Indonesian Idol

I mentioned that I had lost my interest in American Idol. So I switched my attention to other similar show. Indonesian Idol.
It's actually the same as the American's except that, to put in a modest way, it's idiotic.

Am sure that the final show will showcase the best talents there are in Indonesia, but the qualifying round is so ridiculous.
This season, they put together a new team of judges, consisting of three singers and, really, a former MTV DJ. Well, I guess it's better than the previous team, which included a music video director and a radio DJ.
Probably the producer put the DJ to become the Simon, providing suicide-inducing remarks. But from the show that I watched last night, the only remarks that I heard was "Oh you have finished?". Like I said: idiotic. Maybe they should put somebody with better music sense as the judge, such as Tukul, or a kettle.

And the contestants. They're really aware that this show is going to be a once in a lifetime chance for them to look stupid on national TV. One contestant even did a Spanish dance, which was very complicated because the only thing that I saw moved was his right leg. "It's Spanish", he said, as if it explained the whole thing

But it's a singing competition for crying out loud. It's where people open their mouth and other people expect a good melody. So far what they do was open their mouth and people expect something witty from the judge. So I think I would pass on this show also. Unless they add a kettle in the judging team.
