Who's the First?
Written by Blogtopia on 11:27 AMMike To Asian Idol Integrity Convention Center was crowded with many supporters of Delon, Mike, Rini, and Ihsan. Each of them busy with attributes to let their Idols know how much they are loved. When asked, why Mike should win, Polly, his aunt and leader of the supporters answered, Mike has unique voice and ready to compete internationally. We used to be busy with SMS to vote for him, but this time were just going to let the people decide. Im sure audience know well enough who deserves to win. Christine, a Deloners, said that Delon should win. Hes handsome and has a nice voice, kind, and always consider his fans as friends. Same thing goes with Rini and Ihsans supporters.
While the fans yell for their Idols outside, behind the stage, the four of them is stressed out and nervous beyond means since the morning they arrived at the venue. Yesterday I was not nervous at all. But today is different. Im more nervous. Probably because its more challenging, Rini explained. Delon, on the other side, said I dont feel nervous. I will perform like in any other show.
Ihsan said, I havent been judged for a long time. I hope I can do good, while Mike decided to leave his fate to God. I have trained, and trying, so now I will leave the rest to God.
Fifteen minutes before the show started, backstage is getting busier. Ucie Nurul started to pray with the four winners of Indonesian Idol, to ask God so they can perform best.
After Daniel and Ata open the show, the four Idols sang Di Penghujung Muda (Samsons), Breakthrough (Nidji), Zamrud Khatulistiwa (Chrisye) as the opening medley. First appearance was Delon with the song Broken Vow by Josh Groban. Indra Lesmana said that tonight he looked more mature and much better than he used to be. Second act was Mike with the song Sempurna from Andra & the Backbone. Jamie said, Like the title, you are perfect. Ihsan then sang Angel from Robbie Williams. Anang commented that, You sang a song that matched your character. Last act for the first round was Rini who that night sang Andai Aku Bisa. Indra Lesmana said, You are the youngest but your voice is the most powerful.
On second round, Mike got the most praise from judges when he sang I Believe I Can Fly. Indra Lesmana said that Mike is the one that deserves to represent Indonesia in Asian Idol. Delon chose Mistikus Cinta from Dewa and didnt perform the song very well. Anang gave an advice for him not to be overly confident.
Ihsans overall performance was graded stable by all three judges, but that alone was not enough to go through to Asian Idol. Rini looked charming and energetic with the song Crazy In Love by Beyonce.
At press conference after the show ended, Indra Lesmana highlighted, Ive watched all Asian Idol finalists sang, except Vietnam. Ive seen Mike sang on Jazz festival, and even Chaka Khan and Dave Koz wanted to know, who was performing. This shows that Mike was able to represent Indonesia in Asian Idol.
Above all, that was just predictions. To decide who deserves to go to Asian Idol, watch Pilihan Indonesia Result Show that will be aired live on RCTI from Integrity Convention Center, Mega Glodok Kemayoran. The show started on 9PM on December 1, 2007.
