Singapore Idol went on air last week and the standard is really appalling. The two stand out contestants so far Johnathan and Paul Twohill are just average singers. Johnathan who the judges are raving about and the tv station is trying to position as a hunk is just an avg joe. Sometimes when he looks at the camera, he really looks "duh".

Paul Twohill has more personality but his messy hair is starting to get on my nerves. I remember seeing videos of malaysian idol last year and the standard was much better.
