American Idol

Crossing Dressing.

I don't understand what's with some of top local Chinese comedians - They cross-dressed. Probably the TV producers think it is funny and good for their TV rating. They must have believed Singaporeans laugh at men who dress up as women.

American Idol

Just saw "American Idol III". I couldn't believe how deaf is deaf, and how blind is blind. Some just cannot sing and still think they are going to be the next American Idol. Some of their singing are so painful to the ears, yet they think they are God's gift to America.

Simon can be boring with same bland words like "You are terrible. You cannot sing".

I'm sure he can be more witty with his sarcasm such

"You have a nice voice and I am sure your family will enjoy your singing. But at the national level, your chances is 1 in a million. Sorry...", or

"You dress well, dance well, but your voice is just not strong enough", or

"your vocal range is not wide enough. Not suitable for us..."

But I like the part when he challenged the singers to sing in public and find their supporters. I like the part when Simon was so nice to the midget lady. She may be physically small, but she certainly has a big heart. She has turn her disadvantage into her advantage. Cos she is different from the rest, she stands out. Oh she is so cute and adorable.

Most of the Chinese singers were terrible, terrible, terrible. They can't sing, they can't dance, they forget their lines, and they cannot pronounce the lyrics. I think the producers should launch the "The American Idiot" to feature the worst singers. That would be entertaining!

However, one of the most touching moment was the Vietnamese contestant. His parent came to America in a refugee boat in 1980. The father spoke with tears, about seeking opportunity in America that he risked ihs life in the 2-week journey by sea. And now he hoped his son will get this opportunity too to make good. His son became the first male that day to win a ticket to Hollywood. I jumped and danced in joy for him.
