Ever watched Akademi Fantasia? Honestly speaking, I am never a fan of this kind of show. First of all, Malay songs and Malay singers don't impress me that much. And all those old singing contests such as Sinaran has never been able to produce excellent singers. I'm sorry but Senario is never particularly an A class entertainers.
But recently, I noticed that music industry in Malaysia has improved gradually. I came back to Malaysia last year summer and got to know some of the newcomers, whom to my surprise have impressive vocals. I am still a no big fan of many Malaysian songs but I cannot deny of the strong vocals these newcomers posess.
I've started watching Akademi Fantasia last year when I have the mercy to hang out at my best friend's house often and get a glimpse of Astro. Quite interestingly, I found that many of the contestants were good singers. And the way Astro approached this reality show is very unique. This year Akademi Fantasia is even better. I have the chance to watch some of Week 3 & Week 4 concerts, downloaded via a website and I quite enjoyed the performance. They even pulled out dance moves this year! You should definitely pay attention to Zahid (especially), Linda and Zarina as I think these three are the most exceptional. Things really have changed since I left for the States, huh?
It's good that Malaysia now has many local talented singers. I just wish we can have excellent Malay songs too. |
