Keep walking, boots. Konsert Akademi Fantasia 4 minggu 4

Aku tau aku ada posting 'hutang'... tapi first things first... mengenai konsert minggu keempat.
Permulaan konsert keempat Akademi Fantasia was something yang I looked forward to, kerana aku rasa ni la minggu dimana majoriti pelajar betul-betul dicabar dengan pilihan lagu yang tidak memberikan perhatian kepada kemampuan peribadi.

For me, the concert was one that was really going to test the abilities of the kids.

And how did they fare?

Erm... read on ler kan. Setuju tau tidak - all I can say is, you guys have to think beyond sentiments kerana walaupun musim ni nampaknya pengundi lebih bijak menilai bakat, there still appears to be some who votes based on looks, kesian dan sebagainya.

Apapun, aku nak komen sikit pasal intro konsert kali ni. It started out with Adlin's apology for what transpired over the last concert, which I think was good, both for him and Astro.

Tapi aku cam geram lak bila Saleem lak went on non-stop. Bukan apa... memang dia berhak bersuara, but I think it was too long drawn and that dia went on and went, which was unfair to Adlin who had apologised to Saleem over national TV.

After all's said and done, kalau you were sincere in accepting the apology, then perhaps you should act like it. Malas komen lebih... pikir sendiri.

Oh... and Kevin Zahri was just so bloody irritating... dia cam so in love with the camera (his second relationship after the affair with himself).

Now on to the concert.

Velvet - Dikir Puteri (Noraniza Idris)
I think Velvet genuinely started out well, but something went wrong by the chorus and she seemed to be really pitchy there.

Entah ler...

I salute her because memang susah ler for her to maintain her composure, singing and dancing as well, which I think she did fairly well,

Still she seemed too preoccupied dan terlalu fokus pada tarian dia sampai dia tak memberi perhatian pada stage presence dia.

Entahlah... by midway through the song, baru separuh jalan je dia cam hilang confidence.

Patutnya dia patut lebih yakin not only because she was the opening show, but also because she had this whole ensemble of not only dancer tapi also the backing of pelajar lain.
Camna tuh Velvet... AIYAK!!! Tak consistent lak... ni yang risau ni. I think she's losing focus, and Velvet better brush up real fast.
Rating klubbkidd : (Setengah bintang tambahan sebab kurang peluh kali ni)

Haziq - Buat Sang Puteri (Spider)
I have to admit, Haziq memang improve and he did better than expected. BUT aku tetap kata dia overrated because he was just screaming everytime the chorus came about.

Lagikpun, aku memang meremang bulu roma ngan aksi Karam Singh Walia dia yang tak ubah-ubah... except this time Karam with Parkinsons lak.

It's getting tiring... and I really don't know how orang leh anggap jeritan dia tuh sebagai vokal yang power. Come on ler guys.... this is ridiculous.
At least Farah dalam musim kedua, sedar dan cuma ubah bila dia strain high notes dia and resorted to shouting.

Ni lak...seolah orang kita tak tahu beza between singing and shouting!
Anxiety disorder katanya... aku lak anxiety disorder bila tengok camnih. Aduh...
Erm... tapi tak berani la nak ngata Haziq. Tengok muka dia... nak ngadu tuh kat mummy and daddy!

Horrors la muka dia!!!
Rating klubbkidd : (extra setengah bintang kerana usaha... patutnya at least tiga bintang tapi sebab menyeksa pendengaran dan jiwa aku ngan lalakan dia yang di anggap nyanyian kena tolak!)

Zila - These Boots Are Made For Walking (Nancy Sinatra/Jessica Simpson)
Her diction is far from perfect, tapi aku salute si Zila because she definitely made an immense efforts to perform despite her limitations.

Yang cuma menganggu aku sepanjang persembahannya adalah penari latar yang dok tengah tuh! Aiyo! Horror!!!

Pompuan tulen ke tak ni? Penari mana lak diupah Astro nih???!!!
One more thing, Astro pas ni kena klasifikasikan ler Akademi Fantasia as 18SX judging by wardrobe.

Perhatian ek... pattern baju telah diubah design nak sesuaikan ke the area yang dok meka nak promote sangat ngan baju yang sebegitu erm... sopan.

Nampaknya ada double standards dimana students kena cover up tapi back-up dancer ala gadis-gadis kelab dangdut.

Back to Zila... she was still too cautious, terlampau berjaga-jaga kerana takut wat kesilapan, dan seperti Velvet, kekurangan keyakinan dia mencacatkan sedikit persembahannya.

