked on this show
I didn't get excited
could it be the final 4 contestants lacked of aura?
or the judges maybe?
or perhaps the presenter? especially Nas ~ he was so boring :(
or was it me?
well, to tell you the truth, I didn't follow this show LOL
so blame it on me!!

The reason I stayed and watched was because of Hairi
he is from Sabah, so to support Sabahan is a must :)
unfortunately, he did a 'so-so' performance
but I did enjoy Fiq though hehehe

The winner
Wana from Johor

2nd place
Nashrin from Penang

3rd place
Cassie from Kuching

and our Hairi took the last spot

pic above was taken from NST Online


I'm a fan! I'm a fan! ;)
Elizabeth A. Chin @ Esther

during the first concert last night
she sang Better in Time
it's a BIG song from Leona Lewis
but Esther nailed it with her own style!

for the first time (I think)
they awarded immunity to Esther
it means, she is safe!
she is through to the next concert
keep your money guys for the next round :)

more about Esther
click here

pic above taken from mstar

The first 12 contestants
performed live for the first time

The theme for the night was
Hits from Billboard

America will choose 3 contestants
to move to the next round

I hope they will choose

Alexis Grace

Danny Gokey

Ricky Braddy

I missed the show. Noey sms'ed me to inform me about the show. When I turned on the TV, it was Fitri with his fashion.

Again, the repeat on Saturday, Noey sms'ed me but I was in Donggongon having breakfast :) What a bad luck.

Fortunately, dBos had it videoed. Thanks dB for making my day. So to those of you who missed this show click dBos-fm. Enjoy!

Saya orang Sabah tapi kenapa saya posting pasal kejayaan budak dari Kedah dalam sukan Squash? Pelik? hehehe


Sebenarnya, artikel di atas telah menarik perhatian saya kerana salah seorang budak yang bermain cemerlang iaitu Aika Azman, adalah anak kepada seorang kawan saya, Puan Anis Haniza yang berasal dari Kedah. Anak-anak beliau cemerlang dalam sukan Squash. Malah semua anaknya berkecimpung dalam sukan ini. Apa yang penting, kawan saya ini adalah seorang ibu yang cekal dan sabar menemani anak-anaknya yang sering bermain Squash di seluruh negeri. Beliau sanggup mengambil cuti beberapa hari untuk menghantar anak-anaknya sambil memberi semangat kepada mereka.

Mereka ini adalah pelapis kepada Pemain Squash Nombor 1 di Dunia iaitu Datuk Nicole David yang berasal dari Pulau Pinang. Dari Sabah bila lagi?

Semoga anak-anak Puan Anis kekalkan prestasi cemerlang dan sentiasa berjaya!


ps. will blog on American Idol 8 soon.....

Alexis Cohen in the house :)
she never gives up
she came again this year to try her luck
BUT
she is still OFF KEY!
I think, her main reason to go for the audition is
to be
POPULAR!


there's a girl in Puerto Rico
I didn't get her name and I couldn't find her pics in Idol
she is 16 years old
she came with her little brother
Randy and Kara dismissed her
but Paula and Simon
gave her another chance
I like this girl!

Let's find out how she did in Hollywood!


"Hello...good evening everybody"
that was Nadal's first line during his acceptance speech

Rafa
beats
Roger Federer
7-5, 3-6, 7-6, 3-6, 6-2

to claim
The Australian Open Championship

congrats to you RAFA!

meanwhile


RF was in tears. He said he was too emotional. Maybe he was so disappointed he didn't make history! Rafa comforted him by saying, he still has chances to claim his 14th grand slams and wishes him good luck. That should be the way, Melbourne is not the end. There is still French, Wimbledon and USA open.

Serena Williams back to World No. 1 rank
after beating Dinara Safina 6-0, 6-3
in Women's Single Final

Twins, Bob and Mike Bryan of the USA
claimed the Men's Doubles title

Mixed Doubles title belongs to
Sania Mirza & Mahesh Bhupati of India

The Williams sister with their trophy
they won the Women's Doubles title


After showing a quality tennis game
during the semi-finals against Fernando Verdasco
Rafael Nadal of Spain
will now face
Roger Federer of Switzerland
in the
Men's Single Final

The best man will win!
