Muzik-Muzik Separuh Akhir

Wanted to upload this earlier, but tak larat sebenarnya. So here it is. Semalam gi separuh akhir pertama Muzik-Muzik di Sri Pentas 2, Plaza Alam Sentral di Shah Alam.

Tahun ni sebab takde kategori, it's supposed to be harder competition, tapi sebenarnya tuk aku, pecahan separuh akhir lak kali ni, at least for the first semifinal ni, tak begitu sengit. Leh tangkap da sapa akan mampu layak.

Ni lagu-lagu yang bertanding malam semalam.

Disebabkan judging kali ni berdasarkan 30% markah dari persembahan secara langsung dan baki 70% daripada pemarkahan yang dilakukan sebelum, atas penilaian lagu from every aspect termasuk composition and lyrics, I already had my choices.

And after tiap persembahan, it was proven that my predictions menjadi la gak.

I wanted Mirage by Pesawat in, and I thought they deserved to be in. Entah haper yang juri pikirkan as this was one of the fresher sounds in the semifinal this time. On top of that, Pesawat has an appeal to them ramai tak berpeluang nak hear lagik. But knowing some other songs would get be focused on, based on whatever merits memang peluang meka kureng la sikit.

So walaopon semalam diumumkan, Raja Gelek, Kau Aku, Dan Sebenarnya, Tak Mungkin Kerna Sayang and Aku Skandal... ni cuma lagu lagu yang lima teratas berdasarkan pemarkahan as of yesterday. Seperti mana lima teratas ni tak janji masuk Anugerah Juara Lagu, gitu gak peluang bagi lagu lagu lain masih terbuka.

I already had a feeling that Mirage wouldn't make it. In the top five that is...

In fact aku da agak da kelima lagu teratas berdasarkan beberapa faktor.

Contoh, Aku Skandal dan Dan Sebenarnya. Undoubtedly the favorites of the night and rightly so memang layak, so takyah la nak cakap lagu-lagu ni membawa halatuju bawa dalam pop rock muzik tempatan. Tu kita semua pon da tau. Kau Aku pon was a confirmed choice for me to be in the top, sebab memang Aizat's maturity is songwriting is because he has not stuck to several conventions of market demands, unlike the jaded ones in the business who think sounding fresh - is something eccentric, pulling too much from other influences that simply don't gel, not works.

With three from these batch of youngsters, Pesawat had an uphill battle. Biasala. Judging bukan je wat dari kriteria-kriteria yang dikatakan. At the back of the minds of the producers, they have to think production wise gak. Kena la variety... konon la...

Tak Mungkin Kerna Sayang sebenarnya for me, aku letak dalam kategori sama dengan Bertemu Di Kalbu. Lagu yang bosan dan sebenarnya skema, kalao release 10 tahun lepas pon sama jerk. Nothing new... and boring as hell.

Tapi dua lagu ni, diberikan nafas kerana persemabahan penyanyi yang membawa kedua lagu ni, which is Alyah and Jaclyn Victor. Good for Alyah dapat lagu solo tuk peluang nak masuk bertanding Anugerah Juara Lagu. I think she deserves it walaopon aku rasa lagu tuh very the nan hado. As for Jac, semalam persemabahan dia menampakkan kematangan, a maturity which I've never seen before. There was an emotional connection to the song, without her resorting to merely just blowing everyone away with her powerful vocals. Hopefully... she gets it too.

And Raja Gelek? I think seriously this one memang buang masa. Stuck in the 90s, and predictable attempt to mash-up the sounds to make it sound localised and all. Maybe some like it, but I don't. Still, dah agak memang akan dapat top 5 pon.. so no surprise.

I kind of like the fact that One Nation Emcees appear more polished now than before, but still there's an amateurish air to their performance. Props to them though for trying... effort should always be applauded.

Unlike Mila malam semalam. Hancus... and nothing redeeming about her performance whatsoever. Still, both these names just didn't look like they deserved to be there as they would appear more at home kat Hari Penyampaian Hadiah skoleh menengah mana ntah.

