Anyway....selain dari pengumuman Akademi Fantasia IV, ABBB berehat wat satu posting tuk mini review Puteri Gunung Ledang - The Musical aku selepas media preview semalam yang aku gi ngan my guardian angel, the manifestation of my evil side, the overexcited pom pom girl, the brooding writer, the housemate of evil (ni takde blog)...and a couple of their mates, which sorry yer guys...tak ingat semua nama...pening kalao nak recall.
Dahler the musical was nothing to scream about kan....I am not exactly this avid theatre-goer but I have watched quite a few musicals, and it's safe to suffice that my observations were very fair evaluations that are unbiased.I met the guys at the entrace just about 7.30pm, dan selepas sorang-sorang da mula sampai, we filed masuk dewan, berdebar ni....confident we were about to witness this grand spectacle.
And boy...was I disappointed.
Aku expectation takder ler tinggi sangat...after all sedangkan the movie pun aku tak larat nak tengok habis because it just didn't hold me...what more the musical ler punya fate.
Tapi ala ala grand opening scene dia...in the sense that it prepared me for a grand spectacle. The moment the curtains were raised...I was all hyped over what the night's performance was going to be like.
Tapi the first few opening scenes...aku da squirming sikit. The songs were kinda familiar and sounded like a million and one other things I've previously heard before. And checking the program, only then I realised Dick Lee was responsible for composing the songs. Hence the typical fare ler...
Takpe...tahan agi. Brace myself for the scene Stephen Rahman Hughes kuar...ye laa...nak tengok ler hero Melayu punya character camna. Dia bukak mulot je (sorry, tapi aku tak penah tengok dia nya performance sbeelum ni, let alone jumpa) aku tergelak. Lidah pendek lak...he speaks with a lisp...which is quite pronounced more often that not, spoiling the character.
It was like watching Daffy Duck in the lead role!
And it got worse...clear sangat ler mamat ni fail bab bahasa Melayu...sebab asik tersasul...and while pronounciation was ok, he really ada masaalah ngan penghayatan. It was as if dia hafal the whole script phonetically...dan tak paham haram sepatah pon yang diucapkan. Forget the charisma...the romance...Hang Tuah was a cold....dead...fish!
And then...it just took a big dip from there, sebab everything about the musical just turned me off.
Lighting was only decent at best, the set was bagus gila...or could have been...if they hadn't decided to overuse it in every other scene while the istana Melaka backdrop which was really grand muncul kejap je (really stupid!). The technical side was simply loose in execution from every aspect.
While in most musicals the set changes were seamless and smooth (take Chang & Eng for example which utilised every stage mechanism of Istana Budaya), ni tengah masuk scene orang tolak tu sana orang tolak tu sini...I mean, they really should realise it looks messy as hell!
Masa ada satu time meka bentangkan kain, and they were waving it to form ombak...aku yang dok dekat center pun nampak orang yang dok pegang kain at the wings of the stage. So amateurish!
Banyak benda camtu ler...minah backing dancer sorang ni pun sampai tanggal mic pack tergantung kat belakang masa menari ler...sound horrible gila most of the time. This included masa scene Hang Tuah menyanyi, bunyi sampai nak meletop je telinga rasanya!
Time Tiara nak nyanyi tu seb baik ler sempat repair sat by disappearing offstage. Tapi tu pun nampak mamat yang tolong betulkan mic set dia.It was horrendous to think that especially on the media preview night, they could afford so many mistakes. I really had to rely heavily on the subtitles to know what's going on sebab tak dengar habuk pon most of the time dari the muffled sound system.
Lakonan lak...Tiara biasa je. Stephen was fine singing...but sucked at everything else because you just couldn't feel that this was the pahlawan Melayu that is so legendary.
Memang very the Mat Salleh celup kayu yang haram paham sepatah pun sebab very the reciting the Rukunegara.
