Matilda was booted out ... was it a surprise ?
A Long time ago, I told a friend of mine, the 2 older contestants will be voted out much sooner than the rest of the contestants.
Ken Lim, one of the judges of the competition, Singapore Idol 2, also mentioned during one of the shows that he hoped the 2 contestants Jay Lim and Matilda will get to stay longer in the competition because the 2 has got good singing techniques, which he hopes the others will learn from.
So, I would say that ken has already expected this elimination even though he wished for them to go further in the competition.
I knew these 2 contestants would be voted out not because they cannot sing well, but rather because they are older and do not appeal to the mass of people who are voting for them.
The age group of viewers who watch Singapore Idols are mostly people who are in the primary to the secondary school, thus it is no wonder that the older contestants often do not find themselves well favoured.
They are also booted out because they lacked the charisma on the telly.
Do you think that you were once touched by their performance or do you feel like it is just another person singing?
if one is a good singer, you will be able to sway the masses with your performance, electrifying or not.. you will be able do it with your delivery of the songs.
I felt the sense of lost and remorse when Jonathan Leong delivered, "Dance with my father" I was almost moved to tears - even though his pronouciation of certain words were muffled.
I felt the electricity when MAtilda delivered her song during the british songs week. I forgot the title but it was a truly diva-ish performance.
I do not feel this when JAsmine is singing, I do not feel this either when Jay Lim is singing. In fact, these days when I listen to Robbie william's Love supreme I shudder when I think of Jay's delivery of this same song.
I shudder when I hear the theme song of F.r.i.e.n.d.s being played on the radio because i cnanot forget the way Jochim Gomez sang the song.
Therefore, I think sometimes the audience who are watching and voting for their singapore idol are voting for them blindly rather than voting for them according to their talent.
If this goes on, I dread to see who will emerge winner of Singapore Idol 2.
