Singapore Idol
I managed to catch the re-run of the first audition for Singapore Idol last night. Many thanks to Gu who called me. I've read about the funny antics of some of the Idol-wannabes,so immediately I rushed to switch on the TV set and my newly-purchased DVD recorder.
Titles have already been affectionately bestowed on some of the rejects. They are (ta da!)....

Male Stripper : Steven entered the scene in a Gladiator outfit and started stripping as he sang "She Bangs". He was down to his Yellow Speedo when he finished. I've heard of him even before he made this appearance. He has a website announcing his self-proclaimed titles of "The Hunk" and "The Most Handsome Guy in Singapore" and his profession? The Street-Eye-Brow-Plucker!
Careless-Whisperer : The message "This is the original sound level. Do not adjust the TV" flashed across the TV screen as Patrick did a politically correct version of Wham's "Careless Whisper"... in whisper! He mentioned something about the song should be sung using the stomach (??!!). All 4 judges begged for him to stop even though they couldn't hear a thing. But he was really polite and humbly asked for advice on how he could improve. He was very persistent and even tried variations of his whispers. Ken (one of the judges) told him that in order for them to make any suggestion, they would first need to be able to hear him. He came out of the audition room looking confused and wondering why the judges wouldn't give him any comments.
Percussionist : Her dangling ear-rings swing to the beat of her song. We could all hear the ear-rings, but we couldn't hear her. In fact I couldn't even recall what she sang.
Oxy-5 : He wrote the song himself. Something about squeezing pimples. Oxy-5 acne wash ought to use it as an advertisment jingle. Way to go!
Para-Para-Lemon-Tree : Para-para-Sakura, a dance made popular by a HK singer Aaron Kwok. Lemon Tree, a song made popular by Fools Garden. Kelvin managed to put these two (possibly the 2 most irritating performances) together and present to national TV "Para Para Lemon Tree"! You'll have to see it to believe it. William Hung, eat your heart out!
There are others, Rapper, Slapper, Disciplinary-master, Watermelon-banana-man. I've uploaded the clips to my website. Will provide links later.
