Akademi Fantasia 9

I am Akademi Fantasia (AF) die hard fan, but this year I was quite upset with most of the students. This year is gonna be the last AF, and they supposed to perform better than previous years students! Luckily Aznil Hj Nawawi (Pak Nil) is back in the house. I can't imagine if AF9 without Pak Nil!

Original students of AF9

Actually, as a Sabahan, of course my votes will go to my favorite student, Nera. She was good during Konsert Tirai AF9 but then, she's getting worst and worst! She got a good package already, I wonder why she didn't push herself like what Stacy AF6 did? I guess Stacy is the best from Sabah so far.

As we know, AF9 got a lot of 'kezutan' (surprises). At first, I was shocked to know about the 'Operasi Gugur'. I guess it won't necessary yet at the same time, I think that's the best solution as AF9 will be the last season. They really want to find a qualified winner. Besides, most of the audiences aren't really satisfied with most of the performances.

Anyway, I'm really happy when they selected Fina and Hazama. I guess Fina is better than anybody else so far, based on her performance last night. She sang 'All By Myself' by Celine Dion. How I wish she can sing a bit longer!

Fina

Hazama

AF8 : Getting better after 6th concert

Oh yeah, finally...In my opinion, I can say that I'm satisfied with the AF8 6th concert last night. I like the opening performance with their colourful appearances. I can see Adlin's satisfaction face too especially after Maulana and Adira's performances.

Opening performance

I think that Maulana is very talented in singing but I don't like his attitude which shown on Diari AF8 every Monday-Friday. He kind of too emotional person, playful sometimes or maybe because they are like living in a box in the academy. Which is without window and any entertainment apart from studying, learning, acting, singing and eating..ha..ha..

Anyway, I was quite suprised with Adira's performance last night. During their first concert, I don't like her at all but after a few weeks, she improved a lot especially in her singing. Thumbs up Adira! Finally, I'm proud of you and I'm sure the other Sabahan too.

Adira ('My All' by Mariah Carey)

Maulana ('Bila Rindu' by Ruffedge)

Honestly, I don't care much about who will be the winner this year but I really hope that Maulana and Adira will be in top 3.

AF8 : Getting better or worst?

I'm still tired, just came back from Papar (My hubby's hometown). I really enjoyed myself yesterday. Firstly, because of a good news that we've been waiting for. Unfortunately, my hubby remind me not to share about it in my blog (Let it be our secret...he...he...). Secondly, because finally, we went to Suria Sabah. We didn't make it last time because our youngest son is sick. Well, nothing much to see as the mall is still consider new. Not many shops are open yet!

Anyway, what do you think about the Akademi Fantasia Season 8 (AF8)? Honestly, to me, it's quite boring than previous years or maybe it's still too early to make a conclusion? I don't know, but as a fanatic fan of AF, I'm hoping for something new, something which is more happening than before. I do like some of the finalists, such as Ain, Iwan, Alif (based on their vocals & performances during concert). Unfortunately, if based on their appearence or behaviours during Diari AF8, it made me sick!!! However, no matter what, I can't help myself to watch it as I'm always be a reporter to my family and friends...ha...ha...

One more thing, I realised their concept this year is quite similar with American Idol...oh well, correct me if I'm wrong! I'm a fanatic fan of American Idol too and my favourite finalists this year are Casey James and Aaron Kelly! Opps, back to my topic. I thought that Aznil will be the host again but Sarimah Ibrahim is not bad. However, I guess this is Jimmy's first experience to host a reality program. Therefore, he has to learn more!

By the way, I'm happy to see Adlin as one of the jury. He's like Simon Cowell, very honest in giving comments eventhough it might hurts their feelings. To be a star, they have to learn, to accept the criticsm. Oh well, hoping for the best performance in next week concert! Good luck guys!

Final Concert of AF7 : Congrats to Hafiz!

