I watched Singapore Idol last night in an almost agonizing pain. No, it's wasn't entirely because of the contestants themselves. The stage was a horror. If you want to make it somewhat like those stages in American Idol, make sure there's enough room for the contestants to roam about and really 'own' the stage. Otherwise, eliminate the idea of having 'fans' there. It looks like some kinda getais with better lighting.
And if they expect the contestants to sing and dance, why give them a microphone which require one hand to hold? Our contestants are not Lady Gaga nor Chris Brown. They merely had one week odd to rehearse and probably learn their basics for dance. Since we all know that they aren't exactly up to it yet, why didn't anyone make sure that they can perform w/o having the discomfort of trying to 'juggle' the microphone while they sing and do some chikabombom at the same time?
I feel really sorry for the contestants because they didn't have any background vocals to assist them at all. "Crazy in Love" sounds so bad because if you are clever enough, you would know that a messy song arrangement requires very strong vocal arrangement and Tab herself couldn't possibly do it even if she has eight vocal folds. Talk about "Lovestoned" and the rest.
It really does only take no more than a retard to tell that the girls sing better. If a fella was to win, may I suggest that we do not have another season of Singapore Idol. The thought of knowing that Singapore votes so blindly really irritates me. If this was to happen, I will swear myself off the entire Channel 5, not just the Idols.
