Konsert 2 Akademi Fantasia 6

Opening

AC nyanyi dangdut.....The kids intro ala ala dangdut…it was all too much for me. Sometimes less is more.

The Host

I can only stomach AC in small doses. But he definitely was better than the first concert. Seemed like he got rid of his nerves and was more comfortable on stage being himself. I hope he’s not gonna overdo anything in the coming weeks.

Critics

Ogy was missing, and I was happy to have Adlin back. In fact I find Ogy’s absence all the more appealing. I’m sure the kids enjoyed it too. Adlin’s in your face comments are always honest and at times blunt… but at least takde jerit jerit terlebih emo. I wish Ning gets more technical with the vocal comments so that the kids learn.

Performances

Lufya – Cinta 100%

Dangdut was obviously not her thing….but she tried. Her gelek was not bad. But what the fish with the wet underarms….urghhh. Pity her, no one wants to be remembered that way. I don’t really like Lufya’s voice…macam tak puas dengar, and its not serak tapi like tak lepas. Credit for effort, but the singing was not that good.

Toi – Sang Pencinta

How can I forget that green satin outfit with one side ikat tali pinggang? (Lu pikirla sendiri ok) I wasn’t expecting much from Toi, but he pulled it off. Hujan’s song last week was a simple melody, and this week I can really here Toi’s tone of voice. The critics did not have much negative things to say about his singing, but more of his movement and penghayatan. I blame it on the green outfit.

Stanley – Sudah tu Sudah

A case of overconfidence or overdoing it? It was all over out of tune and pitchy. The ad-libbing didn’t work either. Imran Ajmain must have cringgggged in his seat.

Rina – Ku Seru

In the diaries, Ramli MS commended Rina for getting rid of her old singing habits and puts her younger competitors to shame. So I was looking forward to hear her sing. It was just OK for me. She can sing but her voice lack the “kemerduan”. It wasn’t bad but I didn’t feel it Mama, sorry.

( did you notice Ramli giving the thumbs up to the camera masa Adlin was commenting….haha, that is so not a Ramli thing to do kan…)

Alif – Angan dan Sedar

And how did he get picked out of the 6000 who came for auditions?

Aidit “Awak tak sihat eh?”
Alif “sihat bang”

hahahaha

Let’s move on

Ika – Malu Tapi Mahu

Kesian Cikgu Siti Hajar cringing in her seat and willing Ika on, but she just cant sing. Joget joget boleh la dik.

Adlin sd ‘banyak masalah…hancur la. Nak talipinggang ke nak boot…’

The kind Malaysian voters did Ika a favour and saved Ika from kena teruk lagi next week. Terima kasih Malaysia.

Naim – Aspalela

If Adlin nak baling kasut, Naim would be a nice target too.

Jasmi Rejab pun kena dengan Adlin….hmmm, padan. Awful clothes.

Faisal – Ranggi Metropolis

I was expecting a bad one from Faisal after the Friday presentation at the Akademi. Surprise, surprise…He rocked last nite.

Saida – Doktor Cinta

Oh dear girl, you have so many people rooting for you. You just have to bring it on. And she didn’t. So far, we can only hear glimpses of her vocal ability. I still believe she has a lot in her…just a matter of time. This song is sooo out of her character, and I’m sure she suffered doing the dances and all. I hope it gave her confidence to just let loose in the coming weeks.

Stacy – Rela

My Pick of the Nite. Nice tone, nice feel. Stacy delivered.
Suddenly I’m reminded of Candy’s powerful voice, but Stacy ada a better ‘soft’ feel to her delivery. Betul Aidit’s comments, Stacy needs to find her x-factor, otherwise like many others before her, jadi one of those with good vocals but never made it.

Riz – Separuh Masa

There’s a cocky-ness about Riz that I just don’t like. But let’s put that aside for a moment. He can sing and has the voice, we established that last week. With this fast number, it was pretty obvious that he’s out of breath and pitchy. And that jumping up and down is so unflattering to his belly. Thank the “image consultant” for putting on a horizontally striped cardigan zipped up to the belly...a lot of help that did...duuuhhh. and the hair…no, no!

Nubhan – Tak Bisa Memilihmu

I was looking forward to this. I like Nubhan’s tone, and I like this Sixth Sense song. It’s his nerves and confidence that will determine how well he performs. I thot he did really well and meant to sing this type of songs. That tone just came out so good in this slow number…despite being distracted by that glittery, ala-Christmas vest….i can feel the song. This is only the second week, and if Nubhan learns well from the vocal lessons, I have high hopes for Nubhan.

Nadia – Umbrella

She has a big voice…it’s the way she sings or is it the pronunciation that comes out weird. Even when she nyanyi lagu melayu, I get the same weird feeling. I didn’t like it but she’s definitely one of the better girls in the Akademi.

Menuju Puncak

Correct me if I’m wrong, this is the first time in AF history the students just dance to the Juwita Suwito version without having to sing. Kenapa – teruk sangat ke? Is it a different choreography from last week? I’m not sure…sebab last week nampak beterabur, mcm mana nak nampak step kan….but better this week.

Anne’s Prelude Pick for the week: Stacy & Nubhan
