Singapore Idols 2006 Season 2

ken's comments are always so boring, he just gives constructive criticism but never praises anyone of them. Even Simon knows how to praise people, seems like no one is good enough for ken....meh!
 
maybe he's trying to be a singapore version of Simon,but not in a cool way.sometimes i dont really care about the judges' comments.
and,i kinda like Twohill.oh yeah.

if you see american idol,most of the contestants can sing,know the technique and have lots of experience/professional
singapore idol,imo,most of them dunno much bout singing technique and no stamina,just go for fun and hope something will happen to them,if one of the top5 contestants from last season join this season singapore idol,they confirm can win already,the standard suddenly drop like hell...
 
yea, american idol's ppl either gig regularly, or sing in the church choir. but sg one... haii... tho i know paul and jon gigs.. but haii...
 
america is a country where lots of people sing for a living,
and since young, most of them will try their luck on singing.

if you can't study in US, you can try other things.


In Singapore when you are young - STUDY STUDY STUDY!!!
