Blind as a Bat!

[raynbowsend]

Ok so I loved the blind screen test...some of those voices would not be good to hear screeching out of the radio and some of them were just plain boring...it's amazing how much information relayed to the brain is spread between the senses...and how our eyes can deceive our ears...but not for long as the test showed...

And really what would it matter if the not-very-stunning-looking person was the winner but won because of their voice? Why do so many people have an issue with that?? Looks aint everything!!!!

Yes I know it is an industry that relies a great deal on "looks" and style yet thankfully there many "different looking" singers peppered throughout the long years of Malaysia's Music industry and they have paved the way for the "attractively challenged" artistes out there...

Maybe Malaysian voters who will eventually choose the winner of OIAM can show the world that you don't have to be skinny and "perfect" to be a star and that a singing career should be, after all, primarily about "the voice" not "the look"...

OK...take care all!

Ciao for now! ;D

looks , i mean see clay aiken .
when he first came for the auditions, everyone was like WTF .
and he made everyone's jaw drop cos of his beautiful voice .
and even wit his geeky looks , he managed to get 2nd ! ( he seriously was spose to get the title though )
and in the end he selled more than the winner !
and now he is coming out wit his 2nd album !
and he is looking so much better now btw ;D

conclusion : in the end , "the voice" will come first . at least it should .

( i know i love ace young but thats that && u can't blame me . tskkk . its abt just what u like , a mix of everything . )

Clay looks a bit like Barry Manilow.

[galenskid]

Hey!Clay doesn't look like Barry Manilow lah! How dare you for even suggesting! Hahahahaha!

Anyway, I agree with rainbowman! Sometimes,our eyes deceives us...so next time, close your eyes,ok? Hahahahaha

What dragon meant was...back in the comp during season 2...Clay's style of dressing, hair etc looked pretty similar to Barry.

[logorithm]

I agreed with dragon. Clay does resemble Barry Manilow now, and not before he became a star, as I recalled how he looked like when he appeared on the AI5 grand finale.

I so agree...not the Clay Manillow thing, but with what Raymond said...it is not about the looks really, its the voice and the stage presence....that's what counts in the end..that's what makes an entertainer succeed in the end:)

LOL what a comment .
i think clay has his own unique way of dressing & looks .. he so does not look like barry manilow.
anyway i just used clay as an example ... haha i didn't know in the end ppl would really talk abt clay XD
