One in a million

My normal Sunday routine is go to the market with my mother then have breakfast at my regular Chinese chicken rice shop, drive my mother to all her favorite 4D outlets KTM (Kuda Toto Magnum not Keretapi Tanah Melayu), then go to giant and buy our weekly groceries, go to gym and do some workout, then go for dinner with Ozy. But today was a bit different, I skipped the gym and decided to stay home for a change.

I turned on the TV and saw this program called “1 in a million” I’ve heard of it and seen the advertisement about it. Basically it’s just another star search TV show hoping to discover new talents. However I was surprise to see a few local artist who were also going for the audition, yes they are allowed to but.. Now we are looking at local artist who already have a recording contact and had produced their own albums in the past. We already know this people can sing and they are already singed to a recording company. Why do they want to participate in this competition? Hmmm interesting question… the catch is “1 million ringgit!” I think they plain selfish. They are quite confident that they have a better chance of winning this competition and they already have a their strong supporters to make sure they go all the way to the top. I strongly feel that it’s not fair. What about the normal people who are already in this competition? They are going to face the fact that they are going up against the local artist who are already trained by professional vocal coach. What chances do they have in this competition?

Can you imagine if this person gets kicked out of the competition? It’s embarrassing. They already have talent and everyone knows they can sing… the recording labels have already acknowledged them that’s why they have their own albums and contracts! The producers and sponsors of this show should just cancel this show.. give the 1 million to Jaclyn Victor, produce and international cover album for her… that’s worth the money!

I just feel that it’s ridiculous that these local artist for even enrolling themselves into this competition. They already have a career, they had their shiny moment in the spot light… show some professionalism… give these new talents a break and let them shine!
