singapore idol, y am i not surprised?

to those of you who watched singapore idol finale last sunday, i wondered, y bother? the results r not even surprising, yet another malay male won the contest. i have nothing against malay males nor malays, mind u i have quite a number of malay frens and mostly males. the issue is the voting public, not the contestants. the results are always the same and we will never get a combo breaker if mediacorp never changes the style of the competition.

i would very much rather watch taiwan's "one million star" where the panel of professional judges decide who wins and who gets eliminated. where u truly see a talented singer win the contest and not another popularity/wealth contest.