Yeah, Hafiz is the winner of AF7! I'm so happy because he deserved it more than Aril. Hey, don't get me wrong. Eventhough Aril didn't win but Aril is still THE BEST! He's got everything. He's very talented and his performance last night is superb! He's a great performer compare to Hafiz. However, this year theme is TRANSFORMATION! From zero to what he is last night, Hafiz have been transformed and that's why he deserved it more than Aril.

Hafiz..Hafiz..Hafiz..I thought there is changes on the votes last night but luckily, Hafiz is still on the top. He's got a powerful voice and versatile! Even all the pengritik love his voice especially Edrie. However, compare to Aril and Akim, Hafiz still need to learn more in dancing and how to perform like what Aril and Akim did last night!

Sadly to say, both Isma's performances last night are just okay...She looks more stressed in the final week. I wonder why her votes changed drastically? She used to be in the first place since the first week!

Same goes to Yazid. His first performance is terrible...macam ada yang tak kena. Most voters blamed the academy for the wrong choices of songs for most students! I don't know what to comment but sometimes I agreed with the selection of their songs!

Compare to previous AF, most chatters in channel 15 (109) said that AF7 is the worse AF ever! Well to me, honestly I think it is 50-50 because only this year they starting to use the theme of transformation. Even myself is very hard to accept the way of their transformation but towards the end of the week, I started to like and try to understand it. I just unsatisfied with some of the students. They have a chance to learn but some of them just playing around and didn't show respect to their teachers!

Hey, I'm a fanatic fan of AF (Akademi Fantasia) since the first season. I never miss to watch the programme and be a pengkritik myself to my friends and family members..ha..ha..it's true, if they want to know everything about AF, they will call or send me an sms! Lol..well I'll always update myself about AF especially from the internet. That's why I managed to compare everything with the previous seasons. (I even named my first son, Randall Vince because my favourite idol, Vince won the first season).

Congrats to Stacy too for the great performance but I wonder why nowadays, all her performances are more to dancing than singing! I can't deny that she is the Agnes Monica or Britney Spears of Malaysia, but she have to focus more on her singing. By the way, I love her new hair style. She looks more sexy!

Well, no more AF after this...have to wait for another season next year! I can't imagine my life without AF because every night at 9.00 pm sharp, I'll sit in front of the tv...tonight and the next few months I don't know what else to watch..ha..ha..life must goes on, huh!

As usual, below are the percentage before and after the concert (copied from www.astro.com.my/akademifantasia).

HAFIZ - 44

9th Concert of AF7 : The best ever!

Below are the Top 5 Finalist of Akademi Fantasia 7 (AF7). Who will be the winner? I really hope either Hafiz or Aril because both of them are qualified!

Hafiz

I really enjoyed Hafiz's performance last night especially when he sang 'I believe I Can Fly' by R. Kelly...meremang bulu roma! His first performance also good but as Edry said, the song didn't challenge his voice.

Aril

He's so lucky to be voted in back to the AF7. This is Aril's second chance to prove that he's one of the best! As a Malaysian, I'm so proud to have Aril in our music industry. He can go far, believe me! He's very talented, not only in singing but dancing and acting as well. Congrats awokkk!

Isma

I can't deny that she's very talented too. She's the mother of 5 children but she still look gorgeous, don't you think so? Unfortunately, I don't really like her voice because it's quite similar to Dato Siti Nurhaliza. So, eventhough she's good but I keep on imagine Dato Siti everytime I watch her performance! (That's my opinion ok)

Akim

Thumbs up to Akim's performance last night especially when he sang 'I'm Yours' by Jason Mraz. That's the best performance of Akim..selamba, cool, relax but really entertaining! I fell in love with him that night..ha..ha..However, one thing that I don't like about him is his bad temper! He's still young but he should know from now on how to control his bad temper. Otherwise, he won't be long in this music industry.

Yazid

He's good in dancing but not really in singing. However, he can still learn with Siti Hajar after this. I think he is lack of confident. Yazid is a very shy student. People like him need lots of time to show the truth colour of themself but he's very talkative in the academy, right?

