...the definition of idol.

Idol (noun)
- someone who is adored blindly and excessively

I was disappointed. Two of my favourites were voted out at the first spectacular. I knew that they would not win but they had good voices and therefore deserved to stay longer in competition. Futhermore, there were others who performed really badly that Friday night. But as the show's title goes, it is Malaysian Idol. Not a singing competition. Not for showcasing talent. The one who will eventually win is the one who could capture the hearts of the Malaysian crowd. Or more specifically, the hearts of Malaysians who bother to vote. I confess that I'm one of those who don't vote. I just watch and comment. I must say it is a good topic for conversation though.