Patutnya she was taught to understand what she was singing cause I really agree with Adlin yang dia patut mainkan watak seductress atau penggoda yang bersesuaian ngan tema lagu.

Still, Zila gave a decent show... despite baju horror yang dia pakai crotchet knitwork ngan pattern ala patchwork quilt with sequins.
Rating klubbkidd :

Diddy - Nusantara (Kembara)
Aku rasa siot punya kelakar ler skit ngan Hamid Gurkha nyanyi kat Bora Ombak tuh... even though it was a guilty pleasure to be laughing at his singing. Mmm... orang tuh dah senja, tak elok gelakkan dia.

On Diddy's performance itself, I can see a stabilisation of Diddy's vocals, and how there is more confidence in his execution.

His ability to handle the choreography and vocals is commendable, but still I have a problem with his stressing concentration.

Dalam nak pastikan stage performance dia memuaskan, he was all over running like a headless chicken. I think someone has to talk to him about how to learn to enjoy those moments, and why he has to do what he has to do... dan bukan main buat apa yang di suruh saja.

Aku in two minds about him honestly, sebab next to Zila, being hardworking and all, he has a problem with projecting his real personality, which is more interesting onstage.
Rating klubbkidd :

Amirul - Khatulistiwa (Blues Gang)
First of all... perlu ke promote si pengawas sekolah rendah si Jamal tuh!!!!
Sheesh... anyway Amirul was nothing to shout about in the vocal department.

He 'Haziq-ed' midway ngan terkucil and ended up screaming the rest of the way.
Keep it real katanya... keeping it real would be keeping him out.

Kalau tak ada Ito aku da keluar gi hisap rokok je nak ilangkan stress kena layan nyanyian FLAT dia tuh. HORRIBLE!!!!!

Aku rasa Amirul is the only student yang paling tak progress langsung (saingan terdekat dia Salima and Haziq dari aspek ni).

He appears tone deaf... his singing lacks dynamics and dah ler time kena tegur Kak Ani... dia seolah kerek cam... he couldn't be bothered with the advice and asyik "Terima kasih...terima kasih...". Ni ler budak yang tak akan belajar langsung... kalau dia sibuk nak tidur... orang lagik nak tidur time dia wat show (except lalakan dia will keep you awake)
Rating klubbkidd : (Tambah satu bintang hanya kerana Ito on harmonica was fantastic)

Farhan - Tak Ingin Lagi (Misha Omar)
Perlu ke membawa Shazzy?
I think it was unnecessary for him to be there, but dengan adanya si Shazzy ni, aku rasa lagi terbukti Farhan mampu mengawal pentas, walaupun ada yang tompang menyemak atas tuh.

Body language and communication dia with Shazzy, the camera and audience was fantastic!

Vocal control dan breathing technique dia superb and almost flawless. Her improvisation would put Misha to shame.

Definitely... undoubtedly... the BEST performance of the night!!!

And most importantly... Farhan is the most consistent dari semua pelajar seperti dibuktikan daripada empat persembahan.

By the way, pada mereka yang tidak ketahui, Farhan bukan nyanyi sora falsetto sebab ramai puji control vocal dia ni in falsetto. Women do NOT have falsettos.

Read HERE and HERE for more info. So educate yourself and maybe you'll realise some talents are absolutely amazing!
Rating klubbkidd : (Kali pertama aku bagi five star performance - nak bagi enam tapi nanti orang kata aku biased lak)

Faizal - Wo! (Zahid)
Aku memang suka Faizal gila babas... tapi aku kena kata persembahan lagu Wo! Faizal was HORRIBLE!

Cam badut si Pejal ni...er... kenapa lak dia asik tenung kawasan dada penari pompuan yang dok nari ngan dia masa dance break tuh. Gatal gak budak ni... ingat gibeks... ke cover line sebab orang dok perasan dia sesuatuh touchy feely gituh.

Anyway, rap is something that needs an attitude in delivery... it's an artform, and Faizal was simply embarassing.

Just because he's cute, people forgive for screwing up the performance which was nothing short of disastrous!
Ricky Martin? Did Harun Salim Bachik make that comparison? William Hung mungkin lah...

At the end of the day, people have to admit this.
Despite Faizal punya bakat, masa time wat persembahan lagu Wo!, he couldn't sing, rap or dance.

