Rojak Idol

As much as we emphasise that our main resource is the people, it can be said that Singaporeans are, well, less "talented" than the other countries. We have to "copy" other shows and base our shows on successful franchises, and do not really produce our "own" programme that is really considered globally recognized.

Singapore Idol seemed rather mediocre. Didn't really see anyone who stood out from the rest. I think the judges are trying too hard to sound like Simon. The end result is everyone having a bit of nastiness in their comments but none of them stood out. There was this plump woman, i cannot remember her name, who could sing very well but just didn't make it. Bloody prejudice. Since when did being beautiful decide whether you can sing?