Can't wait for next week, because I think there's going to be some serious competition then, plus on top of that, nak gak tengok carta, how lagu-lagu minggu ni stack up again next week's scoring.

I hope ada la surprise element sikit in the judging (for the better) cause being predictable takes the fun out of competition.

Apapon, ni some pics sempat snap smalam. The first batch ni masa baru sampai. Sapa yang serempak aku snap jer.

Sampai saat akhir, Cheryl the perfectionist touch up skrip


Nadia getting ready


Alyah pon tengah touch up


This next batch masa lepas pengumuman sapa top five for the night...





Masa semua orang tengah celebrate (nak raikan apa...masuk top five atau tidak tak menjanjikan agik masuk Anugerah Juara Lagu ma), aku gi borak ngan Jac kejap. So impressed with her performance. Not because of her usual power, but there was something a little extra malam tu.



Then it was back to the top five photo op session.





Because this is a song competition, of course lain la criteria, tapi kalao ikutkan performance wise, my ideal performers to have made it through (if kalao bukan top 5 je la) would have been Aku Skandal (Hujan), Dan Sebenarnya (Yuna), Kau Aku (Aizat) and Mirage (Pesawat). And either Alyah or Jac for those diva power vocals.

Tapi result lom tentu agik. Lagikpon, every year Anugerah Juara Lagu tiap tahun pun mesti ada yang very the mistake layak tuk bertanding. Heh! Korang ingat tak ada Aiman yang costume bagai? Aiyo... sesuatuh!

Anyway, spent some time talking to Yuna and Aizat, as well as hey hey ngan bebudak Pesawat.

First time borak ngan Yuna.. I like her


Aizat... ehem.. mana dia (matilah aku)


Pesawat rocks!


Can't wait for next week. Meanwhile, I'll leave you guys with Jac's performance. Walaopon lagu aku terbayang cam lagu recycle Ziana Zain yang patut kuar sometime awal 90an, but Jac did amazing. Kalao ada award best performance of the night, it would undoubtedly go to her.

Shout!

Damn! I slept at only 6am this morning, and bangun kol 5 petang! Amik ko! Sebelas jam hibernasi!

Semalam gi Shout!. Erm... it was ok. Too loud - and no, I'm not too old. I've been to all the MTV Awards (except the last one) and survived concerts like Avril and Slipknot, and even Westlife, so I doubt I'm past screaming crowds or audio systems pumping inhuman levels of sound.

But ada je yag tak kena. It was good, and also bad. How do you describe it... Just definitely not worth having to go through the jam with the Manchester United training going on next door.




It's like a great performance for Jac, baru nak emo in rememberance of Michael, and then you had Reefa bounce out disrupting the whole feel of things. Like... WTF???!!!

It was like everyone buying into the hype of Bunkface (respect to them - idop budak Klang... orang kampung aku tuh!) but turning zombified masa Estranged put on one of the best performances of the night.

Basically - a potentially good event, but riddled with many WTF moments.

Pesawat were the real hit of the night, but kenapa la ada orang lonjat lonjat jerit jerit sebelom tuh. Tak perlu sangat!

Tak bother sangat. In fact, caught the show, while spending a lot of time with Gaya, Afdlin and Mamat Khalid and their wives apart from other friends who were left blurred out by a lot of what went on that night.

In fact had more fun when Upin and Ipin menang award... boleh? One of the highlights for sure?



Sean Kingston? Overrated, oversweaty, overmiming and just plain overweight. Period. Nyanyi pon tak setakat YEAHHH YEAHHH and uhmmm... and one or two more lines on top of the CD. Bosan nak mampos! So much for the closing act.

Sapa agik yang ok ek. The performers worthy of a mention were Bunkface, Nikki (though Shila was a WTF moment), One Buck Short, Joe Flizzow.. and a few more. Caprice and a few others would do good to learn how not to just randomly shout into a mic. Oh well...

The crowd? Let's not even go there.

Layan je la pics. By the way, if you guys dulu ada baca pasal these Chanel gun heels I so loved (and convinced Faz to get them, here she is wearing them to the first public event in Malaysia they've been seen in. Don't know if she's the first person in the country to have these shoes, but berani cakap she is the first to have them in all three colours, epecially these black and whites.