And walaupun memang dia ada masaalah menari, aku rasa dia tak mencuba langsung untuk memperbaiki diri kerana terlalu yakin dia mempunyai ramai pengikut.

Walaupun Mawi dalam musim ketiga mengalami masaalah menari and dia sedar dia mempunyai sokongan kuat... at least midway Mawi improve sampai dia pun leh catch up bab tuh.

Faizal? I don't know... I'm starting to lose confidence in him.
Kongkang? Call him the whole simian family lor for all I care cause he sure dance deservedly into that one.

Memalukan saja tuan milik lagu, tak lain tak bukan, juara Akademi Fantasia musim kedua.
By the way... orang rappers pakai suar londeh. Erm... ni lak pakai atas pusat ke?
And erm... topi tu sapa punya ek sampai beso sangat tuh?
Rating klubbkidd :

Salima - Senandung Hidup Berbudi (Ramli Sarip)
Ngilaian and monotony of her whole performance is simply becoming too predictable.

Aku lebih tertarik fokus kat pergelangan kakinya di mana aku terperasan rupanya dia pakai flesh coloured body stocking yang sampai tahap tu. Erm... sopannya walaupun kain terbelah, pakai stocking katanya.Yang nasi lemak lima puloh sen terbonjol apa cerita.

Aiyak....

"Kalau saya yang nyanyi,...saya pun akan sedar dan insaf" kata Harun SALIMA Bachik.

First of all.. mamat ni punya work so award-winning ker nak justify his position to make comments? Anyway... kalau dia insaf dan sedar... erm... Salima camna?

Apapun, Salima sumbang and was one of the vocally worst of the night.... tak paham gak terselamat lagik minah ni. Nunggu masa je... tak sabar aku nak standing ovation tuk dia time dia exit kang.
Rating klubbkidd :

Lotter - Bertemasya Desa Gemalai (Ramli Saripl)
What the f**k was Lotter doing???!!!

He started was too low, and terus kesumbangan overdose!

Picking up he just picked up momentum and overshot the mark.

Suara dia boleh diklasifikasikan sebagai suara orang baru bangun tidur yang lum 'pecah'.
Kalau yang lain susah kerana tercabar dengan genre, aku rasa Lotter ni tercabar dari semua aspek.

He was definitely THE WORST of the night, even outdoing Amirul, Salima dan Haziq.
Diatas pentas... tengok elok-elok. Seperti member aku pesan... rupa dia dah mula ilang perbandingan ngan Aziz Satar (which is actually a cute comparison) and more similar to Toki (visual horror - merasalah nightmare)

He is succumbing to the worst fears I had for him which is started out with a bang... and since then spiralling uncontrollably downwards and sucking more and more.
Rating klubbkidd :

Sebelum apa-apa, aku nak katakan, aku nilaikan Zila, Faizal a little differently sebab tau mereka yang sebenarnya paling sukar membawa lagu-lagu tugasan memasing.

Aku rate kan Faizal low sebab takde effort, tapi aku generous ngan Zila sebab aku rasa she did try her best.

And that's what is partially important... not totally... but the effort counts for something. But of course at the end of it... results do matter.

All in all, aku rasa aku terhibur gak keseluruhannya konsert ini walaupun sakit telinga ngan binatang-binatang liar yang di benarkan masuk dewan dan melalak tanpa kira masa.

Menuju Puncak was the best of the season so far, with more energy and punch, walaupun Faizal tetap the worst. Bab tu, I have to say the best dancer is Amirul... but I suppose God gives a little extra to those who lack so much.

Congrats to Linda dan Corrie sebab berjaya gak dera bebudak ni nak improve.Yang pentingnya, selepas semusim senyap... pyrotechnics kembali untuk konsert Akademi Fantasia, menambahkan 'umphh!!!' pada show.

Here hoping meka akan ubah-ubah choreography untuk spice things up. And perhaps, supaya bebudak ni lebih focused on performing well for Menuju Puncak, harap-harap Astro consider tutup voting SELEPAS meka selesai tarian tuh.

This will also give more time to pelajar yang perform last sekali supaya mereka yang mengundi berdasarkan persembahan diberi masa lebih sikit.

At least kalao wat camtuh, bebudak ni risau sikit dan brush up their dance (note : Faizal kongkang) and takde ler bebudak ni curi tulang sangat (ada yang tak menyumbang suara and nyanyi at some points masa Menuju Puncak)

Please ler people... start voting based on QUALITY dan bukan sentiments ler... bila nak maju ni. Sampai bila nak camni... kalau hancur pun puji.
Ni kedudukan undian sebelum dan selepas konsert.

