ANUGERAH FINALE

well, ANUGERAH has come to an end, so fast I feel. but actually de competition has been on for about 3-months since de 1st audition kicked-off at EastPoint,Simei. from thousands who came, its was down to only 4, earlier tonight. congrats to all 4 for making it dis far despite watever circumstances had been faced. all those bumpy patches and crucial critics, bla bla bla. :)

de 4 finalists were Sarah Aqilah (my hot fav to win), Chirul (he has de most sweetest voice of all), Wawan (de 1 with his own style) & Kunjung (de media darling).

well, I knw some might say there r others who deserved to be in de final more than de 4 above but at times, things can be unpredictable. 50% votes and another 50 judges' decisions. so there is a need of LUCK to prevail among de best! :) trust me :)
just take Hydir as example (I knw dis boy since he was 3-yrs old), he has de gd look, he is young, has golden voice and of course strong fan-base BUT sadly enough, lucky stars didnt shine on him to 'provide' some lucks and we saw him got eliminated at de semi-final.

de grand finale was awesome, esp de opening which featured last winner (Aliff) along with de 4-finalists and de top 12 guys/girls. they sang anugerah magic, dis yr anugerah's theme song. a lively performance, very refreshin!
on SARAH'S PERFORMANCE: she gave all out, de greatest of all tonight. dah takde simpan2 lagi! all her performances were wonderful. suara lantang and she has gd control of it, gd job done gal! HatiYgKauSakiti was wonderful, Rawan was great & Sembunyi (duet with Eiss) was sweet & lively.
on CHIRUL'S PERFORMANCE: UlarBerbisa was gerek, HanyaKauYgMampu was lacking some confiddence but his voice turned out well & BilaCintaBertasbih (duet with Nana) was 1 job done very well! its nt easy to sing that duet's song (original artist: Melly & a guy I'm nt sure who).
on WAWAN'S PERFORMANCE: he dissapoint me with his broadway version of Ketahuan, suara tak mengancam langsung from a mat-rock like him but duet song he prevailed, he some sort like wake up and rock-ish in him was back there :) a lil relief.
on KUNJUNG'S PERFORMANCE: I need 2 agree with head judge Eddie Ali that she could get a lil too 'over' at times, when she tried to impress a lil too hard but didnt turn out well. her version of kuteruskan by siti sarah was bad, seriously i didnt see any greatness in that. haha nthg much to be said bout her coz I dont really favour her.

few guest artis were invited and de 1 who got my fullest attention was Imran Ajmain definitely, my most fav local singer! suara yg amat baik skali! he sang Jika Engkau Pergi, aduhaiii, sweet yg teramat! thumbs up!

finally result came out along with anugerah2 sampingan.
3rd & 4th place went to Wawan & Chirul respectively. moments of debaran when it was left with 2 ladies, yeah I badly want a female winner but definitely I dont want Kunjung to be, I want Sarah! and ALHAMDULILLAH, dis time I was nt left dissapointed like de previous 2-Anugerah (2005 & 2007), Sarah WON!!!! cngrats gal, u deserved it de most!
judges had chosen de ryte 1 while de viewers also had voted for de most deserving winner!
I really hope with de prizes offered that include a recording contract frm Msia prestigous recording company, Sarah will go far. Spore female singers usually 'setgh masak' je, they didnt go far and their singing journey stopped halfway. I'm hoping that she will make a difference and will get de ryte person to guide her along in to achieve a better future & success.
once again, MY BIGGEST CONGRATS to SARAH AQILAH.

till de next post, readers :)
