Faisal Isa is the next Singapore Idol
So I finally decided to check out the Singapore Idol Season 3 clips on YouTube, and I'd like to make a bold prediction. FAIZAL ISA will win Singapore Idol 3.
Why do I say this? It's glaringly obvious that the 3rd Singapore Idol will, following in the footsteps of Taufik Batisah and Hady Mirza, also be a Malay male. There are two simple reasons for this- female teenagers, and Malay solidarity. The Malay community in Singapore is by far the strongest and most tight-knit, and will definitely spend much more time and money to vote for one of their own. I'm guessing a good 80% of the votes come from 20% of the voters, which pretty much sums up the Malay teenage-girl phenomenon.
Of course, Faizal isn't going to win simply because he's a Malay guy. He's got the looks, he's got the charisma, and most importantly, he already looks like Idol material. When I first saw him, I thought he was a Jason Mraz wannabe because he was singing a Jason Mraz song and wearing that trademark Jason Mraz hat. But he impressed me with his growth as a performer, which clearly suggests that he knows what he wants and what he has to do to reach that dream. Granted, I could be cynical and say that he's simply getting out of one cliché mold and jumping into another, but that would be undermining the amount of effort and dedication it takes. Besides, he's a young kid and has a lot of room to grow.
To whoever you are, thank you for your kind words from us, Faizal Fanclub.
To those who wanna make Faizal Isa your next Singapore Idol, do not forget to vote for him tomorrow! It's gonna be an awesome spectaculars!
