The REAL Competition Starts Tomorrow …

… for “One In A Million”. The excitement only starts tomorrow now that we are down to the top 12 finalists. WHO WILL WIN? This is the one million Ringgit question.

My bet is on Suki. Although to be honest, I don’t think she is any more outstanding than the other finalists, I am putting my money on her age, fresh faced looks and whatever talent she has. Paul Moss and Shafinaz like her, so there must be something in her.

And there’s only one Chinese against eleven Malays and no Indians (what a pity) in this group of finalists. And this will benefit Suki, since her generous Chinese fan-base will be united and there won’t be split votes, as shown in the Wild Card show a fortnight ago.

I thought Siti’s sister would bag the wild card slot based on SMS votes, since Siti and her fiance are so rich, they can easily bomb the girl’s SMS lines, but that was not the case.

I personally liked Cindy. I think she has the looks of a *star* but it irritates me when she taps her fingers against the microphone when she performs. Maybe it’s due to nervousness or lack of confidence. I dunno ………..

Anyway, she didn’t make it to the Top 12. However, she said she’ll still be coming out with an album soon so let’s wish her the best of luck in her career. “One In A Million” or not, life goes on.

Apart from Suki, the other contestant whom I think has potential is Faizal Tahir. I think he’s got the looks too *ahem* and he’s got the rough edge rock style and any rock song he sings will suit him to a T. His rock style is way better than Rocker Kampung anytime. There’s a vast difference between Rocker Kampung and Rocker City and gimme Rocker City anytime hehehe

One other contestant who could easily bag the prize is Dayang, and if she does, no one would be surprised.

In “One In A Million”, we can vote for a contestant to be In or Out. I’m not sure if this strategy of 8tv will back-fire. I mean, let’s face it, we are not that affluent as we once were during Malaysian Idol 1 & 2.

In any case, all questions will be answered by September. Meanwhile, let’s bring out the popcorn, sit back, relax and be entertained.

Take A Ride

So Zizou and I came up with plans on creating our own video episodes of our late night encounters as we go around places. Proper outline of it has not been laid down yet in black and white but it would consist of us having conversations about various things such as daily ongoings or even deep stuff like philosophical things if it is not too heavy for Zizou hehe. Currently the name I came up for this “segment” is ‘Riding With The Zizou’. However that title depends has to really depend on well Zizou himself to be available for shootings whenever. That might be too demanding of him… So we should come up with a title less character dependent, probably keywords that imply late night activities, driving around and walking around. Of course it would not be entirely restricted to those three keywords. But hey, night time is when we’re active.

Hopefully we could get guests to star in our videos. The length of each episode has not been determined yet. Having said all that, I am still saving up for a DV camera. I have tasted the splendors of video recording from one of the subjects I took while doing my degree. I guess I could say it is my new found hobby/talent/passion. A side aspiration of mine… one day hope to be a bit known in the world of media for my different style of work. Hopefully I get the support and encouragement from people yeah!

I’d like the videos to be down to earth and realistic as possible, as oppose to some people’s work where there is heavy loads of pretentious and annoying acts trying so hard to be cool.
