AJL 22 (Balada Semi-final): Siti lost her 'bisa'

Eventhough Juara Lagu is said to be the contest amongst song writers, most headlines today scream at Siti's name instead of the song-writer Aubrey Suwito whose song she performed last night. I guess they have every reason to do so, cos if i'm not mistaken this is the first time a song performed by Siti fails to go to the final. But I guess this is just a temporary. She has a string of other hits currently and should be in the 23rd season next year (or they won't cos most of her hits now are written by Indonesian)

SHAH ALAM: Setelah dua tahun tidak bertanding, kemunculan semula Datin Seri Siti Nurhaliza di dalam Muzik-Muzik tidak 'menjadi' apabila beliau gagal terpilih ke peringkat akhir Anugerah Juara Lagu Ke-22 (AJL22) bagi kategori Balada.

Siti yang kembali beraksi pada pertandingan berprestij ini mempertaruhkan lagu Bisakah ciptaan Aubrey Suwito dan liriknya hasil nukilan Tessh RS pada peringkat separuh akhir kategori tersebut yang disiarkan secara langsung di TV3 dari Sri Pentas 2, Plaza Alam Sentral, di sini, malam ini. (more...)

Well, I watched the show last night and honestly I never heard of the song Bisa Kah before (ok..go ahead and laugh). The other songs are just too good for Bisa Kah to compete. My favourites are Ceritera Cinta by Jac and Lan (these two sang so dramatically) and Harapan by Fazli Zainal (this guy sings as if he's watching himself in a mirror). And I don't see anything special to the song written by M. Nasir (performed by Idayu)....yet it still in the semi-final.
