If I can I recall correctly I was never a fan of the Malaysian Idol, however as I was seated in front of the TV on Saturday night, flipping through the Astro channels, I stumbled upon the Asian Idol for the first time on channel eight. I saw the Indonesian Idol, Mike Mohede’s performing and was mesmerized with his beautiful voice. He has that soothing voice that makes one's legs go all wobbley…to think of it, he sounds a little bit like Glen Fredley. hehe!
The Asian Idol contest comprises of the six idols from the Asian countries ie, Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia, India, Malaysia and Philippines competing amongst each other to win the Asian Idol title. They were all pretty good with their own individual strength, be it their voice, personality, looks, power and energy.
Although I never really fancied our very own Jaclyn Victor but I really thought she would stand the chance to win the first Asian Idol yesterday. But then again when I saw her perform, I felt a tad bit disappointed, she did not communicate well with the audience and her voice I would say “timbul and tenggelam” most of the time. She looked as though she was in her own world and her voice was not consistent through out the night. There are times when her vocals sounded powerful and strong and there are other times when I could not hear her at all. Just not like the powerful Jac we always see on TV. Even when she did the “duet” with Hady Mirza (Singapore Idol) he managed to outshine her.

My personal fave is Mike Mohede from Indonesia. I thought Mike would win and honestly did not expect it minutes later when they announced Hady Mirza to be the first Asian Idol. I cannot deny the fact that Hady deserves to win as well as he has his own style. When he sings, no matter what the song is, he does it his way. I guess that is definitely a plus point for him as I am sure that is what got him more votes apart from his looks and humble approach.

My personal favourite, Hady and Zainal singing Hijau (APM2007)

i watched the sunday show too. Hady's winning tu memang shocking la becoz the juries all predicted Mike, Jac or Mau to win it.
i guess Hady tu pun habis2 terkejut sampai terus terduduk hehehe.