Seperti dapat diperhatikan, Salima sekali lagi terselamat. Dan mangsanya Zila.

Apapun, I think this is simply ridiculous. Mengikut sumber yang monitor undian, Salima sebenarnya menduduki tangga terbawah sehingga lima minit terakhir baru dia pintas Zila. Hmphh!!! Sampai bila ler nak terselamat ni...

Aku happy sebab pengundi semakin bijak menunjukkan sokongan untuk persembahan yang berkualiti ngan mengAFUNDI Farhan untuk menduduki lagi sekali lagi diatas.

Apapun, seperti biasa, Isnin tahu ler apa datang kan? So wait for that. Also cita pasal trip kat Singapore yang HORROR!!!!

Erm... aku terhutang ngan peminat Rich kan pesanan dia masa kat last Monday kan? Sorry ler time tu tak sempat, bukan tanak posting.. paham ler ek sebab aku rushing nak abihkan keja sebelum berangkat ke Singapore for four days.

Apapun, thanks for everyone who keeps supporting my blog and me too... I have been reading everything you have to say and it means the world to me, ok.
Sat... sebelum apa-apa, ni yang di janjikan...

Erm... seperti biasa, kalau tak leh baca tulisan Rich tuh, ni apa yang ditulisnya.

To all of you, thanks for your support and encouragement. I hope that you have been enlightened by my presence in AF, and that I will continue to entertain you wholeheartedly. Thanks again for your deeds. God Bless... - Rich

Apa lagi ek... ni wat peminat Nora dan Karen... ada pic istimewa dari meka ek... siap posing tuk aku, Thanks girls! Nak amik pic Yazer, Felix, Rosma dan Sahri tapi sibuk ngan urusan lain time tuh, so layan jer...

Bebudak Prelude pun ada tapi sempat lepak ngan Hazama sat jer hi hi bye bye gitu...and er Liya sekali.

By the way, sempat ler aku snappy here and there sikit, and I think ni pic aku suka sangat nak share.

Kalau ahli anggota keluarga pelajar lain sibuk bak banner dan sepanduk nak promo dan support favourite memasing, ni yang paling semangat punya promo bagi aku, iaitu kaum kerabat Zila. Salute tul tengok keta meka pun dihias.

So meka dapat ler anugerah khas dari aku ni tuk semangat waja. Apapun... kesian lak aku teringat sebelum konsert aku amik pic keta meka ni nak kongsi, abih konsert tersingkir lak.

Adus... why lah... masih tak puas ati aku walaupun tuk aku Zila tuh kekadang nunggu masa je rupa dia. Still, it wasn't her time and she could have improved more given the chance.

Eh eh... cakap punya cakap lupa letak pics lak. NI dia...

Apa lagik ek. Takut ada yang terlupa nak add posting nanti panjang lebar lagik ler next posting aku.

Erm...terima kasih Astro sebab jemput jadi tamu di Imbasan Akademi Fantasia kali ni. Jangan salahkan ek tak dapat banyak sebab waktu terbatas. Tapi besh sebab ngan Alam, my ex editor. Old times...

Ooh... I have more thing to share. Siapa yang tak suka lantak ler ek... tapi untuk peminat Nikki dan Zahid... here's a little bit of exciting news.

Selepas 14 MINGGU lagu Caramu masuk Carta ERA, hari ni, lagu tu bertakhta di NOMBOR SATU!

Selain radio Ria di Singapura (selama dua minggu), lagu Caramu juga kerap menduduki Carta Sepuluh dan juga Carta 20 xfresh dan masih antara tiga lagu teratas! Ni tak kira lagi kedudukan top three di radio Kristal Brunei dan juga Hot Fm dan sebagainya.Terima kasih pada peminat Nikki dan juga Zahid (you go ZA8FC-KSNM!!!) kerana terus memastikan lagu tu at the top!

Apapun, one more piece of exciting news is that, jangan lupa menonton premiere music video Caramu yang akan ditayangkan di Muzik@Ria bersama Yasmin Hani pada hari Selasa ni (tak silap jam 9.30pm) Rugi jer tak tengok... music video dia best ok!

Ok ler... aku rasa setakat ni jer posting panjang lebar... jangan lupa membaca ulasan dan carutan pendapat warga blog lain on konsert Akademi Fantasia, yang menjadi tumpuan untuk pendapat yang alternatif (seperti biasa, akan diupdatekan kalau terjumpa review yang power cili padi yang lain)

Tora datang lagi...

