HAVE YOUR SAY: Sezairi Sezali wins Singapore Idol
Fans react to 22-year-old dark horse's triumph over hot favourite Sylvia Ratonel image from Channel NewsAsia video
SEZAIRI Sezali made it three wins in a row for aspiring male Malay singers when he was crowned 2009's Singapore Idol on Sunday night.

The laidback 22-year-old beat hot favourite Filipino-Singaporean Sylvia Ratonel to become champion of the reality TV singing contest in front of an estimated 8,000-strong crowd at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Sezairi, who is waiting to enlist into National Service, dashed public hopes of crowning a female Singapore idol. His rival, a hotel secretary, was expected to win after defying expectations to become the first woman to make it to the competition's finale.

He joins Taufik Batisah, who won the inaugural competition in 2004, and Hady Mirza, the 2006 winner.

"I don't know that to think right now. Thank you guys so much, you made my dreams come true," a visibly shell-shocked Sezairi told Channel NewsAsia.

Along with the title and bragging rights, he wins a recording contract with Universal Music.

Fans, are you happy Sezairi is your new Singapore Idol? Do you think his performances on Sunday night earned him the title? What words of encouragement do you have for both contestants as they embark on their singing careers?

I found this article in msn entertainment. And read through the comments and I came across this comment:

"I was rooting for Sylvia but when Sezairi sang "Crazy" I knew he would win. If you have any doubts abt Sezairi, or not happy that another malay won this, see the bigger picture. Look back at Sylvia'a videos. She sang "Yellow" flat. Another song she sang during the spectacular was also flat. She didnt get my attention when she sang "yellow" or "touched by an angel". But wen sezairi sang, i was mersmerised. Remember I was rooting for sylvia at first. dont let your emotions or your lack of capability to detect tones (deaf tones) affect your judgment abt who deserves to win. If Malays vote for Malays, then sezairi wont win, cos Malays only make up 20% of Singapore's population. All those voters cant be wrong or deaf. And if you want to know what Taufik'd doing, he has produced many albums both in English and Malay, wrote his own songs as well as other artistes and won many reqional musical awards. now that's how a deserving idol works!"

I TOTALLY SECOND HER COMMENT! I didn't follow through the idol journey but I know how good the girls are as compared to Sezairi. I supported Sylvia for the finale. However, as i watched the show, i noticed that her singing was kinda flat especially when she sang "yellow". And when she sang "touched by an angel", i think she somehow didn't let EVERYTHING out. She's not out there. But when Sezairi did it, he added some of his style into it. It wasn't fabulous or magnificent but it was definitely better than Sylvia's rendetion of the song. Of course i am proud that another malay won but this is not a competition of which race is better or more importantly, don't be so desperate to have a female Singapore Idol. What are you people trying to prove here. Furthermore if you noticed, Sylvia looked so confident that she's going to go home with the title. I tell you, being overconfident can cause you..I know, i've been there. So I hope Singaporeans will support our new Singapore Idol, Sezairi Sezali. He deserves it.

School just started for a week now. We have just submitted our business proposal and it's approved. Right now, i just feel like working again coz i just don't want to handle projects. I'm just thinking of the week after 8 February coz that's when we can enjoy TOTAL FREEDOM! However, before we can get excited over that, we must first drown ourselves in research and reports. 60 to 70 pages la ok!!

Anyways, thursday was a movie date with the girlfriends. NEW MOON!! The story wasn't that fantastic but what's important is the hot guys!!!!!! hahahahaha. Jacob is superhot!!!!! Bella is a bitch!! What's interesting while watching that movie is that everybody in the cinema's reaction is all the same. When Bella had a bleeding forehead, Jacob strip his shirt off and every girls go OMG or whoaaa and the guys were laughing to ALL of our reactions. The ending is so lame. Anyways, went window shopping with the girls at Plaza Singapura and off we go our seperate ways.

The next day was Dress Day for us B.A. I have no idea why. haha. After lecture, took the bus to Bugis. We were very kecoh in the bus. Camwhore-ing and teasing Hidayah. haha. Sorry Hid. Went to eat at Tong Seng and took neoprints after that. Our first neoprint together after 3 years. haha. Kecoh as always. Then went to filmgarde to watch Couples Retreat. Wasn't that great either. Just some funny moments here and there. After the movie i went straight home while they went to shop.

Saturday had to wake up super early to attend the Entrepreneurship Forum. Had to reach at 8.15am la siah! During the speech of 2 of the speakers, i actually fell asleep. I was wide awake only when the 3rd spearker starts his speech. He was so comical.

On the way home, me, Su, Steph and Jasmine were kecoh-ing about our favourite cartoons and questioned me why the sudden barbie craze.

I was crazy about barbie since secondary school when my cousin influenced i think all of us. She influenced us to liking pink and to liking barbie. haha. You guys should know who right??? hahaha.

Anyways, it started since secondary school but then it wore off abit when i get into poly. And before SIP starts, i bought a pencil case cause i thought it was so pretty and i need a new pencil case. My sister was actually buying them one for my niece for her birthday but i don't know why i just bought one as well.

Then during another present hunting, i saw this beautiful barbie make-up case. I actually have an old barbie pencil case which is quite big to fit in all my make-up but then this one is the actual thing, a make-up bag. Well, looks like it. It was the last piece, so i bought it.

Then just recently, went to Giant with mum, sis and her 2 children. My sister was going to buy a bag for her daughter. A barbie bag. I just went crazy and suggested this and that. Just when we're about to move on, i saw a cute barbie handphone pouch. 3 designs! Was excited and asked each and everyone there which is nicer. I even asked my nephew whom i think couldn't care less. My sis also did went gaga over a barbie wallet. I asked if she wants to buy for herself but she said people might think she's crazy. She's 36 la for goodness sake. hahahaha. My niece don't want any wallet but the mother just bought it anyway coz she just couldn't resist it. hahahaha.

Anyhoots, I love Barbie, Suhailah loves Stitch and Stephenie loves Tigger. That's all. haha. Hidayah loves Pooh (right?), Jasmine loves Spongebob and so does Nish (i think). Cherlene, I honestly have no idea. haha. Sorry Cherlene. But the hardcore ones are me, su and steph la. We have many things related to our favourite character.

Back to my story about Saturday, after school got ready for my sister's bestfriend's brother's wedding. First thing my sister asked me when i saw her was, "want to drive?". I was like hell yeah!

While driving, the rain started to pour heavily. My mum became more naggy. But alhamdulillah, nothing happened.

Sunday, bie asked me out to accompany him study for his term test. He said his place is very kecoh. I told him i can't coz my mum is alone at home and she's having headache. So i asked him to come over. He was half-hearted at first but he came anyway. He did his thing, i did my thing. It was fun. First time having him at my house that long. You're welcome to study here anytime, well not when my whole family is here coz that would be pointless. hahaha.

Alright this is a long post so i'm going to stop now.

thank you and goodnight.
