danile lee, out very own 2nd malaysian idol has come out with his first single with his winning song
MIMPI..... what do i think about it? i think it's great!ok, i don't think a lot of people will agree with me, but hey, i personally feel that he deserves the win, maybe not from the aspect of singing when compared to the runner-up, nita! i remembered that one of the judges did mentioned something like "
we shall see if he(referring to daniel) could turn the 1.2 million votes in sales...." well, hey! i can tell u that he is capable of doing that! why do i say so? well, look! the single has just been released today n i can actually download that song today itself!! what does this tell u?? ..... maybe this suggest that " hey, there are people who's buying his single n those 1.2 million votes actually relect the supports that we gave to him. it's not just mere votes to make him win, but it shows that we do like his singing, tho not as good as nita's!!
ok... i haven't get his singles yet, but i will, that's for sure!! i think it's no doubt that nita can sing (in a way) better than daniel. she has got the strength n the experience that one needs in order to deliver a good performance. she's got the strength n power in singing, comparable to jaclyn victor (last year's malaysian idol)... but i think she's still quite far away from being the next jac victor even with all those good qualities. why? in my opinion, i think nita only has the stength in singing and nothing more than that. yes, u need great stamina n strength to sing, but that's not all that it takes to be an
IDOL! i feel that she can' t really present the songs very well in a way... on top of that, which is also the most important thing that matters me most:
SHE CANNOT SPEAK IN ENGLISH!!! people, if u've watched the press conference after the finals when the media popped up questions in english, she doesn't seem to understand what they r asking for, and definitely, she can't answer them. do u actually want an idol who can only speak malay and nothing else just to reflect her nationality (malaysian!!!= orang tanah MELAYU). one of the judges even say that she has the international singer look! at one glance, i totally agree, but later on i realised she looked just like other night club entertainers... i don't mean club singers, but more like those PRs.... no offence people, but that's what i really think. what we r looking for (or rather what i'm looking for) is an idol! a person which will make u go
goo-gaa over him or her. i definitely want my idol to be an all rounder; ability to perform, speak, knwoledgeable n pleasant/descent/proper looking.
daniel may not have what it takes to be a good singer but he does have other qualities of being an idol. he definitely can sing, n that's why he can survive in the competition till the finals. whoever thinks that he cannot sing, please try joining the competition next year and tell me how easy or difficult it is to even get thru thr pre-liminary rounds. i think people should give daniel a chance (for those who have supported nita). he's still new in singing compared to nita. yes, he studies about music, but hey, he didn't study about singing, ok? he may be able to compose songs n etc, but he will still need to learn how to sing. so, give him a chance, and at the same time accept the fact that
he is the 2nd malaysian idol!