Good news and bad news guys...

Which do you want first...?

Ok ler... let me give you guys the good news first... I'M BACK!!! (Of course for some idiots, that would be bad news, which is fine with me!)

And the bad news (or good news if you are a pretencious poser with an attitude to boot). No update on my postings yet, sebab baru singgah opis pas touchdown tengahari tadi.

I will be updating later tonight on Diari (yer kembali normal balik ek routine), pastu kalao sempat, siap update on Singapore trip, dan yang terhutang dari ari tu, mesej Rich ek....

By the way, that's all I'm updating my blog for today.

Apapun, pada mereka yang not checking the blog from today until the weekend is over...erm... jangan lupa menonton Imbasan Akademi Fantasia Ahad ni ek.

Pada mereka yang regular readers of this blog, dan kengkawan jer ek pesanan penaja tuh.
Ada surprise sikit. Ok ler.. nak balik unpack shopping aku...

Gone

*Aku akan berada di Singapore sampai hari Ahad. My flight is at noon esok (Selasa) dan aku akan kembali at about 8pm on Friday atas kerja (dan juga Singapore Sale). Ulasan konsert seperti biasa, tapi untuk ulasan dan carutan seneraka aku untuk Diari Akademi Fantasia harian, sila ke links di bawah ini yang lebih hangat dari biasa :

mY kopitiam

Mmm...tengok memang muram sungguh ler bebudak ari ni, especially Lotter and Velvet, sampai tak nampak terdandan si Velvet ni. Yang penting tetap eyeshadow flawless ok walaupun sedih. Now that's looking good in the face of adversity for you.

Aww.. God... muka Lotter aku tengok... sampai sedih cam Rich dah ninggal. Bukan sedih dia terkeluar Akademi.

Faizal as usual no expression, Amirul sengih je walaupun dia pun horror meleleh masa konsert, Salima merapu ngan jawapan begitu diplomatic.

Er... kenapa ada private message untuk Velvet? Or more appropriately "Please tell her, that I care about her very much, please be strong etc...I care about you tiga juta kali". Dah keluar, jangan ler nak kenenkan... it doesn't work la... not unless they showed more on the possible romantic links... kan? Kalau tak the story just isn't believable. Lagik pun kan da audio wasiat.

Why the need??? Someone enlighten me.

Besides, kang tak pasal-pasal Velvet di 'hantar' jumpa Rich. Aiyo... jangan ler!!! Salima or Haziq ler jadik postman tuk pesan mesej dah ler.

Mak aih!!! Endorsement lagik! That is one heck of a humongous machine lor nak exercise on.
Erm.. World Cup related exercise by Dr. Eveready. Lotter, Velvet, Amirul di pilih dok dalam satu kumpulan (Jepun sebab mata sepet - perlu ke??? Haiyo!), Farhan, Faizal and Zila (Itali - don't know wy for real... but yeay... Farhan dan Faizal together in one group) and Salima, Haziq and Diddy (Brazil - also don't know why.. but kesian si Diddy). Cat muka katanya...

Merasalah comot gila muka Velvet dikerjakan teammates dia. Cam pakai bedak sejuk pastu di pukul kat molot sampai berdarah. Amirul lak nampak cam puppy doq with one spot on his eye... Salima and Haziq looked like corpses... merasalah!

Lotter cam muka kena ripped in half!

Futsal katanya... erm. Pakai lutut?

Er.. kenapa panggil Hazama? As important as celebrating Tasha punya birthday masa konsert lepas. Cmon ler... those kids were eliminated takyah ler expose them more to the public eye giving them more hope through the public attention. Hish...

Tak sesuai tengok Salima join berebut bola ok with the rest of the guys.

Pastu injured la katanya.... tapi gelak tengok Velvet tarik Salima kuar sambil buat effect ambulance.

Aiyak... abih Diari pertama tribute to Rich punya montage, tunjuk si Velvet lap air mata. Erm... mintak-mintak ler tak dihantar kuar bersama ler.. ish ish ish...

Second started with scenes of Rich dan Velvet tengok bola kat Hartamas Square kat match Brazil versus Australia.

Masa jumpa kat ruang tunggu Akademi, Velvet dan Rich biasa je... erm.. takde pun excited ke haper. Tapi yer yer lak kesedihan sebelum. Drama queen lebih lah bebudak ni. Bebudak ni chauffered with all this attention... mesti ada yang geram kalao gi sana tuk tengok match terpaksa give way to the whole production.

