yep i know i posted earlier heh. but i'm just a bit pissed with what singapore idol is doing.
"vote wisely", "your voting for your singapore idol", "remember this is a singing competition","spend each vote wisely","we will show no more faces on these trailers"
it is sooo damn it obvious this messages are directed at poor joakim. fine he cant sing. but one day when singapore realizes this fact and knows that we dont want someone with weak vocals to be the singapore idol, it will naturally come for joakim to leave idol. i'm sure everyone agrees that those messages are meant to redirect all the joakim fans to cut down on voting for him. him having weak vocals does not give anyone the rights to humiliate him and to make him feel so awkward and guilty when he proceeds on to the next round! think about how he's feeling. you can see from his face he knows he has the weakest vocals. he knows he doesnt deserve this place as much as those with better vocals. he may want to stay in the competition yes, (duh he joined this competition to win but if the judges dont agree then why even pick him from the auditions?), everyone would. but its the fans that votes. he din beg them to vote. he din threaten or anything of that sort. in fact the look on his face when he wasnt in the bottom 3 tonight was just prove that he knows he's not the best.pure shock was what he displayed on his vote-earning face. but i guess the producers of those horribly insulting trailers never thought that he has no control on the voting matters! all he can do is to sing his best on each night and then leave the rest to the screaming-joakim-girls to do their best in supporting him! and i do not fault them for voting for him. when you are a fan of something or someone, no matter what happens to him, how badly he does for the performance, his fans will still be his fans! no change! nobody really considers joakims feelings. how unhappy when he knows the trailers are meant for him. how awkward he feels when he gets the green lights to go on to the next round. he's having a hard time. no need for any trailers to make him feel worse. its just unfair.

i guess this competition is becoming really fan-based. the only way it would work would be if the fans mingle with each other and if more people care to vote. if not this will become a popularity contest between paul, jasmine and joakim. and they arent that strong in singing.
all i want to make clear in this post is that the treatment joakim is recieving is really harsh as he really has no control over how many votes he gets.