Adlin sebagai Sultan Melaka was ok....tapi aku blame the lame script on portraying Adlin as a circus act. Aku suka babak dia menyanyi and menari ala ala gadis kabaret, memang kelakar.
Problem is...we are supposed to hate the sultan. He's supposed to be a figure of commanding authority. Instead...I found myself liking his character.
But the surprise...and I have to say this...is AC Mizal yang selama ni memang aku tak gemar! he acted and sang the best of the lot (which is not saying much actually). credit where it's due, aku rasa AC sorang je betul-betul pulled off the character assigned, selain dari Sukania Venugopal as Bayan dan Afif, budak kecik yang memainkan watak putera pada Sultan Melaka.
So should you watch it?
Only if you have the money and patience to spare. If it's your first time for a musical theatre production, you may enjoy it...that and if you're a fan of Tiara ke...Adlin ke...AC ke...Stephen ke....
But seriously...kisah cinta agung tu...didn't do jack for me, as the only emotion I got was to laugh at all the mistakes and listing them down. Sampai Fiebie hit the nail on the head by asking me, "Bila nak nangis ni?!!" out of frustration.
Memang susah ler nak feel anything at all...and emotional involvement is zero.
It's not all too bad seriously, and I agree with the sentiment of most people that it is quite impressive for LOCAL theatre.
Problem is...why do we have to degrade ourselves to feel good? I think that's a common problem with a lot of local products...mana kalau kureng sikit standard je...the consolation is, "ok la tu...for a Malaysian (insert type of product here)".
It's a lame excuse that will never get us further than we are right now. We need to start drawing comparisons with the best to push our efforts further.
So as far as local theatre goes...this can be considered a step...not momentous, but a miniscule pace, which should be improved upon.
Kalau nak baca ulasan lain, try these for size : SultanMuzaffar (daulat Tuanku), Patrick Teoh and Fiebie. These are the most honest reviews though their ratings differ from mine.
Will be adding more soon if I find any worth reading.
Meanwhile...don't trust everything else you read proclaiming it as great - after all...isn't that what they said about the movie?
Ye...
Kehangatan dah mula dirasakan...dan ramai mesti tertanya-tanya apa kah siri baru yang diperkenalkan ni.
So Konsert Prelude akan bagi intro into what this whole siri realiti yang baru ni about... and menceritakan mengenai perangai dua ekor binatang berupa manusia sebagai pengenalan bagi mereka yang tak kenal dan motif siri ini.
Sudah tentunya I have to do that...sebab walaupon lembu perasan betina ni tapi berloceng dua ekor ni tak glamer pun...perasan je diri sendiri star sangat.
Dunia blogging semestinya dipenuhi ngan bangsa langau...a term used to describe idiots who hide behind the anonymity, sambil syok sendiri declaring themselves to be everything they're not in an attempt to validate their pathetic existence.
Well...dalam dunia kaum ketiga (bahasa sopan)....dua peserta kami ni memang tak asing lagik sebab takde ler orang (da sah bukan manusia...so memang takder ler orang) seperti mereka.
Yang berkenaan, yang tak bersalah, yang senyap....semua akan menjadi mangsa mereka.
Cara modus operandi haiwan liar dua ekor ni adalah untuk mengeji sesama kengkawan, more often than not menghina orang untuk merasakan diri mereka ni adalah penting sangat.
Padahal, one wanks at home sebab no social life, while the other tries oh so hard to have some semblance of a woman tapi ya ampun...itam satu hal...shading pon takleh bantu muka!
While dulu Internet ni membolehkan orang berselindung disebalik identiti...kini teknologi pelbagai telah membenarkan kita merisik ala CSI untuk pinpoint...binatang manakah yang sibuk mencarut orang...
So wujudnya bangsat puaka Imah dan anak buangan yang dikutip tepi Sungai Klang (kilometer ke lapan, belakang semak) yang bernama Nory ni...memang telah lama memberikan seribu satu masaalah yang membelenggu dunia blogging PLU dimana mereka bermaharajalela, systematically cari gaduh ngan one blogger at a time.
