So can they really make it big out there?

First and foremost, I'd just like to say everyone has their talents and there's plenty of 'em out there; waiting to be discovered - like hidden talents. Nobody's born a star unless you're some deformed human being (no offence.) Everyone goes though a a phase - a struggle - just to make it big regionally. Then comes the real deal.

See, I listen to alot of international artistes and I do compare the regional vs the global. It is difficult for one, especially regional to beat global artistes because personally, some don't give a damn about you just because you're not white. That's unfair. Period.

Me, I do dream to be some big superstar who rolls down Hollywood in a chic limousine, accessorized with Xbox 360 and a plasma screen TV, or even with cable installed in. That's "the life". Back to reality, I may not accomplish that given the fact that 1) I'm Malay and almost every Malay adult will criticize my dressings 2) I'll have to have a part time job to pay for studio recording sessions.

This whole bull Idol fever started out with Pop Idol (Britain). Ah, see some of you might be thinking "but I thought it was American Idol?" That's where you're wrong. Simon Cowell didn't just pop out of nowhere and wanted to judge American Idol. He's the original judge from Pop Idol.

Now that Singapore Idol is over, I'm just so relieved! This year's season of Singapore Idol was very predictable. It was almost like deja vu. What the heck is wrong with the world now?! Oh and speaking of deja vu, everyone in the idol scene's being compared to someone more popular/famous by the day.

All in all, I'm not saying that you can't try making it big for the real deal. I'm just saying that there's a fairly slim chance for you.

My advice: Work hard, stay focused, be original.
