Did i ever tell you that i love mornings. Early mornings, when the sky is still dark, not the late ones. I woke up one morning, my father's alarm clock was ringing, thought there was some sort of a fire drill. Anyways, i couldn't get back to sleep after that.



Unable to sleep, i went for a jog. Considering my last 2.4km jog took me out with injuries for two days, it wasn't the wisest thing to do.



Yesterday's singapore idol is a complete floop, in my personal opinion. Trust singapore to do something and overdo it. five judges was hardly neccessary. All the other idol shows i've seen used only three, and three was good enough.



No doubt that william hung's fame has inspired, and many went for the auditions in a bid to enter the entertainment/stardom industry following hung's footsteps. But hung did not enter stardom (stardom?) by being unoriginal. Telling the national audience, "I was hoping to become the singapore version of william hung" doesn't buy you instant fame. As the saying goes, followers of the fool is a greater fool.



I am in no way saying william hung is a fool. he is a genius. i believe he knew where he was going when he stepped up for the american idol auditions. music, idol shows, they are just another money making business. hung was intelligent enough to recognise the profits on the other end of the "common idol" spectrum.



For the guys in sg who fall into the shadow of william hung, how controversial did they think asian society can be? did they truly think that the producers were going to burn a cd for them for bad music and bad dancing, when the first idol hadn't been found yet? or would they think that the william hung version.sg is not gonna be competitive enough against the oringinal hung? *sigh* make money not dream about it, duh.



Singapore idol is just another show in the bandit's hall of shame.