The operate ngan ganging up on one person, and kononnya bertopengkan sincerity, attempt nak get people on their side. Meanwhile, nothing is sacred...and everything is open to being bitched about.
Anyway...beberapa hari lepas...ilham untuk production ABBB datang daripada carutan dua babi liar ni terhadap aku tak pasal-pasal. Alasannya? Sebab rasakan they could take me on too.
Well...big mistake.
Carutan tu dari dalam sebuah tagboard dalam sebuah blog yang baru-baru ni aku sebut. Tapi yang datang ke perhatian saya melalui kengkawan dari the blogging community yang mengadu pasal mulot-mulot puaka penjilat bontot khinzir ni.
Buktinya diabadikan dalam blog seseorang yang tidak beridentiti bernama Blogwatcher.
Dalam cut and paste entry Blogwatcher - jelas terbukti betapa lahanatnya binatang dua ekor ni dengan mencarut aku...hanya kerana spekulasi yang melampau diatas kebencian ramai terhadap mereka. Bermacam kutukan yang tak diundang dilemparkan.
Dengan itu...timbullah idea....
Let's see who's up for a good bitch fight.
So....instead of hiding behind an unknown identity....ABBB akan menentukan...just how much of these two hanjengs we can find out.
I never throw off a good challenge...and hanya berbekalkan basic info, penyiasatan da bermula.
Dalam konsert-konsert (konsert pertama da next entry akan datang ni...) coming soon ni..expect information on these two to enlighten you on who they are - seandainya you come across two slags like these...you know how to hunt them down...like they inadvertedly will be...
So pada mereka yang tak faham apa yang berlaku...baca jer laa...layan!!!
Kalao tak entry biasa tetap akan diteruskan gak (malam ni nak gi preview Puteri Gunung Ledang - The Musical) and you guys will still get all the latest info as usual.
Tapi yang pastinya....update ABBB will come fast and furiously.
The series will only end in two ways....full disclosure of their total identities OR the two freaks kneeling before me begging for mercy (which they might just end up doing anyway when this series is over)
So...sebagai penutup Konsert Prelude ABBB yang ala intro ni...mari kita lihat....apa hadiah yang bakal mereka menang hasil penaja bersama kami...kita berjumpa lagi dalam konsert pertama (bersedia for really ugly pictures of how they look like!)!!!
Masyarakat Malaysia memang obsessed with the concept of reality TV, so I thought...what the heck...instead of putting more of my personal life, I definitely don't want to bore you guys who read my blog for now...and put on something yang definitely lebih menarik.
Kicking off today, is a brand new series that will rock the world of blogging!
I call it Akademi Bapok-Bapok Berangan!
Why such a crass name? Lepas ke tapisan Censorship Board? Buruk sangat ke peserta yang akan participate? Berangan sangat ke sampai tahap dewa dewi neraka ke tujuh?
You'll just have to read on and see for yourselves. (tapi be warned...gambar-gambar muka meka yang buruk ni memang shocking!)
You see, I have a very short fuse, and when people piss me off, and disregard warnings not to screw with me...I fight a very clean fight, but I go all out. Or at least as clean as it gets ler. Bila da deal ngan yang bermuka-muka....how do you know which face to bitch slap kan?
So...today, i introduce my new series in my blog - where creative writing meets reality, where Akademi Fantasia meets CSI.
Sebelum apa-apa...ni background sikit pasal ABBB.
Pencarian bermula antara para bloggers yang sedikit sebanyak tak glamer sebab pembaca hanya 24 orang, sampai membuang stats counter kerana malu besar bila terdesak nya nak gelar diri sebagai star tidak dibuktikan dengan hanya blog yang rata-rata hanya dibaca oleh orang yang dikutuknya.
These are irresponsible people yang nak glamer kononnya trying to establish themselves as bloggers yang agung, by bestowing themselves ngan memacam title berangan.
