Read: Desperate Singapore Idol wannabes

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/193999/1/.html

20-year-old Ryan How may have had a head-start to hit the right notes.

He sang in his school choir for 2 years and recently, he won an hour-long voice training session with official Idol voice coach, Babes Conde.

He was one of the 3 lucky winners who won an exclusive one-on-one session with the voice trainer picked from an SMS competition in January 2006.

Ryan said: “Within that one hour I was trained on like how to focus on my audience and my judges when I was singing so that helps, really helps.”

One of the talentless loser. I’m sure it really really helped.

23-year-old Elisha Suriani, who was first in line, spent 17 hours queueing.

Elisha said: “We have to sleep overnight so we pass the time by just practising, and also talking to other Idol contestants and joking.”

And in that 17 hours, I went out with my friends for a movie, had lunch and dinner with them, went home and completed my assignment and still have time to take a nap. I’m amazed how productive we are these days.

June Lim, who tried to sing a chord last season, attempted to sing a song this time round.

June said: “I came to Singapore Idol with a view of being William Hung, William Hung the Second, so this time round, it’s different, I want to be what I am, June.”

I never even heard of June, if I were her, I would rather stick to her initial view of being William Hung. She probably stand a higher chance of getting past the first round.

    Er, not sure if you realised, but the cartoon is in a language other than English, which means, lia bo kiew. (Catch no ball, get it?)

    And this is funny. They meant:

    “[He was one of the 3 lucky winners who won an exclusive one-on-one session with the voice trainer], [picked from an SMS competition in January 2006].”

    But it reads more like this:

    “[He was one of the 3 lucky winners who won an exclusive one-on-one session with] [the voice trainer picked from an SMS competition in January 2006].”

    So their voice trainer was picked from an SMS competition in Jan ‘06. I see.

    This is what you wrote about Ryan - “One of the talentless loser. IÂ’m sure it really really helped.”

    And here’s what i want to say to the real loser - YOU.
    Make such a comment only if you have heard him sing or the many others like him. And what exactly makes him a talentless loser? Because he thought the Babes Conde singing tips helped and whats wrong with that? Not gettin in doesnt make someone a loser, needless to say ‘talentless’. It is narrow minded, bigoted, loutish people like you that should be getting that label.

    It’s easy to talk trash. Please refrain from judging others unless you have the right credentials…
