On Singapore Idol
I am furiously APPALLED by the fact that Joakim Gomez is still in Singapore Idol (SI)! WHY??!!
Seriously, loyal teenage fans of Gomez, please use your common sense.
Do you really want him to stay on and embarrass himself every single week with his feeble singing? Don't sabo him leh... SPARE him from national embarrassment and spare me from the injustice I feel every week for the good singers.

Hady Mirza and Mathilda D'Silva are the only ones I think deserve the title of Singapore Idol. So please, those who have many 60 cents to vote, please vote for them! They will make Singapore proud.

Oh yea, Kit Chan came onstage for SI to sing "Home" and let me tell you, she is excellent stuff. I thought it was lip-sync until she took the microphone away from her and urged the audience to sing with her. Wow! She is good!

Anyway did you guys notice how crudely obvious they employ the marketing tactic of PRODUCT PLACEMENT in SI's music video? Creative was hugely zoomed in one of the scenes for the music vid. They try too hard. Really. And it makes it so uncool.
Be subtle. Like the MacBook.
MacBooks are always harmlessly in the backgrounds of movies. When the A-listers' characters use them in the movies, it makes us all go...
"Hey, this is cool."

So my suggestion to Creative is to up its "cool" factor by getting up and rising popular bands/artistes like Electrico or Ronin to plug it. After all, it is about music, so they should get music artistes involved. Don't put a Panda there in their ads! For what? To make it cute? For crying out loud, listening to music is NOT about cute, it's about "Cool".
If you can't beat them, join them. Mr Sim, if you can't beat Steve(Jobs of Apple empire), join him.

My Name is Earl
The one show you need to make you laugh like never before. Here is the timing for it:
Saturdays, 10pm on Mediacorp Channel 5.

Encouragement for all
Love the Lord, all his saints!
The Lord preserves the faithful,
but the proud he pays back in full.
Be strong and take heart,
all you who hope in the Lord.
Psalm 31:23-24