Heel-ing power


Ngan adik dia Jojo.

Aku bangga kata dia the first int he country to wear these black and white Lagerfeld creations. READ HERE n my posting in January masa aku naik gila pasal kasut nih. And here's Madonna wearing her end of last year.



By the way, the ones Faz are wearing are the limited edition ones, unlike the more common black and silver versions.

Ok, now on to the rest of the pics.

The Chong family - no Vince but with younger bro


Datuk Sheila Majid


Yellow fever! Nikki after performance


Hot chicks Faz and Marsha


The Pesawat boys were so in demand last night - motif AirAsia punya topi? Part time job ke sebenarnya? Matilah!



Cheryl looking sweet


Shidi bak beg tuh sesuatuh sangat!


Sebenarnya pegang beg bini tuh


Joe's got Flava


The Estranged family


And the last picture I have is this. When you take a look at it, just tell me, what the hell is wrong with this picture??!!!



Yes, that's Jehan. In a hat that defies all logic or reason for being worn. Doubt his bad hair day could have been that bad sampai pakai camtuh.

Oh well... ok la... nak sambung hibernasi. Flu getting better now...


PS - Thanks Muckcheek @ Yasmin for the serunding. Sweetest birthday present I've had in a longtime. Tak penah orang Poslaju aku serunding within a day before. And the card from you and the rest of the family was such a beautiful thought too. Hugs to all of you for it!

PPS - Dapat berita dari Syuib on the World Championship of Performing Arts in Los Angeles. Malaysians masih teruskan saingan dalam final. Dilla, Wilson and Iza made it to the finals of all the modelling categories, while Artistana Group made it to the finals of the dance category.

In vocals, Bob, Sarah Raisuddin, Hasmidar made it into one solo, and two duet categories for the finals. More info as news comes in. Malaysia boleh! KEPITA boleh! Heh!

Anugerah Juara Lagu 23

First of all, aku nak ucapkan tahniah kat TV3. Hah... bukan senang tau aku nak pujian melambung nih. Bukan aku ada kontrak apa kat TV3 nak puji puji kosong nih... but CONGRATULATIONS to TV3, the production team of Anugerah Juara Lagu 23.



You know why I wish congrats to them? Because the 23rd year of Anugerah Juara Lagu, menyaksikan THE BEST show in the history of the series. Bukan cakap je... memang dari start sampai habis, kurang sangat benda aku nak carut, no matter how I try.

From the opening act of stomping and stepping by the combination of dance crews, including Floor Fever (the best in the business), sampai ke penghujung rancangan ketika Meet Uncle Hussain meraikan kemenangan mereka dengan perform for the second time tadik... memang the whole show meletup!

The only thing I found even the most disturbing - was the wonderful performance bebudak kecik tuh ngan Jac, M. Nasir dan Jamal. I loved the show - don't get me wrong. Just I think problem sangat mengalakkan bebudak kecik yang nak berkecimpung dalam dunia hiburan kita ni menjadi klon. And also cam asik asik moka lama like Jamal gak wat show ngan lagu sama. Sifu Nasir no komen - he is a legend ya amats already.

And stakat persembahan sampah yang nan ado dari Aiman tuh - takleh carut sebab da layak dalam kategori yang hidup segan mati tak mau gituh.

Camera angles were ugly occasionally, especially when it came to choreography, but technically the lighting folks and the people responsible for bringing in the gorgeous screens mounted everywhere should be applauded.

And even though I think the combination of Cheryl, Ally dan Faizal pelik sikit - but they didn't do too bad sebab skrip tak draggy and they managed to pull it off without sending even the bitchiest of them - like me, to sleep. Heard the script was jointly written by themselves... so tahniah guys sebab manage to pull it off well.

Lain dari the very minor grouses, the show, would have been a God send for any producer.

