since inez requested for a writeup on ac idol, i shall do it but be prepared for lots and lots of criticisms and complaints hahaha
okay let's start with the good parts
- the setup was really nice, they had a stage thingy and the lights were done up kwite nicely :)
- it was supposed to be sorta good cos it was a combined thing? ya so like lots of people turned up
- uhmmm it was good to be back in ac! haha ya i think that's about all
now, brace yourself.
- the sound system was SO bad! you had to cringe everytime they hit the high notes cos it would suddenly boom in your ears. like even the most intune note would sound offtune
- the opening no was supposed to be kwite good at the beginning, when ethel and joseph were doing their solos, but when everyone joined in, my oh my...
- the emcees sucked SO BAD! the guy, matthew chek hardly spoke at all. the girl, spoke too much, and spoke so much crap, not to mention the 'jokes' she cracked of which would be echoed by sniggering [cos the audience was sniggering at HER]
- the judges! haha okay the comments are alright, constructive, in fact i think lifeng and the glenn guy gave the best comments. BUT there was also some acs international MUSIC TEACHER on the panel, and like they got him to put up a performance in between the two rounds of competition.. omg he was SO out of tune it was incredibly unbelievable, as in all of us seriously thought it was a joke! like he was gonna snap out of it and say 'okay heres the real thing' or something. but NO! like wth the whole world was laughing out loud can you believe it? cos he wasn't just a semitone out of tune, he was at least three keys off! OMGOODNESS, someone should advice the acs international principal to do an assessment of their teachers
- the singers! k uhm i don't think i should be mean about the singers, as in i guess they were all alright. as in like they've got kwite decent voices, but the standard was definitely way below last year's.. cos like one of the best, joseph yong, was actually one of those who got rejected during the auditions last year. and like ethel was the best amongst them already, whilst last year, she was completely overshadowed.. so ya you can go figure the standards of the competition this year. [btw our official acs idol of the year is a sec two indian boy from barker!]
okay i think that's enough of complaining and criticizing haha oh well, someone asked me how bad was the acs idol and i said ' well it was worse than singapore idol', draws the picture kwite well for you already right? hahaha
anyway girls! doreen, jas and i are leaving for hongkong next week! with some of our ac guyfriends hee :)
