What a great show! Another round of good quality performances by OIAM3 contestants, bravo! Obviously one element missing that night is 'stage fright'. The contestants seemed very focus in their external goals or task at hand, for the benefit of the audience, instead of concerning so much on self-conscious like questioning "am I singing well?", "how do I look?" or "what are people thinking?" (you know...those concerns that just lead to stage fright). As speculated the immunity reward is destroyed. Not so sure if that's a good or bad news. And talking about bad news, Rizu's fans might really feel the pinch. The contestant, whom I imagined as the potential substitute of the legendary Sudirman, had been expelled.
On to my ranking
1. Esther (Nothing Sweet About Me)- Another entertaining up-tempo number. Her performance was more organized and well choreographed compared with "I Won't Go Home Without You". Her rhythmic steps, the 'gelek' and good voice control give her performance the extra mile. Singing with showmanship that's how I sum it up
2. Amylea (Somewhere Only We Know)- No glitch, good voice control and good stage presentation (conquering every corner of the stage).
3. Nine (Cinta Gila) - Probably his best vocal performance so far, good solid voice control and not much of pitch issue (unlike before). The big note at the end proved that he's a risk taker (as reward the camera focus at a pretty lady among the audience who's been gossiped as Nine's girlfriend ...:-))
4. Tomok (Umbrella) - Predictable. Applying the same formula, same movement, same gestures (the trademark 'body shaking' as if being electrocuted) and of course same roar from the audience (dia ni menang sorak dan menang banner).
5. Aweera (Di Penjara Janji)- Here comes the pejuang rock 80-an. No problem with the singing, very good shifting from low to high note, tapi drama yang tersirat dalam lagu tidak selari dengan ekspresi muka Aweera and it's a bit annoying to look at. It looks as if he's merely doing a sound check or mic test.And as usual the copycat issue.
6. Simon (Livin On A Prayer)- Normally those who take over the stage last will do something extraordinary (as we often see in the previous rounds). Since Simon was the last one, I had that expectation on him, but it turned out to be an anti-climax. Very karaoke-lounge sound
