Ok I'm going straight to the review. I'm sure you guys can find a blow-by-blow report of the event through the links available on this blog, so I wont waste time going into details.AKMA - Looking sweet and modestly demure, she looks sooo leggy with that red pants. She started quite alright. She obviously could handle the song. I think she is pobably the most consistent female students at the moment. Her performances so far shows how determine she is. The only bit she needs to work on is her camera play the way Marsha does, I'm sure she'll find a lot of attention. 3.75/5.
AIDIL - I guess its a pretty much a safe performance. I still find him stiff and botoxicated (if theres such thing). The song is just right for his vocals so it aint so much of a challenge. He seemed quite excited, maybe happy with Aznil teasing him about Amy. Anyways, an average performance. 2.5/5.
MARSHA - She looks sweet in tudong when they showed that clip of her teasing Mawi. Mawi didnt even seem to recognise her at first but I think Mr. Werrll likes the look. Anyways, Marsha finally lets her voice out. Even Ning says she has an original voice. Some people has been saying that she has a squeky voice but I guess thet've been proving wrong. Her usual inviting glances made her act quite enjoyable and captivating too. 4.25/5.AMY - A very disappointing effort. It seems she couldnt hold herself together. She slipped a tone and then somehow never recovered her composure. I wonder what was she thinking about. She was out of tune and all over. Even Abg Man said he cant feel it. I guess she had herself to herself for her exit. 2/5.
REZA - Quite a lively performance but I think he over did it with those unnecessary blabbering in between his "singing". His act probably crossed over a bit to the Senario vibe. He is lucky that this song doesnt really need so much vocals technique. I admitt it was an enjoyable but I dont think it did much to repair his previous performances 2.5/5.
YAZER - Overdoing on the facial expression dude. Its getting a bit boring for me now. He did alright with this song and finally theres none of his usual husky-rocker tone. I'm sure he was tempted to belt it out though. A very safe performance. 3/5.
AMYLEA - Shes definately the best dancer in the Akademi this time around. And vocally she is packed with suprises. This candy-pop song doesnt seem so much of a challenge to her, despite being a duo number. The rap bit is just too little, should've been longer. I noticed shes still gobbling her pronounciation, I hope she'll work on that. 4/5.
MAWI - His first try at an english number. Not bad at all but I dont really understand why he messes up at the most critical part of the song. I thought it was just a one time error but it happened throughout the song! But despite the multiple error, he still got the
fanatical cheers and maintained his percentage by the end of the show. if it was anyone else, I'm sure they'll get a backlash for this under-performance. It was suprising to me to see Kudsia having that Adlin critical mode, reminding mawi that despite his seluruh malaysia popularity, it would be better if he is popular because of his performance, not just because of popularity sakes. You might say its not his fault but of his blind fanatics vote. True but Mawi should also rise to the occasion and try to match that support given to him by giving a faultless performance. I see nothing special in his performance last night. 2.5/5.
EKIN - She really made an effort this time around. I think we've probably heard the power of her voice and the highest note she can handle. I was so scared she might tergelincir physically with those high heels and also vocally when it came to that high pitch bit, but like Ning said, she sounded like a professional singer. She showed a fair amount of attitude but I hope to see that more. Ekin just needs to work on her diction more. 4/5.KEFLI - A rare powerful performance from him. Will this be shortlived? I hope not. The feel he projected for this song is so touching that he made Kudsia cried for the first time this season. Honestly I was very doubtful (& I'm sure thousands more too) that he would survived the song but I'm glad he proved me wrong. Kudos to you. I hope this performance will lift his spirit to do even more better. Definately, the best performance of the night. 4.5/5.
FELIX - After that touching performance by Kefli, Felix managed to bring back the smiles on everyones face. This song seemd to be perfect for him, is there any song that he cant handle? His effortless style somethimes makes you geram right? Hoepfully for the next concert, he'll be given an english song, since vocally he is almost dominating, lets hear him try to concentrate on such things as diction. 4/5.
And I guess the rest as they say is history, Amy & Reza was eliminated. I just dont quite understand why the double exit though. But I'm sure quite a number of people are satisfied with this result and I myself can see the logic in this. Although I would've preffered seeing Aidil joining Reza instead. Oh, the cheering when Reza name was announced,is really unnecessary.
Ok, I hope this relatively short review is alright for all. I have a theory about this why this double elimination. I'll cover it sometime soon, I wanna do some evaluation about its sensibility first. Till then, cya!