And of course I'm sure korang da tau the results by now.
Etnik Kreatif : Persoalan Cinta (Etnik Kreatif/Farawahida/Julfekar dan Ku Seman Izza Rosley)
Balada : Sampai Syurga (Balada/Faizal Tahir/Audi Mok/Faizal Tahir)
Pop Rock : Lagu Untukmu (Pop Rock/Meet Uncle Hussain/Taja dan Tass/Taja, Tass dan Lan)
Vokal Terbaik : Sampai Syurga (Faizal Tahir)
Persembahan Terbaik : Sampai Syurga (Faizal Tahir)
Juara Lagu : Lagu Untukmu (Pop Rock/Meet Uncle Hussain/Taja dan Tass/Taja, Tass dan Lan)

Do I agree with the results? No. Am I dissatisfied? No.

Kalao ikutkan, memang not my choice, but takde la jauh lari sangat pun dari apa aku jangkakan so ok jerk results. Leh la aku tima.

Etnik Kreatif memang kelakar sebab memang tuk ramai orang, Doa Dalam Lagu was the strongest in a group of weakass tunes. But whatever la...

Balada memang produce results as everyone expected with Sampai Syurga menang.

Dalam kategori Pop Rock, it was like I said a tough fight, depending on how the judges voted, I said it would either be Lagu Untukmu or Yang Pernah. A more hip current trend would be Meet Uncle Hussain's choice and the judges went with it but I have no problems with their decision. A little surprised, but still, asalkan antara mereka aku leh tima sebab both are bands yang responsible for their own songs, so ok jerk. Good for the local music industry yang tak harapkan komposer dan penulis lirik jerk. Wat keja sendiri, main sendiri (tak harap sessionists masa recording) dan mempunyai showmanship yang tip top.

It was a tough fight for the Juara Lagu title, but again I didn't mind Meet Uncle Hussain winning sebab they had a strong tune too as I said.

Bab Persembahan Terbaik, aku ada ramalkan Faizal may win for Sampai Syurga. But honestly, kalao ikutkan aku kan... aku rasa show Meet Uncle Hussain was more deserving. And dare I mention Estranged yang memang besh gila... cuma sayang something sounded wrong with their performance sikit.

Bab Vokal Terbaik lak aku memang bayangkan lebih sesuai tuk Aizat julang trofi sebab walaopon lagu dia bukan yang type nak memekik melolong with a more relaxed pace, it was a moving tune, which was sung beautifully by someone who was able to bring out the emotions of the song so well. Still, Faizal was great for Sampai Syurga so no complaints gak.

So pemenang korang semua da tau. Like they always say, everyone's a winner for just being there. So nak make it true, ni aku nak bagik anugerah sendiri pada semua performers. Matilah nak gak carut kan,...

Bukan Di Sini (Sofaz)
Aku nak bagik meka, Best Boyband With Credibility To Rock award. Aremeer banyak improved on his vocals and the band's showmanship is getting better, Kalao dulu la.. penah meka dibandingkan ngan New Boyz (matilah), skang meka appear so much more mature in every aspect. Rock on!

Lagu Kita (Aizat)
Aizat deserves a I Can Move You To Tears award for his moving number which was delivered equally beautifully. *sniff* Need I say more?



Dusta Berkalang (Aiman)
Perghhh... si Aiman ni memang layak patut menang banyak award. Konsep persembahan dia.. Aiman tak kisah... walaopon orang nak carut persembahan sarkas ke, versi muzikal Zombi Kampung Pisang ke... tetap dia wat ngan kostum ala ular kuar bahu, Firaun versi auwwwwww... backed by dancers yang nampak tripping on acid sangat.
Tapi rasanya anugerah paling besar aku bagik kat dia is the I'm A Bad Reincarnation of Noraniza Idris In Drag award. Matilah aku....
Also worth mentioning is the subsidiary Loyal Customer Award dari Kamdar for the costume of his penari. This award skali ngan anugerah Penyewa Kostum Paling Banyak Bulan Januari Mak Ayam Dicky.

Cuba (Faizal Tahir)
For lagu Cuba, Faizal gets the damn I Want Your RM17,000 Guitar Even Though I Am Not Musically Inclined award. Semerdu nyanyian Faizal, and as much as I love this song, my eyes were on his new guitar just bawak masuk dari luar negara. Makan hati!!!



