Time and time again I look for signs that tell me that Singaporeans are not that superficial, that are not that shallow. However time and time again I get the opposite. Of course I am writing about Sg Idol. I try not to whine too much about the results but this is just something I have to get out somewhere.

Look at Fantasia sing. Look at Ruben sing. Look at Clay Aiken sing. Look at Destiny Tobing sing.

And then look at Sylvester sing.

I feel that he has been riding on his boyish charms, good looks, that silly smile to advance into the finals. Yeah he can sing rock. But then again look at Bon Jovi. Look at Gn'R. Can he compare to them? I have my doubts. Olinda can sing better than him, hit higher notes than him, longer vibrato and is versetile. She can sing Jazz, Rock and roll, Pop, and musicals very well. Sylvester on the other hand either flunked or barely pulled through. So I cannot understand why she went out and he stayed on.

Remember when David Yeo was kicked out by Christopher? Exactly. Who can say without doubt that Christopher sang better than David? Again the packaging came before the substance.

Go, Taufik, Go.