Sadly to say, next Saturday will be their final concert. I need to wait for next year for the AF8!! Eventhough I'm not satisfied with the transformation at first, but now I am satisfied! I really hope principal Tiara will be the next principal as well. Compare to a male principal, female students are more comfortable with a female principal. Same goes to the male students because they treat Principal Tiara as their mother as well.

I really hope the Af team will do something about Hafiz's hair before the final concert. He's cute but I think he'll look more better with a new and suitable hairstyle. Can't imagine my life without AF after this...no more sitting in front of tv every night at 2100hrs...hmmm...

AF7 8th Concert : AF Masuk??

AF Masuk? What do you think about it? I watched the Diari EXT before the concert last night and all the panels are talking about the same thing. Then I switched to Ch 109 and most of the voters are unsatisfied about AF Masuk. Well, the good news about it is we can AF Masuk those who have been voted out and I really hope that Aril will be in the final together with the other 4 students because he deserved it.

I'm not a fan of theater musical but I really enjoyed their performances last night especially Hafiz! It's not easy for them to prepare only in 4 days?! Even the pro' one need a few months to practise! Same goes to Yazid. He do improved a lot especially in his confident level.

Kezutannn...I never thought there'll be 2 eliminations last night but Claudia and Aishah have been voted out. First time in AF's history, only 1 female student left, Isma compare to the previous seasons. What a suprised too! Since last week, Isma is no longer on the top ranking. Well, below are the percentage before and after the concert (Copied from www.astro.com.my/akademifantasia)

AF7 7th Concert : I'm speechless!

Yeah, I'm speechless because I didn't expect Aril to be eliminated in last night concert. He did a very good performance last night and even got compliments from all the pengkritik. Honestly, I don't have any favourite student this year but I'm writing my blog based on my opinion and observation. Aril, Hafiz and Yazid deserved to be in the final concert but I understand...AF is a reality programme, all their lucks are based on SMS!

Awok..awok..many fans blamed Marsha as a reason for Aril to be voted out. Well, I don't know what to comment. Maybe it's one of the reason because in Malaysia, most of us prefer a good looking artist compare to their talents! It's true, isn't it? Aril got a full package and I'm very sure most of his voters are female! I saw in channel 109 (Chat @ 15) that most of Aril's voters really don't understand why Marsha need to be in the AF7 for 5 days? As shown on the tv, Marsha seems to teased Aril most of the time. That made Aril's voters jealous with Marsha I think. However, I don't bother about that at all! Marsha just doing her job. As we know, AF selalu ada bermacam-macam strategi and kezutannn...

Another 2 concerts before the final concert. If there's no elimination in the 8th concert, 5 students will be in the final. By the way, below are the votes percentage before and after the concert. Seems Aril have been voted out, I really hope Hafiz could win this competition..hope there'll be a miracle!

AF7 6th Concert : Not bad!

Hmm..I wanted to update my blog soon after finish watching the concert last night but I'm so sleepy. Anyway, last night concert is quite ok to me. However, once again, I think the opening song is quite boring, same melody..1 song is just nice I guess.

In my opinion, the best peformance tonight is Aril..go go wok..and Qhaud. Unfortunately, Qhaud have been eliminated due to his lowest votes. I really enjoyed Aril's performance last night. He improved a lot especially in his vocal. Whether he win or not, he'll be famous because of his good package.

I agreed with Edrie about Isma's performance. She's trying too hard so it don't look natural anymore. Poor Hafiz, what a teribble performance. Same goes to Yazid and Akim but I still believe Hafiz can go far in this industry. Hmm..I'm talking about their vocals ok!

Claudia..Claudia..I prefer her hair style before..but Aishah, OMG! She looks more pretty with her new hair style but once again, I agreed with Adlin's comment about her outfits. Not suitable, huh! I understand that Tiara tried to create Imej Sopan in this AF7 but some of the outfits looks terrible to me.

