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.
Malaysian Members of the Parliament (MP) are a disgrace to the country! That is all I have to say after watching how those MPs behaving like a bunch of idiots. It is a wasted effort by Malaysians having to queue up to elect them during General Election only to see them acting like MONKEYS in the Parliament. I know it is normal for MPs to shout at each other over certain issues, but it is OK if they are shouting at each other fighting for the cause of people who voted for them. Malaysians voted for you because they want you to represent their voice in the Parliament. In the end, will the shouting benefits the people? NO, because the real issue that was debated at first was dropped at the end of the shouting as if it was a meaningless issue. It is not a surprise to see why it took the Parliament a very long time to pass a bill only to realize later that the bill has lots of overlooked loopholes. Then, the people will protest the new bill and they will have to bring it back to the Parliam...
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 ...
I recently read a blog of someone who I had just met a w eek ago. This person is just like any ordinary person - or so I thought. It turned out that there's more to this person. When I had a conversation with him, I noticed that he has a very refreshing way of looking at things. It's not that the way he thinks is totally out of the box but, it was just plain refreshing. I'm further impressed by his manners and attitude in life. And then when I read his blog, it inspires me to revive this blog. I guess I've forgotten what blogging was all about. Blogging is all about writing on whatever that ticks you. It does not have to be long, but just enough to highlight what you believe in. So I hope that this will be the new beginning of this blog. And to this person, thank you for inspiring me to do something that I have long left behind.
