wah...can't believe so much hype...my insurance agent came to my house and first thing he ask is can switch on TV to watch the show...!
american idol worse enough but now singapore also join in the melee.

sigh....anyway, good to see SP exercise some camaraderie for their students...at least its a positive sign...hope to see the Astro Club get some airtime on the main page as well....keep it up you guys!

And those girls...man...if they were queuing to buy an 8" scope at $50, yes lah..but.......?

Who do I think should win? *Me* of course. I could use the prize money to buy an 8" goto scope. I think my needs are more urgent than theirs. They will waste the money buying handphones, hair dyes, hair gels, beauty creams, ear rings, nose rings...I will buy an eye to the universe...isn't that more important??

Haha, actually taufik needs to win (and deserves to). He comes from a not so well off family. He's living with his brothers and mum only and she is a cleaner who have to work like 12 hours per day to support the family.

Not that we should give him some sympathy votes but I really think he's the better singer out of the final two. He's a great performer plus he is humble. :)

:) I sort of agree.

Yesterday channel 8 2300 show say got a girl, 22 yr old, buy 5 SIM card to send 2500 votes for slyvester, until hp no batt then stop. Also, they camp outside mediacorp bustop at night, hoping to get a glimpse of sly. They say they see 1 second of sly also happy. When ask how many hr they sleep a day, the girl say 3 hr, she used to it already. I think even astronomer also never sleep so little a day for astro, not to say the girl for sly.

Though I'm not voting, I hope taufik will win.

you know..i feel sad for the parents of these gals. I know it's all part of growing up, once they reach a certain age, this will dies naturally in them. But this gal is already 22....and the money and time she has could be put to better use. Why waste all the youth, money, time, for a view of a man who will hardly notice you? There should be a line between idolising and reality.

Come this time next year, Sly will be forgotten and it will be another guy. Why take it so seriously? Really couldn't understand what's running in these gals' mind. Interestingly, it's always the gals who are heavily involved in all these idol thing. The guys really can't be bothered.

well.. we must still bear in mind that singapore idol is not only about singing. it is on how the participants go about attracting the viewers.

Hi its not $125, its $1250, cos 2500/2=1250. That's why, as VinSnr mentioned(also shown in show), she had to go flea market to sell her things:(