Biasalah...kat Internet, tak perlu nak tunjuk muka pun, leh berangan cantik...padahal rahang senget! Kutuk orang nombor satu...rumah takde cermin ke?Bak kata sorang kawan bloggers, bab rahang ni laa sumpahan paling buruk sekali. Ye laa...hidung besar ke...bibir nipis...leh agik repair.
Kalau rahang da senget tu, jangan feeling leh alter keburukan ko. It's something that Tuhan berikan yang memang for life ler...memang branded ler ko for life! Very the geng syaitan-syaitan dan iblis-iblis lakhnatullah!!! Kalao muka tak elok takpe...tapi bak kata orang...kalau muka da lah burok....perangai pon burok....memang sah burok teramat impak maksima!
Yela...kalau cam yang sorang agi yang itam legam...leh gak proclaim comparison ngan Tyra Banks tuh...haiyo! Sama warna tak bermaksud sama cantik. Tayar lori pun itam. Air longkang belakang rumah pun itam...ekzos bas pun itam! Kalau itam kusut...jangan nak hina-hina orang...perasan seolah ko ni black beauty! Ni pun kaki menghina orang yang takde cermin kat rumah...
So balik soal pemilihan sapa peserta-peserta yang terpilih untuk menerajui musim pertama ABBB akan diumumkan dalam edisi khas Tirai Akademi Bapok Bapok Berangan ni.
Peserta pertama adalah binatang yang memang kaki menghina orang kat blog nya, proclaiming itself (I won't even do the honour of branding the person as human) as a star. Memang kalau blog hoppers PLU sudah kenal pun anak binatang haram ni dengan nama Imah. Menggelar diri professor dengan rahang senget dan mulot jamban kebanggaannya, tapi setakat kalau lecturer tepi longkang, memang tinggi ler cita-citanya perasan educated but knows next to nothing.
Peserta kedua yang dimasukkan dalam ABBB adalah sekoq ungka muka bontot kuali yang perasan dia hebat, tapi lebih teruk dari bangsa Imah, blog pun tarak, tapi menjadi langau kat blog orang lain, masuk rumah tuk mengutuk je keja.
Keja gomen kontrak ada ati nak guna company resource tuk surfing pleasure masa office hours tak sedar diri tau ler kalao ditamatkan employment even before the end of dia punya contract.
Tu laa namanya pondan-pondan tak sedar untung ada gak nak amik keja!
So because these two are so exceptionally khinzir, tapir, cipan, tenuk dan pelbagai lagi array of names yang display kebinatangan terlampau...let's welcome these two anak haram bohsia pencen, bapok tak sedar diri, nak kata jantan pun tak, nak kata betina pun tak layak, tapi perasan memasing supermodels.
Yes, we pick only the extreme examples of pondan-pondan sial yang untuk dijadikan examples of whether they last the duration of this episode yang pasti akan mencungkil bukan bakat (da nama berangan...bakat apa ada...) tapi segala rahsia hidup mereka.
Please take note siri ni kira ala pre-recorded, so sebenarnyta finale dan pelbagai da siap, tapi kena aa ikut waktu tayangan kan...
Dengan bangganya aku lancarkan...logo ABBB!!!
So...mai aku explain konsep siri ni. Setiap episod akan menampilkan fokus pada binatang haram dua ekor ni, dari visual siapakan diri mereka sebenarnya sehingga laa setiap fakta yang dicungkil ala CSI mengenai diri mereka.
Seperti mana, selepas sepuluh minggu, kita da kenal diri mereka, kepuasan dari menghanjengkan binatang dua ekor ni adalah the prize. Not for them but for me, as well as the many bloggers yang had to put up with their crap!
Well...with any luck after this series, the prize for them will be kursus kounseling psikiatri ataupun kursus agama (dalam kebapokan ada hati nak mempersendakan agama sendiri), atau mungkin set rantai gelang besi, serta menjadi covergirl Mastika.
