another gloomy monday...



I think the ones that felt the lost most would be the ladies, in particular Ekin & Marsha. You can clearly see the bond they have with Idayu during the final moments when Idayu left the show last saturday. And as Syafinaz said, "penyingkirannya adalah kerugian besar kepada AF3 kerana kehilangan seorang penyanyi yang berkualiti dalam pertandingan itu sendiri". But its all history now and sadly, I dare say that history will repeat itself in the next few concerts to come unless the audience comes to their senses and not get over fanatical - which is somehow very unlikely too. I'm ready to see Amylea, Marsha, Akma & Ekin go no matter how good they will be for the coming concerts. Somehow the boys has a much stronger following than the girls, so I'm predicting they'll be more guys than girls in the final concert.

The best thing about Monday is the new tugasan. SM said he aint happy about the spoilers being posted by one of his many visitors as SM like the suprise element of the tugasan. Someone spoiled it for SM at about 5hrs before the evening Diari. And on this blog, someone actually mentioned about the Beautiful Maria song ought to be given to Mawi or Felix, just a day before the 4th concert! Did he know for sure about this weeks tugasan? Was he just lucky? Or maybe the Astro people actually browse to different blogs to look for song suggestions? Anyway, here are the list of the new tugasan for the 5th concert. I've made comments on some of them, some are short due to the fact that I havent heard it before.

Aidil - Senyuman Ragamu (Gerhana Ska Cinta)
Theres a Warren G rap verse in here?! And its given to the stiffest guy around? Nice! This oughta be fun!

Yazer - Takdir Penentu Segalanya (Jamal Abdillah)
He better not put so much of his husky voice into this, otherwise its gonna be another forgettable number.

Marsha - Bossanova (Pun Sri Saloma)
I think she'll have no problem at all with this song. Even seeing her in the normal Diari attire today trying out the song was quite good enough. Gosh! my gut feeling is acting up again! Must ignore gut feeling...must ignore....

Felix - Hari Ini Dan Semalam (J.Mizan)
An oldie that I hardly can recall. Sounds familar though. I guess I'm not that old after all! Hahaha....

Akma - Camar Yang Pulang (Aishah)
Hearing her trying out the song just now, I can tell shes gonna have problems with the chorus. But I think she'll be taught some technique to handle those parts.

Kefli - Berhenti Berharap (Sheila on 7)
Oh my. I just hope he wont slaughter this song so badly.

Ekin - Let’s Get Loud (J Lo)
Another fast tempo song for this sweety. The tutors are really pushing her no doubt, I just hope Ekin will take up the challenge and prove what shes worth.

Reza - Ala Emak Kahwinkan Aku (Zainodin Mat Dom)
I barely remember this song but I think its a fun song. Theres some acting needed to tell the story of the song. I hope Reza will be paying more attention to his vocals instead though.

Amy - Antara Anyer Dan Jakarta (Sheila Majid)
She does seemed to be struggling a bit with this song but again I;m sure as the week progresses, we'll see her finding ways to master this song.

Mawi - Beautiful Maria Of My Soul (Los Lobos)
One of my favourite song from a film that is worth to have in your collection. Mawi I admitt has the vocals for this but if he cant pronounce the words correctly it could be messy. But then again I'm sure his fanatics will clean it up for him right? Sad. Try and find the spanish version, its even a more soothing.

Amylea - Hak Milik Kekal (Linda Diana Rafar)
I think this is a no-brainer for here. I just her to 'bulatkan' her pronounciations. No doubt this will be fun to watch. She will sing it better than Linda would, if Adlin remarks were true.


And so we shall see how things will evovle. Hmmm... I just had some a nasty conspiracy theory. What if Idayu was deliberately kicked out because Astro wants to teach everyone a lesson so that they'll vote more for their favourites more. Its like, if Idayu whos so talented can be forced to leave, apalagi yang nyawa2 ikan?! Hehehe..... Thats just my head being silly really, so if you Astro people are reading, I meant that as a joke. Oh in the tradition of AF, this week I'm gonna have a kezutan of my own too! What is it? Hehehe.... you're just gonna have to stay tuned. Before I go, below is the lyrics and also midi file for Mawi's next tugasan, do you think he could handle those big words?