Sudahpun agak... Rich pilih velvet sebab nak elak bebudak lelaki lain jeles, and I think it was a pretty good move.

Diddy lak cedera masa mandi... tapi again... lawak dia lagik.

Pandai mereka bagi new toy in the exercise machine so that Kevin Zahri can avoid from saying carbs... not like it matters sebab aku segera turunkan volume as he showed the kids how to use the machines.

Comments and all later... erm.. Ramli Sarip siap urut tangan Faizal yang lenguh time tengah review the kids' performance.

Lagu tugasan... Zila aiyo... pronounce it right la..

Aku suka part Ramli Sarip bagitau the results of the AFUNDI sejurus tutupnya undian... at least these kids know where they really stand. Cam Farhan, I hope she's more excited about her show from now on, sebab no matter what, as long as she performs good and convinces people, I know she'll stay on for much longer.

Muka Salima lak masa dengar dia second last... dah ler tepong komak... tambah agik pucat ala horror, though she tried to keep this blank expression.

Ni senarai lagu untuk minggu ni.

Aku suka almost all the selections sebab minggu ni nampak ler meka ni akan mula tercabar dengan genre tugasan different from what each person is used to. Tapi motif ada dua lagu Ramli Sarip?

Mmm... really...

Zila - These Boots Are Made For Walking (Nancy Sinatra/Jessica Simpson)
Amirul - Khatulistiwa (Blues Gang)
Faizal - Wo! (Zahid)
Farhan - Tak Ingin Lagi (Misha Omar)
Diddy - Nusantara (Kembara)
Salima - Senandung Hidup Berbudi (Ramli Sarip)
Velvet - Dikir Puteri (Noraniza Idris)
Lotter - Bertemasya Desa Gemalai (Ramli Sarip)
Haziq - Buat Sang Puteri (Spider)

By the way, mengenai serangan ke atas blog aku, atas nasihat ahli keluarga, aku sudahpun membuat keputusan mendiamkan diri. Tapi ini tidak bermaksud aku mengalah, kerana bak kata Vince, "tiada pengalah". Matilah...

Apapun, so be it... if someone gets their kicks in being abusive, more power to you... I'm sure your mother is really proud of you.

Soal aku bergaduh ngan seseorang, all I can say is, based on advice to make peace, so be it too. I can't do anything if someone chooses to be immature, and in fact, I pity that person.

Terpulang ler... bila ko nak mula bertanggungjawab atas perangai dan kelakuan ko. Aku tak maapkan ko atas apa ko buat, tapi sebab hormat orang lain yang dok tengah terluka atas peperangan ko nak, demi menjaga kepentingan peribadi, aku mendiamkan diri... for now.

We can never be friends, and I hope one day you learn just what you did is wrong.

Anyway, like I said, I'm off to Singapore for work and hopefully some shopping... be back on Friday. Check out links kat atas untuk tetap mengikuti ulasan dan carutan Diari...

By the way, aku nak thank someone yang aku rasa has been there, and the other for his motivational words.

Thanks to that special SOMEONE (you know who you are... I'm going to miss you for these next few days... take care ok *hugs*)

And also... jeng jeng jeng.. tima kasih pada Dr. Eveready @ Dr. Fazley for messaging me, and voicing your support and concern. You rock dude... walaupun kekadang aku tertido tengok motivasi ko *matilah aku mencarut depan-depan*

You remember that being cool is not being different or definable, but about being true to YOURSELF which you are as far as I'm concerned, what you are... rock ok!

The blues can be good! Konsert ketiga Akademi Fantasia 4

Semalam blog aku kena serang.... mmm.. entah siapa kan?

Takpelah... try discouraging me some more.

Ada kejutan nanti.

Apapun... wait for more news on that. To that coward, dahler pakai nama ntah haper nak carut aku konon... apa ko merapu tu? Really.. so desperate ke nak kutuk aku? Sampai main hentam je... dahler terpaksa pakai berbagai nick?

Perlu ke?

Moving on... cause aku takkan ngalah pada bangsa binatang yang masuk rumah orang perasan nak wat hal (yes, I left your comments for the world to see just how stupid you sound trying to piss on me)...

About the concert earlier today... not in the mood to praise anything, but don't want to be super-critical as well.

To be fair, let's start with the overwhelming negative.