Penghinaan selama sepuluh episod ni akan expose them for who they are apart from their online alter egos yang membanggakan keberanganan kepondanan mereka yang dijulang, where we can get to know everything about them.
Dari nama sebenar, gambar-gambar peribadi mereka, pekerjaan (including designation and exact location) sehinggalah every single financial detail about them (kata kaya sangat - kita tunggu dan lihat!)
Impossible? Ni cuma Tirai je...rilek!!!
So...sementara kami menunggu Akademi Fantasia IV...layan ler ABBB yang sememangnya akan memartabatkan agik dunia carutan bloggers dan langaus yang feeling cantik ni!
Keep checking back for the earth shattering updates.
Bermula episod konsert pertama je, undian akan dibuka disini untuk menentukan sapa paling berangan hanjeng skali! Ikut populariti tau...memandangkan meka nak sangat popular...aku hanjengkan meka sampai naik nama meka yang sememangnya tak glamer cuma feeling perasan je lebih forever syok sendiri!
Juri undangan selebriti juga akan di jemput bagi setiap siri konsert untuk memberikan komen mengenai tahap kegampangan mereka.
Sebelum saya mengundurkan diri, saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada tenaga produksi yang menjayakan siri ni dengan research meka yang amat terperinci skali mengalahkan semua CSI spin-offs yang ada.
To the two participants...queens don't get into a catfight. We just royally bitch slap freaks like you. So kalao tak reti sujud kat kaki aku ala ala Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Ghum dan memohon seribu keampunan untuk memastikan anda dikeluarkan dalam siri ini... merasalah MENGUNDANG MALAPETAKA!
I will expose both of you and who you both really are!
Let the battle begin, bitches!!!
Aku memang malas sikit ler kebelakangan ni nak update.
Mampuslah konon kena calonkan sebagai Bloggers Paling Gigih konon for the Golden Blog Awards anjuran Ginger de la Loca for the local blogging fraternity.
So sebab dapat pencalonan camtuh...erm...nampaknya I have to lah kan...
So here's my update this time around.
Dah pasti ler dengan Anugerah Juara Lagu semalam, I guess I have to ler at least let a little in about how it was kan?
Semalam janji memang ngan kengkawan because I had lotsa of extra tickets, so Muzaffar, abang Badrul, Najmie, Nizam, Zam and me, myself and I gi jumpa kat area opis aku kat Bangsar.
We went in two cars, dan sampai je sana, after checking in, kita gi makan kat coffee house at the Pan Pacific. Abang Badrul belanja (rasa bersalah lak). Habis melantak we made our way back to Dewan Merdeka.
We bumped into Javardkent yang penah jumpa sebelum ni manakala sorang agik anggota Bloggers United, Juan, muncul kemudian (biasalah diva kan kena grand entrance!)
Kat luar da crawling with people da, so we decided to book our seats first, walaupun da reserved section, risau gak kang masuk lambat nak catwalk...last-last dok lantai cam Hits 1. But of course, this isn't an RTM production...so we seated ourselved third row from the front dekat-dekat da tengah.
The first thing that caught my eye was the stage. Adus...bak kata kawan-kawan, cam kain ela tergantung sebagai perhiasan backdrop. There were a million and one things that was all wrong, but malas ler nak cakap sini.
Pada sesapa yang kenal aku da, or has been reading my blog for ages, you know I can't review penuh-penuh kat sini sebab aku write for a living. So please check my other blog - which is my column (kena laa jual mahal skali skala)
In order of performance, ni my evaluation of how they fared.
Semalakama (Pak Ngah/Ce'Kem/Zehra Zambri)
Perlu ke? Seriously?
She exceeded ler my expectations sebab mampu to perform well live vocally as well as in terms of stage command. But the song...haiyo!
Pak Ngah suka wat hal kan buat lagu-lagu standard issue camni.
Terasa cam tengok Siti yang tak lengkap lor. It did nothing for me at all, and aku rasa show dia nothing great.
