Champion - Carrey
Runner Up - Feraddy
2nd Runner up - AlfredTapi, ini adalah pandangan saya, Carrey is a great & humble guy but last night maybe he should not have won. Carrey adalah my top 5, because saya rasa dia ada potensi untuk menang. Tapi, bila dia menang,..saya tidak puas hati pulak.. Konsep KE Next Top Entertainer is to find the best entertainer. Carrey is an entertainer but vocally semalam dia overcooked it. Why?
Dusun Song:
1) Most of the time saya tidak faham apa yang dia nyanyikan. He was 'chewing' his words. Dia seakan-akan sedang chewing gum sambil menyanyi. So dari segi competition amat penting untuk kita memahami apa yang ingin beliau sampaikan. In this case, saya disappointed because vocally he is good, no doubt. Furthermore,..dia nyanyi dengan loghat 'orang putih'..Bro,..lagu dusun no need mau slang-slang macam orang putih kio..jaga2 sikit next time..siou.
2) Aduh judges, tidak dengarkah pitching dia terlari. Few times dia sumbang habis. Some of the audience look at each other and garu kepala. I said 'oopss' beberapa kali..Oh no bro,..what happened?
3)Overdoing it - It's a very nice song and arrangement pun bagus tapi bila dia nyanyi, dia senyum happy all the way. Lagu tu lagu sedihkah? or love song or lagu happy? I dont understand sebab penyampaiannya tidak jelas..'chewing' the words. It's unfair for the judges to komen penyanyi yang lain kerana tidak menghayati lagu, tapi Carrey pulak yang tersenyum gumbira, no bad comments.
English Song - Geek in The Pink (Jason Mraz)
1) The minute Carrey buka mulut, kalau saya judges, saya trus tidak dapat bagi markah tinggi. Why? Sumbang. Banyak pitching out. (Watch the video back, kalo tidak percaya).
2)Lagu Geek in the Pink have 3 main components, melody, scat singing & rap singing. Melody singing dia ok but sumbang in most places. Carrey,,oh carrey..janganlah scat kalau tidak expert betul. Judges unfortunately not familiar with scat singing sebab none yang bagi komen. But my challenge to him is to do it again in the future. I'm sure it'll be better. Terima cabaran ini carrey,..you can do it!
Scat singing adalah improvised, the melodic lines biasanya variasi dalam skala and arpeggio fragments, stock patterns and riffs. As well, scatting usually incorporates musical structure. Bila scat mesti ikut tempo music and scat note to note. Carrey so sorry,..you suck a bit in the song. Scat tanpa ikut tempo is not scatting at all.
Overall,..you all can buat postmortem bila tengok balik video malam itu. Be honest. I like Carrey, but he didn't do justice to himself. Maybe becoz I have high expectation on him. Kemenangan beliau adalah disebabkan oleh stage performance & the judges apparently like him so much sampai tidak nampak his weaknesses. But he was entertaining.. the whole purpose of the event, right?
So,..siapalah yang patut menang, Astroboy?
Feraddy patut menang. Dalam kedua-dua lagu beliau, note pertama yang keluar dari mulut amat penting. He sang brilliantly. Ada 1 or 2 pitching lari but it's ok. He was overall brilliant! Saya tidak kenal Feraddy at all. Nama penuh pun tidak tahu..oppss sorry. But bro, your dynamics in several choruses were commendable. Feraddy supported low register beliau gunakan diagraphm dgn baik.I think it was a C3..and Monica, balik2 cakap perut..mana ada support gitu. High register beliau G4 is not easy to do, especially bila buat sustain & vibrato dihujung. Ini you need skills. Carrey langsung tidak ada tunjuk vocal ability. Feraddy also did few riffs yang sangat bagus. In fact, lagu yang dinyanyikan oleh beliau, iaitu lagu Danny Malinggi adalah jauh lebih baik dari tuan punya lagu..sorry Danny.
Georgia Joy,..her voice menggemakan dewan!! Untuk seketika, dewan trus senyap ni.. I thought she had a chance to win third placing. Pitching only ada satu dua dalam lagu Matahari..but overall her performance was very good. Better than Carrey dari segi vocal prowness.
Alfred - Third place..memang lagu rendah dan tidak begitu mencabar sesuai untuk beliau. Not many mistakes but I don't see the hype. Maybe beliau menang markah yang tinggi dalam presentation kot? hmmm,.. I dunno.
Laimen @ Bernard - Another contestant yang patut ada placing, at least ketiga. Jury cakap, tidak cukup penghayatan? Odoi dogo Cosmas Chin.. cuba rewind balik the tape and judge again. I think he has given his all dalam lagu tu without overdoing it. Maybe jury mau semua contestants buat macam Carrey,.. gunakan setiap inci pentas. Excuse me panel juri,..ini year 2009 lah! Mariah Carey, Sheila Majid, Siti Nurhaliza, Jaclyn Victor, Brian Mcknight ..dorang semua bukan jenis berlari-lari bila menyanyi. Diana mentioned, 'Bila kamu keluar dari stage maksudnya kamu dah tamat menyanyi, that is singing/stage ethics'??? Astaga Diana, where on earth did you learn that? Bernard was making clothe change, Britney Spears, Whitney, Mariah, Siti, etc pun keluar stage kijap untuk tukar baju. Diana mentioned ' Napa tidak tukar baju saja di atas pentas?' Otuuk otuukk... There are no hard and fast rule to change costume selama 10 saat. Bukannya 5 minit kami menunggu dia tukar costume.. Gimmick bogia tu. Saya rasa panel juri potong markah beliau disebabkan oleh itu. Maybe,..wo puh tze tou.
Jisius - Vocal yang sangat baik. Voice projection yang bagus, showmanship yang kadang2 tidak well choreographed but overall very good. Vocal control, much better than Carrey. Ada pontensi top 3 but maybe judges cari package? But Jisius unfortunately cannot dance. Sorry bro. Mau ambik kelas tarian. Panggil saya, saya pun mau join.
Hary - He, to me ada appeal tersendiri. Dia boleh menyanyi dengan baik. No problems in pitching like Carrey. Very Indon-style. Beliau tidak perlu bergerak terlebih, tapi he made an impact. The girls love him. Likeability yang tinggi. He is better than Alfred.
Conclusion: I was disappointed in Carrey sebab he was my favourite, huhu. Dia tidak dapat deliver dengan baik, vocally, sebab I dont understand a word he was singing, sumbang & pitchy in many parts. But untuk beliau menang sebegitu bila dibandingkan dengan yang lain. Well,....he was surely entertaining..for sure..congrats bro!
