In just 2 hours and 30 minutes, the 22nd edition of Anugerah Juara Lagu closed its curtain with some surprises (at least to me). Before I go down with the results, let me comment few things on the Anugerah Juara Lagu.
First of all, I like this year’s event because even with four presenters, all of them did not talk about random things like there is no tomorrow. They also did not try to outshine each other by stop talking when they need to. And the most important thing is, they did not come out with lame jokes – maybe with one or two here and there, but overall, they did their job very well.
Secondly, I really like this year’s theme, which is Music is Magic. And the stage that was built for the event really captured the theme very well. Unlike previous years, they had a very simple circle stage, which put emphasise more on the performance by the artists rather distracting audiences with elaborate stage decorations. And of course, the intermission performance was nicely choreographed. I like how the tried to use songs to tell the story of two people in love.
Next, all contestants really gave their best performances. For the first time ever, I actually love all performances – there was no such thing as a boring performance in this year’s Anugerah Juara Lagu. Congratulations to all!
And now lets go to the results. For Best Vocal Awards, at first, I thought Nora was going to win the awards, but when I saw Jaclyn and Lah’s performance, I knew that they would win the awards – turned out, I was right. At the beginning, when I saw the concept of Siti Nurhaliza’s performance, I was almost sure that she was going to win the Best Performance Awards, until I saw Mawi’s changing clothes act. And surely enough, Mawi won the awards.
After 6 times battling her way through Anugerah Juara Lagu, finally, on her seventh try, Nora went home with something in her hand. Maybe there is such thing as, seventh times a charm. She won the Song of the Year Awards for Ethnic Creative with the composer, Johan Nawawi, and the lyricist, Ahmad Fedtri Yahya.
The next awards is, Song of the Year Awards for Ballad. I was almost sure that Kasih Tercipta was going to win but in the end it was Izinku Pergi’s night. Sahri sang the song very well I think they deserve it. Izinku Pergi was composed by Azlan Abu Hassan while the lyrics were written by Sulu Sarawak.
In the Pop/Rock Category, I never thought that Itu Kamu would win. In my last post, I predicted Farhana but in the end, Estranged managed to clinch that awards. This song was composed by Estranged themselves while the lyrics were written by the vocalist of the group, Rich. And of course, Itu Kamu was also crowned as the winner of the Song of the Year Awards. Congratulations to Estranged, and congratulations to other winners as well. Since the video of Anugerah Juara Lagu has not been uploaded on youtube yet, I’ll post the video clip instead.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the winner of the 22nd Anugerah Juara Lagu – Itu Kamu by Estranged.
Yes, I think I am becoming obsessed with this Malay Drama show. I always look forward to watching the show every day. The irony of Angkara Cinta is despite the title of the show, it is not a love story at all. At least not to me. Sure, the are several love stories in the show such as Luqman and Adira, Haqeem and Adira, Haqeem and Jijie, and Luqman and Adira again, but these love stories are just in the background and do not form the major part of the storyline. The reason I say this is because if you take away these love stories, Angkara Cinta would still stand on its own. We would still be able to see the struggle of Luqman and Haqeem, as well as, Indah and Mariani in dealing with the situations that they are in. And to me, that's what makes Angkara Cinta great and stand out relative to other Malay Drama on the television nowadays. The show also highlighted several mental health issues that are not talked about in Malaysia generally, and the Malay community specially. Malays, for
Many detractors of Tun Dr Mahathir blamed him for causing the fall of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government in February 2020. They blamed him for quitting his position for no apparent reasons whatsoever. To be honest, none of us (save for a select few) really know what had happened behind the curtains and behind Tun's thick skull. As long as we are not Tun himself or those select few, we are all merely speculating at best. To me, I just want to focus on what Tun had said publicly because those are on record and no one can really dispute them. Tun had repeatedly said that he had resigned because he no longer had the support of the parliament as Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu). Two things here, mathematically, what Tun said about the his support from the parliament is true. Secondly, this was what Tun had said, what really went behind the scene was really up to anyone's guess. For one moment, let us just take Tun's words at their face value. The moment Tun felt that he
In just one more day, 2011 will draw its final curtain. And looking back over the last twelve months made me realized how far have I come this year. 2011 has always been a very personal year to me, especially since I have started to plan for my engagement ceremony since July 2010 (Yes, that's how long I've been planning my wedding). I guess the highlight of the year began with significant change in my work. It was in March 2011 where I was finally given the opportunity to cover the Airline sector after lobbying for it since I joined the department in February 2009. I'm not saying the Consumer sector was not fun, but the Airline sector has always been a dear to me since I joined the company. But I guess, the Airline sector proved to be a lot tougher to cover than I expected. I had anticipated cyclical earnings and high risk from jet fuel price volatility but, MAS gave a whole different challenge to my skills as an analyst. The next highlight for the year was my engagement ce