Yang Pernah (Estranged)
Walaopon balik tangan kosong, aku hadiahkan anugerah Most Original And Very Interesting Gimmick Onstage for their use of screens which simultaneously dropped. Live music video feel gituh. They also share the Mangsa Cameraman Ngantuk/Studio Director Butakah? award for the bad angles which didn't show this on TV. They also win the Dodgiest Sound Levels award because the guitars were just overpowering everything.



Bila Nak Saksi (Spider)
Spider did well. Aku malas nak berulang lagu ni tak kuat and Mabuk should have made it instead. So I'll focus on Tony yang makeup konsep (mengikut tuan badan ye) Twilight, tapi instead menang anugerah Mata Panda Paling Menonjol. Heh... ampun Tony. Takde benda nak carut makeup ko pon jadik ler.

Doa Dalam Lagu (Zahid dan Heliza)
Pemenang anugerah kategori Korang Masih Bernafas Ke? kerana berjaya menjadikan satu stadium extra sekuel abang Mamat Khalid Zombi Kampung Pisang 2 Aiman was bad enough to keep everyone awake. But Doa Dalam Lagu surprisingly and very unexpectedly was cliched enough to be bad enough to send people to sleep. And what's wrong with the attire of the dancers???

Sampai Syurga (Faizal Tahir)
Like Estranged, Faizal is a co-winner of the Mangsa Cameraman Ngantuk/Studio Director Butakah? award. Hanjeng sangat tau. Susah susah orang tuh bawak kipas bagai nak efek rambut ditiup angin menggerbang ala iklan Sunsilk, ni kat TV nan ado nampak sangat.
But main award aku bagik is the Berani Mati Korbankan Rambut Walaupun Tak Sengaja award. mana taknya. Alkisahnya, cita si stylist yang pose potong rambut dia, leh terlebih happy happy joy joy ting tong lak, leh terpotong rambut betul betul (patutnya light light je dan extensions jerk) sampai tahap rambut Faizal belakang jadik bob sikit. Heh!!!



Hanya Di Mercu (Ayu)
Memenangi I Should Fire My Stylist award kerana rupanya teah mengundang pelbagai carutan. Kesian tau... dak ni sora sedap walaopon lagu recycle semacam je bunyi. Ni nak imej baru bantu dia, jadik mangsa kutukan semalaman je.
Make up da la hazab. Baju lak tengah tuh, itam punya ruffles ke apa cam bulu tak shave lak terkuar celah. Sesuai ngan asap bagai cam toxic fumes emanating from the nether regions gituh.
Help this girl. She's also the winner of the SOS Style award. Someone give her a REAL makeover NOW!

Aku Stacy (Stacy)
Stacy takes home the Best Dance Break award and the subsidiary Makan Hati Korang Stamina Aku Vast Tak Semput Pun Walaupun Nari Aktif Bagai. Selain tu, dia juga membawa pulang gelaran yang dikongsi bersama ngan Estranged dan Faizal tuk Mangsa Cameraman Ngantuk/Studio Director Butakah? bila dance break yang choreography meletop tu ntah haper haper angle yang ditunjukkan kat TV.
The song may not have been strong but Stacy ha amazing stamina, that much you have to give her.



Dingin (Ziana Zain)
Who doesn't love Ziana?
Unfortunatey, I have to give the diva the My Dress Was Made Out Of Cupcake Liners award because the sleeves were so disturbing. It was a little old hat, and kak Ziana, despite her amazing performance also got the Semangat Abih Sampai Hampir Hilang Balance award sebab memang all out, sampai ada one part aku tengok she almost lost her balance.
Good show though kak.

Kalis Rindu (Elyana)
Elyana gets the I Was Inspired By A Drag Queen/Christina Aguilera/Gwen Stefani/Fergie Performance award for her cute show.
Aku suka sangat tengok show dia, bersahaja dan selamba. And even though I'm not an Elyana fan, I have to give her thumbs up for her effort. Plus she looked cute in that dress, walaopon aku rasa cam dia smakin membulat sikit.
Takpe.. janji meletop kan...