However, I love the new Menuju Puncak performance. Well, another 3 concerts to go before the final concert. If they want Top 5 to be in the final concert, that's mean there'll be another 2 elimination and one of the week, no elimination! Otherwise, only 4 students will be in the final!

AF7 5th Concert : I lurveeee it!

MyNiceSpace.com

Yeah, at last..I lurveee this week concert eventhough the opening performance is quite boring! Maybe because some of them aren't good in English, so they don't have confident to sing it out loud!

Anyway, in my opinion, the best duet performance tonight is Hafiz and Mila, followed by Yazid and Yazer, Claudia and Vince. Isma's performance is not bad but maybe she's so suprised to see her hubby, so quite distracted in her performance (Biasalah kalo dah lama tak jumpa..rindu giler..11th anniversary lagi)

By the way, I agree with Adibah's comment..she's so selamba but she's very professional, right? I really hope the AF team will invite Paul Moss to be one of the jury, perharps in final concert!

One more thing that I like about this week concert is the appearance of AF's ex-students especially Farah. She looks more skinny but pretty than before! Vince as usual, still got his power voice. Same goes to Mila!

Sadly to say, Sidi have been eliminated this week because he improved a lot especially in his vocal but not in tonight's performance..yeah, Zahid yang menonjol pula! Hmmm...can't wait for next week concert. Hope there'll be more exciting transformation apart from the stage setting!

AF7 ~ 4th Concert, lots of suprises!

Phewww...this week concert is superb! In my opinion, most of the students are doing very well. Lots of improvement as Adlin said but sadly, 2 students from Sabah have been voted out! I was so suprised because Zizie's performance is the best tonight. Yeah, no matter how good she is, it's all depends on the votes.

I was so disappointed because no Sabahan will be in the Top 3 this year. Since AF2, all the Sabahan such as Felix, Marsha, Ebi, Candy and Lotter are in the Top 5. Even Stacy of AF6 won the competition last year! Well, both Zizie and Rubisa have potential in this industry. However, I think the main reason why people don't vote for them is because of their behaviours! Hey, this is just my opinion.

Honestly, I didn't vote for anybody at all this year. Why? I think this year AF7 is not happening compare to the previous years. Actually, the AF team are doing their best to show the transformation that they are talking about. I guess the problem is with the students. Some of them are over confident, especially those who have experience singing in public. However, I'm proud of Isma because eventhough she's married with 5 kids, she's still superb! Same goes to Hafiz for the great performance every week!

Well, no matter what, I'll keep on supporting AF but how I wish if Aznil can come back to host the reality programme! He's versatile, confident and lots of humor compare to AC Mizal. Of course AC need to host the programme in his own style, but it's not happening! Sometimes I realised, ntah apa-apa yang dicakap..main hentam saja dan tidak lucu!

It's 12.32 after midnight. I'm so sleepy. I better go to sleep now. Otherwise, I won't be able to attend the Palm Sunday tomorrow. Good nite my friends ZZZzzz

AF7's 2nd Concert : Better than last week!

Well, in my opinion, this week concert got improvement, much better than last week.I'm impressed with their opening ' Menuju Puncak'. However, I think their BIG PROBLEM is they don't know how to control their 'memek muka' or how to express their feelings.

Don't get mad at me, I just want to share my opinions with you all.

1) Akim ~ Macam syok sendiri, 'tak serius time belajar'

2) Adilla ~ She got the lowest votes since she entered the academy. Wonder why? If you look @ Ch 15, nobody like her just because of her engagement incident, misunderstanding about 'Kerabat Diraja Kedah'. Sad and unfair, isn't it? They judge her just based on the incident? If you don't believe me, try to search at the internet or read the previous article in Media Hiburan! All I can say is..'jari menjadi juri'!

3) Aril ~ He's talented too, got full package but as Edrie said, problem with his pitching but he's good in shuffle.