Kalau nak audition sebagai back up singer or dancer tuk memenuhkan stage kali seterusnya Kak Ani nak wat show ok ler...
The song was crap, and the performance ala kadar je. Kalao AJL 10 tahun lepas, leh ler bagik rating tinggi.
Rating : 
Elegi Sepi (Azlan Abu Hassan/Julfekar/Azharina)
For some reason, lagu ni memang tak memikat aku dari dulu. I never felt this was a strong composition, and lyrically tak challenging. Tapi aku tau memang ramai suka ler lagu ni (habis aku kena carut kawan-kawan sendiri bila kata tak minat)
The performance?
Aku disappointed sikit Nina. Mungkin dia gementar, but she really couldn't hold it together vocally and aku rasa elok lagi dia perform kat Hits 1.
Never had high hopes for this song anyway...
Rating :
Pop Ye Ye (Shahrin Azmi Mohd Shaharudin, Damien Seet, Abdullah Ahmad, Zaf, Cham/Zaf/V.E.)
Aku kecewa teramat ngan V.E.
Going into my final, they were my favourites for Pop Rock, dan aku da bajet ler that they would put up a good fight with Hazami's Katakan.
Tapi ikutkan trend, memang Pop Ye Ye is typical category champion material.
Anyways, takler disappointed sangat they didn't win, but I really feel like their performance really turned me off.
Props gedabak, ngan Vespa pelbagai. But execution - SEDIH!
And please ler...sapa ler back-up dancer yang bulat pakai ijo tu?
Very the salah ok! Not even funny! Rosak tambak rosak agi bila Joe Flizzow's mic tak fungsi lak! Huh! Ilang the impact of the song. Masa semifinal lagi better.
Rating :
Taat (Rosli Md Kasa/Tok Wan/Rohana Jalil)
Aku ingat dalam keghairahan kak Ana nak perform, sampai kuar bila cue Mawi masa nak intro, da menjanjikan a good performance.
It was very theatrical, I'll give her that. Tapi geli aku dibuatnya kerana terasa cam mayat berbalut kain kapan lak menari-nari.
A little too dramatic for a song yang too weak.
Rating :
Awan Yang Terpilu (Lin Li Zhen/Loloq/Ning Baizura)
No matter how anyone looks at it, Awan Yang Terpilu deserved to win something.
Tapi apa nak buat kan...industri menobatkan it as Song Of The Year, while a few people think it doesn't deserve anything.
Apapun, Ning put up a superb performance that was inspiring tro say the least.
It wasn't just me yang bulu roma meremang, atau rasa nak nitis airmata (control macho babe!)...everyone felt it, and you had to be bloody lying to say otherwise.
No matter what the jury says...Awan Yang Terpilu was a winner.
Ning out sikit in tempo at the start, but with just a strings intro, it was forgiveable.
Dengan semua bak rombongan (kecuali Jac), Ning stood out sebab menjiwai lagu bukan dengan rombongan Cik Kiah...but with the simple tools of emotion with her expression and vocals.
Rating :
Tak Tahu (Edry/Edry/Adam)
Busuk ler performance Adam. First of all recycle habis. Koreografi, and gimik kesemuanya la.
Props murahan...vocal tak mantap.
I mean, seriously, the only reason anyone could rate this boy highly was if they wanted to get into his pants, atau like all those hormonal girls in Dewan Merdeka yang tak reti nilai good performance menjerit cam period mencurah tak henti.
It was a performance yang very the Hadiah Penyampaian Hadiah.
Nothing personal against him, but I think he needs to really take a good, long hard look at his performances and tengok apa kelemahannya.
People can put on nice clothes, and whimper out a tune, and pass it off as a pro act.
But let's just say, in this case, he didn't stand a chance. Hopefully he'll do better next time, sebab bakat dia ada...tapi...let's admit it, he's not the best singer around. So he really has to improve and be mkore polished. Ni bukan Akademi Fantasia lagi.
