Singapore Idol

"You know joakim, i never like ur singing and always wonder why u still on stage till this far. But miraclely, yesterday when you were announced out, i was kinda sad. VERY sad. Your passion in singing make people loves you so much. You are a very very very strong man and i believe you have gone through really alot alot. I wonder a man 18 can be so tough...HAH good luck and thanks for believing and keep on believing what you can do for others. You sort of gives hope to people and sent the message "don't give up" to you and the crowd! Maybe you wasn't this strong behind closed door, but who cares? CHEERS babe! And now, i know and understand why you were on stage till this far!"

This was the letter i sent to him, Joakim Gomez.; the top 5 of Singapore Idol.

This guy, was discriminated by the judges, the audience and all. Imagine the judges said " Your fans should allowed you to dignified an exit for this competition" " I request for 3secs silence from the audience...Jaokim, this sounds so much better than when you are singing" "Why do you keep doing that(silent with finger on the mouth)?" Joakim answered "to calm myself down" and Dick Lee said "And i feel like doing that to you when you were singing" "Try to sing inside the bathroom and watch your behind notes...you are going off keys all the while and i bet you didn't even realised.." "We are tired of telling you how to improve week after week but you wasn't improving yourself at all. So i have nothing to say" " It didn't work for me"

And this monkey, he cooly, strongly, smiles on tv, keep working hard and enjoying his every moment on stage without shreding a tear. Taking things easy and believes that he is worth the vote from his fan till the last second on stage. I'm amazed at how he keeps that huge smile plastered on his face week after week, slam after slam. Even after the discouraging vox pops, the criticism from the judges, the attack from the public, the non-discreet disapproval from Gurmit, & EVEN the trailers, he is still grinning & doing his thang. That, I salute him.

I thought he may be just pretending, acting strong. How can a person be so strong at the age of just 18 (same with me) ? If he is acting, who cares? He IS strong at least to act strong out. Its never easy...

Can you imagine a feeling that before his performance started, his fans all shouted for him with Gurmit Sigh(the host), then after his singing and judges commenting, his fans weren't even dare to appear on tv anymore. Can you feel the disapointment? The sad? The embarrassment and the feeling like losing hope?

I just found out that his parents were divorced and being together again just to see their son on Singapore Idol top 5. How beautiful is that? :)

HAh, if you asked me how is his singing, like in the letter i sent to him, i tell you, his singing trully sucks! Not like "she bangs from William Hung" but is like a simply guy you pick up from the street. Or maybe worse... But his "my cherie armour" keep playing on my mind now i donno why! HAH maybe i've fall in love...

Ahaaa, I've given Joakim my blog address. Hope that busy monkey won't drop by. amen. But if you read this Joakim, errrr hah, you are free to comment and slam me back :p. WEEE i would like to know you were here before at least...muaaaahahahha
