Well, yesterday turned out somewhat fun. Deepa akka ( my cousin) and I had planned on Fri to spend the Sunday window shopping at Mega Mall.... and then we get a call from our aunt inviting us for a talent show at Astro that evening ( Avatharam Arambam Heats 2). Our little couzie Sheena was taking part.
So pusing sini , pusing sana......mega mall cancelled, we ended up at Jusco Bkt Tinggi...and left to Astro at 6pm with her family and mine.
Well, I must say that this was a very good experience, getting to see the recording done and how the production unit handles the show.Pretty interesting.
There were 6 participants in total , 3 boys and 3 girls. I was amazed to see the confidence in this kids. They definitely did not seem nervous on stage.Everyone performed quite well and entertained us with their dance and singing. Was a little shocked with the results though cause Sheena did not make it into the final 3
Not to seem bias, but I personally thought Sheena was a better singer among the lot. I guess the judges were looking out more for stage presence and a crowd puller. It was a pity that she was given a slow song and she was not able to dance "vigorously" like the others, but her voice was definitely better.
No harm done,cause this experience will help prepare her for the competition next year.
Well , about the show itself....the host is a well known Malaysian actor -Logan...and the girl was Rani / Raji errrr...I forgot . Anyway , it was a good combo. He was very funny and spontaneous and she was allright.But I wish they kick her stylist cause her dressing was hideous.
Logan was very down to earth and did not have a high- nose like some of the Malaysian artist I have come across.Seriously.... this so call Malaysian artist whose talent is questionable start behaving like some Hollywood superstar just after appearing on one telemovie, or song sequence.
Logan on the other hand, obliged to take photographs ....many photographs...with us and was joking with the crowd after the show.Nice person.
Anyway.....it was a fun fun fun day.........we ended it with dinner cum supper in Puchong before heading back to our respective homes.
I wish Sheena was selected, then I would deffinitely go for the Semi Finals recording ....and Finals for sure.....nvm nvm....there is always NEXT YEAR !!!