Rating :
Ayuh Juragan (Noraniza Idris/Fedtri Yahya/Noraniza Idris)
Bak nyanyian Ito dan Neves yang sumbang tu, apo nak dikato?
Seriously...it was just standard kak Ani. Lagu tak sekuat Iboq...and performance takde yang luar biasa.
Tambah agi tolak markah bagi penari dia sorang yang menimbulkan kerisauan sebab ala bulldozer ada hati nak lonjat overdose!
Rating :
Wajah (Othman Mohamad/Habsah Hassan/Jaclyn Victor)
I never agreed with this song daripada mula. Horror bila masuk. Anytime Langit ke 7 ke apa lagik elok.
But yesterday night, it was decent, thanks to Jac's vocals.
Kalau bagi orang lain nyanyi - entahla apa hasilnya.
Ni ke evolusi muzik yang dibanggakan?
Rating :
Gaia (Pacai/Pacai & Zainal Abidin/Zainal Abidin)
Patutnya rename je lagu ni Gayah sebab very the che gayah. Ala segala unsur show cabaret ada ni.
Tak caya? Gi tengok performance bebudak kat The Ship.
Dengan ular lah...main api lah...
Gelak sat kerana aksi Wachaa! Zainal, and terdiam sat kerana material seluar baju dia transparent, bila kena lampu dari belakang nampak bentuk segalanya.
Terus pening...perlu ke?
Rating :
Aduh Saliha (M Nasir/Loloq/Mawi)
Ok...ni kena outline bebetul. Kalau tak roboh blog aku jap agik ada y ang protest.
Objectively, Mawi seriously has improved vocally. Stable, and quite confident in his delivery, memang banyak lah improvement dia.
UNFORTUNATELY, setakat dok terpaku setempat kerana teragak-agak is not exactly good showmanship. Dia masih teragak-agak bab pergerakan ni, and it's obvious his control of the stage has to be choreographed. Ada yang bising pasal tak dapat tengok dia gelek kat TV, but serious, kalau Zehra, Adam dan sebagainya menari takde orang puji...apa lagi la setakat step Mawi.
Still...it was a watchable performance sebab Aduh Saliha is a good song.
Best performance? Rationally...you know the answer...
Rating :
Gemilang (Aubrey Suwito/Asmin Mudin/Jaclyn Victor)
Kalau nak ikutkan, her performance masa the final of Malaysian Idol was something that can never ler be repeated.
Sejak tu...she has never had the power to deliver it just the same. Still amazing...but not quite as good.
Really think she deserved the vocal award...though with Hazami getting it, takler teruk sangat kan. At least lost to an equal...
The song itself? Undeniably haunting....
Rating :
Kata (Hazami/Hazami, Tris & Arab/Hazami)
He outdid himself. Hazami has done me proud by not just his vocals, tapi korang prasan tak dia ada menari?
Hah...ko nak puji bab menari...puji ler Hazami..sebab dia lagik kayu dari Mawi sebenarnya.
Bukan kutuk...tapi that boy has got three left feet.....so you can imagine ler kan.
Still, great choir act (cayalah Safri conduct meletop!)...and the backup vocals as well (Farah best!)
Kalao korang nak tau, choir dia dan backup vocals dia semua anak didik dia...
Rating :
Dan resultnya yang takkan aku lawan walaupun ada ahli juri yang aku rasa memang tidak patut (bukan tidak layak) berada di dalam keadaan tu adalah seperti berikut :
Juara Lagu (RM25,000 & trophy): Gemilang
Juara kategori (RM12,000 & trophy)
Irama Malaysia and Ethnic Creative : Aduh Saliha (M. Nasir,Loloq)
Pop/Rock : Kata (Hazami/Hazami, Tris & Arab)
Balada : Gemilang (Aubrey Suwito,Asmin Mudin)
Best Performance (RM10,000 & trophy) : Mawi
Best Vocal Performance (RM10,000 & trophy) : Hazami
Apapun...tahniah ler pada semua pemenang!!! All of you deserve it...one way or another. So this is my tribute to you guys (nak pic composers and lyricists tapi tak sempat amik semua...lagik pun ada muka yang tak sesuai dipaparkan - carutan peribadi)
Ini ada dua keping pics lagi sepanjang awards yang aku rasa nak kongsi (nak dapat title Bloggers Paling Gigih ler konon)
First pic : Innuendo ketika mempersembahkan Belaian Jiwa. Korang cam tak mereka. Ok...asalnya, Innuendo in the first album comprised of four people, iaitu, Reymee, Taj, Pot dan Sam yang kemudiannya meninggalkan the group.
