taufik is the man

the first singapore idol is indeed memorable.

i remember detesting sylvester in the beginning stages of the competition, with frequent thoughts of what's this damned gangster with bad hair doing in singapore idol?! each time i watched it. can't quite recall when exactly did i change my opinion of him, but it wasn't a mistake to finally recognise him as a phenomenon, a man of x-factor, a rocker of mass appeal.

then, i remember taufik being named the arrogant one during the initial auditions and i thought, man this guy is a gone-case. subsequently in the next round he still didnt appeal to me with his rendition of "my girl". but hey, like what everybody concluded, his transformation into a star with strong vocals who wears his personality and talent on his sleeves was miraculous. i don't know why today's show made me think so much..perhaps taufik is more than a mere singapore idol - he's an unique inspiring character too.

heh it was so emotional..i thought taufik was gona cry when the announcement was made! and it was nice of him to let sylvester sing part of the song towards the end, instead of taking in the glory and glamour by himself. haha now im looking forward to american idol again! (:
