Stacy - Born to be a singer?

At last, after 5 previous attempts, a Sabahan made it to the top spot! Ogy (Datuk Fauziah Ahmad Daud), one of the permanent jury for AF6 was quoted saying "Stacy! You was born to be a singer!" I can't deny the talent she has and of course she delivered a very very impressive vocal control as well as performance. I am really proud of her and Sabah. All this while, many Sabahans were trying to get to the top spot of any singing competition in Malaysia but failed (always 2nd place and so on..). I think 2008 is the year for Malaysian especially in Peninsular to establish how unique and talented Sabahan people is. First, it was Ayu that won the One In A Million who defeated the kind of already popular singer, Siti Sarah and...what is her name ah...the daughter of veteran singer Andy Lala.

I was a little disappointed by the fact that Nadia won the 5th spot instead of Toi! Astro made a really big mistake when AC Mizal (Astro) showed the up-to-date position right after the 1st round finished (I still remember when Aznil was the host, he actually asked students to go inside/backstage). Nadia was placed at 5th, and it was obvious that she was affected by that (moral down...) Her 2nd song was so-so although she delivered a good vocal and performance then her face expression was there..sadness..*Nadia..kalu ko 5th tetap cute juga..ehe..

Stacy, who sung a song made popular by Indonesian artist Rossa and a new song composed by non-popular composer (new composer), has her vocal prowess to make the night belongs to her and she really pulled it. Adlin was heard saying people voted her because of her talent (voice) not because of her personality, popularity or others. It was a good statement Adlin! In her 2nd song (Aku Stacy), Stacy sung it very well especially when she hits the climax with her husky voice. Wow! Awesome! Congratulation Stacy!

I have this gutsy felling about her talent though. She won the AF6 because she competes with not very talented fellow students (Well compared to her...most of them are below par). If she were in Malaysian Idol..I think she couldn't make it..(based on my own personal observation of contestants in Malaysian Idol 1st and 2nd season). Having said that, next mission would be Malaysian Idol. Come on Sabahan! We need someone who is above Ayu and Stacy!

AF6 Finale

For the first time (Sh*t!), am posting about AF! I can't help it..LoL.. Am sure every Malaysian knows that tonight is the Finale of Academy Fantasia Season 6. The major question is "Who will win AF6?". As for me, I'd prefer the question of "Who deserved to win the AF6?" instead. Most of us had seen and followed AF since it was aired back in 2003 and thought...some of the winners were actually won the No.1 singing competition in Malaysia based on luck. Was it really luck and popularity rather than talent itself...I'll leave it to you to valuate.

I thought, singing competition is supposed to be won by the best singer and performer but instead I found it quite amusing when some winners were not really that talented. Take a good example of American Idol in its 7th season of good quality and equally talented. The duel between Davids was mesmerizing and unbelievable. It hits a new record of a total votes more than 90 million votes compared to the previous season which was 20 million votes lesser. What would happen to AF6 tonight? Will it hits another high votes record?

I watched and followed most of this season AF concerts as well as its diaries..(inda la melakat dapan tv mau tinguk diaries..lol) I found, there are only 3 students who really deserve to be in the Finale..My valuation is based on talent alone and I think one of them will be the winner or most probably, these 3 would conquer the top 3 spot.

Stacie Angie Anam (Stacy)

She has always delivered a good performance throughout the competition from week 1 onwards and most critics were good towards her. She's versatile enough to sing numerous genre but tend to shout when she hits a high pitch note. Frankly speaking, she has a very nice tone (smokey and husky I think if you call it) and able to compete with our current artists in the Music Industry as long as she picks suitable and right songs. * Stacy la manang ni..hehe..

Nadia Haswani Binti Hasnan (Nadia)

She's doing well and not bad at all. One thing that makes her stand among others would be her singing style, versatility and her figure. She's a small size girl but her voice is bigger than what would we expected from that form. Similar to Stacy, she also has delivered quite numbers of good performance. I think her voice suites for Modern rock/Alternative genre

Mohammed Idris Bin Mohd. Zaizizi (Riz)

Since the beginning, I thought he would be the only main contender of male participants/group and I was right. Well..he has lots of experience in singing competitions in his pocket. Not sure how many awards he had won but he has always able to deliver several good performance. The fact that many girls like him,
that could be his main weapon to win AF6. Good voice but not quite like able (character problem)