Yang kelakarnya...malam tu meka perform, haram aku cam budak yang nyanyi skali ngan Sam dan Reymee yang aku dapat identify tu.
You see, Reymee and Taj were my college mates, sesama amik sound and audio engineering dulu (241B!!!), and aku kenal meka kerana meka ni junior aku.
To cut a long story short, orang ketiga ngan meka tu, is neither Pot nor Taj.
So who was he?
Apparently, he was just a stand-in meka brought in about half hour before the show started.
Aduh...apalah...last-last member yang dok rumah (kat Dewan Merdeka tak perasan sangat) yang ngadu mamat tu sumbang abih kalahkan kesumbangan Dina dan FO3!
So much for evolution...
Kalau korang nak baca ulasan yang intelligent, yang merapu, yang kelako...then baca balik ulasan aku.
Tapi kalao korang rasa nak something the opposite of all that (matilah aku kena carut teman-teman seangkatan!), then try clicking sultanmuzaffar, Javard ataupun pendatang baru dunia bloggers yang da season, Aku Belum Gila Lagi Tau (ada berani mau click???!!!) ataupun MysticDreamworks (mistik mimpi keja katanya direct translation...)
Pic two : Ini masa Amy dan Andy Flop Poppy kan...masa tengah duet. Amy still maintain...and in fact, aku rasa anytime Amy can teach these kids a thing or two about performing, looking and sounding good.
The thing I wanted to raise was...Andy pakai camtuh kenapa?
Harus ler peminat Brokeback Mountain kan!
Kalau Amy pakai camtu gak camna?
Leh imagine tak korang meka as the lead characters (pengsan terus in horror!)
So it was a little funny...but thank God Andy is one of the few with a decent sense of humour and equipped with the slight ability to laugh at himself.
A lot of people can;t do that, sadly enough.
Anyways...ride 'em cowboy!!!
And one last pic masa Ayuh Juragan. Ni takyah explaination ler. Just looks totally weird to me that's all...what do you guys think? Looks like a freak show run amok lor...orgy ke gang bang punya pic ni? (gelak nak pecah perut tengok berulang kali)
Ok...aku rasa setakat ni jer ler entry aku pasai Anugerah Juara Lagu.
Malam semalam balik kat Bangsar bagi semua amik keta da dekat 2am da. Everyone wanted to head home, so I went back to the office to finsih my article for news, and then wat tuk entertainment.
The joke? Aku dok office sampai 5am pastu ngantuk sangat tidur keta.
Bangun 9.30am, cuci muka (yer...tak mandi!!! Phew!) terus sambung keja. Until now.
Sebenarnya kerja leh cepat abih...biasalah procrastination melampau kan...
Still...more updates tomorrow sebab aku cuma ada press conference Anugerah Industri Muzik 2006 at 3pm tomorrow, which gives me lots of time tomorrow to do some stuff. Banyak chores aku.
Kena gi finance nak settle keta punya payment yang aku tak sempat lagi bayar. Then have to go Maybank and pick up my Mastercard and Visa replacements.
And of course...update my blog over one or two things I want to share...until then...toodle doo kiddies... oh by the way guys....jangan lupa akan datang ni kat Planet Hollywood for the next Sunday Nite Live...sifu himself (tatau lak kalau dia bak Mawi guest artiste kan!)
So take note of the date and book your tables now!!!