Semalam punya tarian Menuju Puncak was simply the worst in comparison ngan musim-musim sebelumnya.

I mean, check this out... sampai peringkat minggu ketiga, kalau dilihat pada musim Akademi Fantasia yang lain... even Mawi was able to dance by then.

Ni takyah kata Faizal kongkang.. semua pon camtuh. It looked like a Sunday stroll with a really sensitive boil kat celah punggung, the way they danced.

Kesian tul si Linda dan Corrie, pas show jumpa, tension bebetul sekor-sekor nih.
Tak bersungguh langsung nak membuat yang terbaik. Cam tak penting langsung pada mereka Menuju Puncak ni.

Mentang-mentang undian da tutup masuk Menuju Puncak, mereka ni ingat, tak ada keperluan untuk mereka do their best... so they can just such big time.

It's not so much about votes, but more of the tradition of the past seasons of Akademi Fantasia where it has always been treated with religious fervour. Tapi untuk bebudak ni, aku rasa meka tak paham langsung how important it is for them to do it nice. Oh well...

Moving on to the concert, aku straight to the shows jer la ek.

By the way, the whole cake scene was a waste of time... motif nak celebrate birthday Tasha? I mean.. it's nice and all... but buang masa je on air.Dahler masuk si Awie jadian tuh! Si Shkandar tak silap aku nama dia... mamat yang gagal ujibakat Akademi Fantasia pastu jadi pak pacak semua program Astro. Weird!

Salima - Obsesi (Juliana Banos)
With a draped vest thingie ala crochet knit tablecloth, Salima played cowgirl. I don't know about everyone else, tapi aku terus terbayang iklan OSIM Gallop tu... yang iklan korang senonoh tuh, orang dok tunggang benda ala yang urut bontot dan peha tuh.

Well, first the positive. She was better than Juliana Banos. That's a compliment if you can take it that way.

Deja was spot on her vocal weaknesses yang nampaknya tak diperbetulkan gak dari sebelum-sebelum ni, while M. Rajoli cam buang masa je ada sana. Adlin was also spot on with mentions on the wardrobe (everyone's fave topic skang) and lack of energy from Salima.

Erm... pas nyanyi... scene ala Mas, tapi bukan bak anak, tapi nak adik Salima.
Bak kata chatters kat msjbox aku, kesian tengok adik Salima rindu kakak dia. Mari kita ketemukan Salima ngan adik tersayangnya, dan jangan pisahkan mereka for even one second more... kita keluarkan je Salima ler minggu depan ek.
Rating klubbkidd :

Amirul - Yesterday (The Beatles)
Walaupun ramai tension ngan Amirul sebab sentiment, but I think he was indeed better than suited to the song. HOWEVER, there was little use of dynamics and he just sort of rushed through the song. Too simple. No improvisation. No lenggok ker haper ker... takde kreativiti langsung.

M. Rajoli still merepek, but suddenly made a good mention on stage performance. Memang si Amirul tu ketara pejam mata (ke dia bukak tapi kita ingatdia pejam?) throughout the song.

Lawak bodoh dari kengkawan... Astro nak bak The Beatles ke sebagai kejutan?
Erm... leh ker ada yang lawat dari kubur ni... lain jer!
Rating klubbkidd :

Rich - Mustika (M.Nasir)
Why lah?? Start aja da salah lirik! Rich still hasn't learned at all for me, or very little at least.

Dia masih dengan his old ways, and nampaknya sikit sangat yang di ajar tenaga pengajar yang menyerap dalam persembahan dia.

I think the same comment was used in the last two weeks, so malas nak elaborate.
M. Rajoli kenapa???!!! Lidah Melayu?? Erm..
Rating klubbkidd :

Zila- Tak Tercapai Akalmu (Elyana)
Kesian kan si Zila... mana taknya pakai t-shirt pagoda... walaupun luarannya glitters belaka. Dahler baju lampu lip lap mapal haprak tu...very the busuk.

Erm...

I think she did ook overall, but like a lot of the kids, Zila pun bab lagu rancak sikit jer tak bermaya, and extremely lacklustre.

Like Adlin pointed out, she is quite forgettable... and I think she has to work on projecting her personality and character more through her performance supaya lebih berkesan persembahannya.
Rating klubbkidd :

Farhan - Still Got The Blues (Gary Moore)
Malas komen lebih. One word. FANTASTIC! And I think Malaysia agrees! Judging by the votes.... hope Farhan keeps it up as she is THE MOST consistent performer setakat ini.
Rating klubbkidd :

Haziq - Cinta Nusantara (Sheqal)
Tak ada apa yang menarik, persembahan biasa, vokal pun biasa... erm... yang luarbiasa tuh camna dia masih leh bertahan.