4) Aishah ~ Suara power but please don't wear high heels in next concert..'nampak sangat dia tak pandai jalan'

5) Claudia ~ 2nd best performance for me but she's quite good

6) Hafiz ~ The best performance tonight eventhough ' ada lari pitching sikit' but he managed to cover it. Good level confident! Hope he'll be in top 3.

7) Isma ~ Suara memang power ala-ala Dato' CT but she better learn how to dance. It doesn't mean you have 5 kids and feel ashamed to dance!

8) Obri ~ Alamak budak ni, over confident la. Macam syok sendiri pun ada!

9) Qhaud ~ Budak ni lagi, suara quiet ok but the way he express his feelings..aiyaa, I don't know how to explain!

10) Rubisa ~ Very talented but sometimes I don't like her behaviour in academy. Don't talk about your sickness too much, 'kalo mo jadi artis mesti pandai-pandai la'.

11) Rini ~ Ooooo..Emotional! Mo control cantik depan camera, what a boring performance? Kaku bah, seolah-olah she's carrying something heavy on her head, maybe her hair is too long, so berat kepala..I guess that's why she can't move or dance very well! (I'm sorry but I hope she'll be voted out in next week concert)

12) Sidi ~ Same goes to Sidi (I'm sorry but I also hope that he'll be voted out next week). Don't let your personal problem made you 'hilang fokus' la..

13) Yazid ~ Suara ntah ke mana, especially the 1st song, Lelaki Ini (I luv that song but hancur la..) Tak guna kalo pandai breakdance je bro..

14) Zizi ~ I like her voice and performance tonight but ada 'kangkang' juga..dah la pakai dress..not suitable la..

Hey, common guys..this is my opinion based on the 2nd week concert. I'm a fanatic fan of AF, that's why I'm quite disappointed this year! Their tagline is 'SATU TRANSFORMASI AKAN BERLAKU'.There is a transformation but not like what I expected! Nevermind, AC said there's a new changes of the stage next week..just wait and see!

Last but not least, I'm sorryyy...

AF7 Concert..BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS!

MyNiceSpace.com

Honestly, I am so upset, frustated, unhappy..what else..about the AF7 concert tonight. I know, this is their first concert but it's beyond my expectations! What I mean is, I'm waiting for something to be happening as their slogan is 'SATU TRANSFORMASI AKAN BERLAKU!' but nothing special! Well, don't mad at me because this is my blog, this is my opinion and I'd like to share with you all how I feel right now.

I can see there are some changes especially on the music arrangement, setting of the stage but I guess the background is too dark. Besides, there's no use to put the audience in front of the stage. There aren't pro singer yet! Why don't they just stick to the old setting? I know, they want to make some changes but I don't think it's suitable. Even the audience are not sporting enough!

Talking about the jury, Adlin is quite good in giving his comments but how I wish Ogy is there with him too.

I know..I know..this is just the first concert but don't make any excuse-lah! Common-lah, this is the 7th season already. As a fanatic fan of AF, I'm expecting something happening in their 1st concert..Their arrangement is quite similar to American idol, isn't it?

I'm not sure about the selection of songs for the next concert, either they'll choose again by themself or will be choosed by their principal, Tiara? I hope it'll be choosed by AF production because we will know who will be the real entertainer such as Stacy AF6!

By the way, I'm not satisfied with their appearance too. Do they have to prepare everthing by themself including their clothes? I don't think 'jeans' is suitable or maybe this is their first concert, so 'hantam sajalah..like that ka..aiyoo.."

One more thing, do you realised that in this concert, I can see only one (1) banner for the student but not sure which student. In the previous concert of AF1-6 we can see lots of AFUNDI banners or maybe this is also part of the transformation, no banners allowed?

Jangan mare ah peminat-peminat AF7..this is just my opinion! I really hope they'll do much better in the next concert! Oh well, I can't wait to view murai.com or read the newspaper..can't wait to read the 'komen yang pedas-pedas'..ha..ha..