Persoalan Cinta (Farawahida)
Erm... I never thought much of this song, and it was amusing to see the 'interesting' performance.
It was a good effort though despite the song being weak, and Farawahida gets the I Think I'll Celeberate Chinese New Year Early and the Guess If I Look Like A Chinese Empress Or Dead Vengeful Bride Cum Vampire awards.

Lagu Untukmu (Meet Uncle Hussain)
Wow! Without any doubt they get the Damn You Got Me Headbanging Now Everyone's Staring At Me Like I'm Weird title. Semangat gila!!!! Yeah yeah rock rock!



See told you guys. Aku tak leh carot langsung show tahun ni. Ringan ringan jerk la. Apapon, ni some pictures I snapped. Tak banyak sebab having such a good time leh slip my mind lak.
So from the red carpet jalan ngan Faz, sampai abih post party, here are some shots.

Oh by the way, esok ada some nice pics. Of what? Tunggu!

Yang pernah...

Phew... damn tired Just back from supper at Syad and Aishah's place. Sebenarnya ada belated birthday do for Marsha sana tapi aku tak sempat join, just caught Zarina and Bob and Syuib lepak sana je.

Memang couldn't make it earlier sebab tadik lepak Sri Pentas 2 for the full dress rehearsal of the Pop Rock semifinals tuk Muzik-Muzik besok.

Dapat ler legakan fikiran. Music always soothes me... especially good stuff. And since ada some acts performing some very nice tunes, loga la sikit den.

Aku malas nak cita lelebih so just enjoy some of the pics I snapped. Of course most of them before, during (backstage and about) as well as after the rehearsal. I focused mostly on people who are my friends, so sorry kalao korang ada favourites aku tak sempat snap, either because I'm not close to them, or don't really care for them too much.

Lagi satu kalao korang perasan, I try and snap people on rotation basis. Kalao moka sama je pon bosan kan? Bazir bandwidth korang je kang nak download moka-moka sama. Heh... on to the pics!

The strong people you don't see. The PRs and production crew led by mother chicken kak Kelly)

Of course, I also have videos, tapi I will post them in my next entry sebab tengah edit and upload.

Meanwhile ni some additional info and gossip yang related or totally unrelated to Muzik-Muzik and anything remotely connected.

-Velvet is in Sabah dan dia tak ikut Rich ke KL untuk semifinal Muzik-Muzik. Selesai saja malam ni, Rich akan balik ke Sabah and the couple plan to spend their time together. Baru kahwin camtuh la...

- Estranged is the only band yang bukan saja vocal live, tapi muzik pun live. Ni sebab meka takde minus one tu lagu meka, and they will rock the house.

- Because of the live set-up, meka tukar slot ngan Flava yang menggantikan The Lima (refer pada previous entry for rundown) and will open the show tonight. Ni tuk senangkan mengalihkan dan mempersiapkan amps, and the whole set-up of what they need to perform live.

- Shah dikatakan withdraw lagu Ku Merindu because Ella ada engagement lain and dia tanak penyanyi ganti sebab kisahnya, lagu tu memang dia bajet tuk Ella je. Hence kemasukan lagu Sofaz (refer pada previous entry for full list of lagu lagu yang akan dipersembahkan)

- TV3 is said to be not too happy with Mawi. And mungkin peminat pun akan upset to hear Mawi will NOT be performing for the Anugerah Juara Lagu dalam lagu dia berganding dengan Heliza dalam Doa Dalam Lagu. Ni kisahnya sebab dia akan berada di Korea ketika Anugerah Juara Lagu. Tuh la... masukkan lagu, pastu tanak block date lak. Hish... orang nak kahwin...

- Pengganti Mawi kisahnya akan ditentukan kemudian, but kalao ikutkan, dengar cerita TV3 nak Bob tuk gantikan Mawi. Ajai, selaku penulis lagu dikatakan juga inginkan Bob sebagai pengganti untuk nyanyi in place of Mawi.

Ok... the videos and a little surprise in my next entry. Wait for it...