Seperti mana minggu lepas, sampai ada satu part, mesti terbabas!

And it was a sense of deja vu, because repeat performance.

Erm.. M. Rajoli muda ek.. sesuai!
Rating klubbkidd :

Lotter - Iris (Awie)
Aiks!
CD lompat ke? Hah... tu ler akibat burn CD murah!
It was a weird and rocky start for the music, and also Lotter. As the song progressed it became better, tapi aku rasa cam missing something je.

I don't know, I think Lotter can be a serious performer if he wants to, cuma mungkin somehow the whole feel hari ni spoil sebab muzik yang aku rasa memang tak kena.
Vocally I see an improvement, tapi memang first verse tu ala Titanic karam tak hengat!
Rating klubbkidd :

Velvet - Teman Tapi Mesra (Ratu)
She started out WAY too low, and like a friend commented, it may have something to do with the fact that it was the music to blame (Sham Kamikaze sila jawab)

The intro to the song was too horrible, tak sanggup aku dengar, walaupun hype memula nak enjoy the song.

Got distracted by penari backing yang pakai seluar berkilat ala beg plastik sampah itam.

It didn't help.

Velvet tried to pick things up and let loose her vocals, only this time it didn't work. Memang it salvaged a little of the show, but I thought it was definitely her worse in three weeks. Let's hope she performs lebih elok minggu akan datang ni and Malaysia keeps her in because she is one of the best vocalists in the show.

Just hope dia takkan terlalu confident lagi lain kali kalao pada awal konsert dia at the top, because I think overconfidence was a huge contributor to the bad show.
Rating klubbkidd :

Diddy - Memori Luka (Headwind)
The strength of the song, kekuatan melodi and all, saved Diddy this time. Tapi to be fair, Diddy banyak improve. Aku rasa antara semua pelajar, dia lah yang paling mendadak perkembangan dalam tiga minggu.

Better vocal control, takder Hunchback of Notre Dame lagik... and he looks less intense, walaupun kekadang masaalah penghayatan tu tetap ada. And oh, tak lupa last part pon ada ler erm.. Karam Singh Walia sikit (teringat pergerakan tangan Haziq bila sebut Karam nih)

Promising show from Diddy, dan harapnya minggu ni dia akan memberikan one more great performance so the audience will keep him in longer.
One of the better male students in this concert.
Rating klubbkidd :

Faizal - Blues Terengganu Kita (Iklim)
Aku really think Faizal wasn't all that impressive.

Like Velvet, aku rasa Faizal sudah terlalu yakin dan selesa dengan kedudukannya yang sering diatas bersama Lotter.

Antara semua, aku rasa Faizal has the most natural showmanship and impressive vocals (kalau banding yang lain), but it's nothing really to shout for kalao dia stop working at this stage and tak progress as a singer, performer and entertainer.

Memang jauh perjalanan Faizal ni, tapi jangan awal-awal terlalu bersahaja hanya kerana fan power.
Dari awal kata suara dia cam Saleem, and I think it was nice to see him duet with Saleem. As for Adlin punya komen? Malas nakl komen on that... hak memasing.
I belive Adlin had good intentions to say that.. but hey... who am I to say.
Rating klubbkidd :

Kalau sebelum ni aku selalu bagi keputusan undian sebelum dan selepas konsert, kali ni aku akan memberikan hanya the vote count at the end of the concert.
Simply because aku rasa the keputusan undian pada awal konsert dah tak penting, sebab tidak memberikan sebarang indication of what will happen unlike previous seasons.
But cukup ler nak kata Velvet dok paling atas dan Farhan paling bawah.
And the final results? This is it. Farhan amazing.. and rewarded! Salima da mula nampak her real spot deserved for her performance... cuma Haziq jer tak puas ati sikit. Tapi you win some you lose some la kan...Esok... seperti biasa... pada mereka yang regular...tau apa akan datang kan. Dan juga hasil kata putus dari streamyx and more on the case of the abusive comment/tagger yang menyerang blog aku.
By the way, aku takkan delet comment-comment itu kerana those comments are proof of how pathetic some people's mentality is at. Have a good day guys...
PS. Update pics esok ler ek...
