Aizat's PERGI

This young man's melodious vocals has persistently haunt me since the first time I heard him sing at an event in Penang. He was a little weighty at that time, definitely no head turner, unlike others who are in the industry that he's in. He may not have the “package” but talent, he sure has loads.

Aizat is a product of the reality show Akademi Fantasia. Can't remember which season he was from. Unfortunately, this cherub face didn't gather enough sms votes to keep him long in the program. Well, that's how it works with these reality shows. The odds are in the hands of the sms senders. Never mind if you cringe audience with your croak. But if you have die hard fans by the throngs who are crazy about you and with the help of some luck, you could be driving home the up for grabs, new set of wheels or the key to that brand new apartment. Anyway, I’m not going to dwell much about these reality shows. It’s Aizat’s new song entitled PERGI that I want to share here.

First time I heard Aizat’s PERGI, it gave me the same the goose bumps I had that very moment I heard George Michael’s “Careless Whisper”. I sound so ancient now, don’t I? Anyway back to Aizat’s song. PERGI is climbing the pop charts and many radio stations are faithfully spinning this number, so much so that I now have the tune constantly playing on my mind. I learnt later that it is also the sound track of Yasmin Ahmad’s movie TALENTIME. PERGI was compose by Pete Teo, who’s known for his independently produced zero-budget, non-partisan, non-profit, multi-artists recording of his anti-racism - 'Here In My Home'.

I present you Aizat’s PERGI found on YouTube. Sit back relax and enjoy its brilliant assemblage of melodious acoustic guitar and melancholic softness of the Chinese erhu.

Hujan lebat mencurah kini
Bagaikan tiada henti
Kau lah lagu ku…kau irama terindah
Tak lagi ku dengari

Kau pergi…..pergi…

Sepi tanpa kata
Terdiam dan kaku tak daya kau ku lupa
Apa pun kata mereka
biarkan kenangan berbunga di ranting usia

So kepada sesiapa yang nak layan perasaan…..silakan…. this song is for you.

Nubhan's - Aku Ada Untuk Mu

Minutes before I arrived at my office this morning this new song which Nubhan sang during the finals of the AF6 concert came on air. My car was already parked but I stayed on for a litttle longer to wait for this song to finish. After listening to it, I had this sudden melancholy feeling. Napa entah....ader lah teringat kan seseorang yg pernah berkata sedemikian kepada daku. Oww....jiwang la plak!!!

I was glad that Nubhan's performance was already on You Tube and the lyrics of this song was also up in Sultan Muzaffar's blog.

Aku Ada Untukmu

Di sana pungguk menanti
Mengharap bulan membalas rindu di hati
Di sini aku berdiri
Menunggu penuh dengan kesabaran
Tanpa manis madah
Janji yang puitis
Tuk persembahan
Hanya ketulusan
Sekeping hati suci

Aku
Berikan kasih
Kalau itu yang kau mahu dari ku
Aku
Berikan cinta
Untuk membahagiakan hari mu
Aku
Sayang dirimu (menyayangimu)
Biarpun nafas ku sampai terhenti
Akan ku kota janji kita
Mendirikan Taj Mahal cinta
Seteguh kasih
Shah Jehan kepada Mumtaznya
Terasa indah pabila berdua
Semakin tiba saat bahagia
Merai cinta kita

Song : Zeti Akmar
Lyrics: Abie Abdullah

Adlin Arman Ramli - GO HOME!!!!

I am watching the AF final concert as I write this entry. All five students Toi, Riz, Nubhan, Nadia and Stacy have performed their 1st round of songs. Performance wise, they averagely did ok. Obviously there were some who were better than the other. Adat lah kan...bila competition. There are ok ones and there are some not so ok ones. Nama nyer pun students. Budak-budak who have gone through about 10 weeks of vocal trainings and performance coaching in an academy called Akademi Fantasia.

Nadia

I don't want to say much about the students' performance. What irks me so much is one jury at this concert. I personally feel this particular jury is so unfair with his comments. He said some unbecoming words while he commented one student's performance. The student is Nadia, a small petite girl who has a powerful voice. It was obvious that Adlin favours this Nadia girl. Thus giving such glorious comments on Nadia's performace. However, as he patronizes Nadia, he insensitively made a remark comparing Nadia's performance to the other two students Nubhan & Toi.

Toi

Adlin made this remark saying that he wants to see more of Nadia's powerful like performance and not those "tak bertenaga" ones of Nubhan and Toi. Wei...hello....Mr Adlin have you no sense of fair judgement? Nadia had like 8 back up dancers with her during her performance. Nubhan and Toi were left to sing on their own on the big and spacious stage. They were left to capture the audience attention solely with their own acts. They moved around on stage with their simple dance. Simple yet enough to entertain the audience. Well, I was entertained.

Nubhan

So what I am getting at is that this arrogant Mr Adlin has got things too much up his head. Be fair with your comments. Yes, Adlin has his own talk show. But, if I were to list out his hambar jokes in his talk show, he'd probably not have his contract renewed for the another season. So, I'm telling u ADLIN....go home....stop picking on these kids. Keep your mouth shut...zip!!!

For those of you who don't know what am I rattling about, it's OK. I just need an outlet to kutuk this Adlin guy. Anyway, this is my blog so I am free to write what I like.
