Anugerah Juara Lagu 22

isnt this great, a competition where artists compete to become the best in the business?? why isnt this made in Singapore, it would definitely improve our music industry. wouldnt it be great to see taufik, hady, imran ajmain(BLUEK!), anugerah winners, sleeq, and other old timers in one stage fighting for their bragging rights??

Best Overall Song and Best Song (Pop/Rock)

Estranged - Itu Kamu.

no doubt their performance was superb and by far the best band of the night. the vocals was outstanding and the remake of the song to have a soft start was very effective in a concert. sofaz's janjiku was just a normal performance and did not get the crowd going, i must say that jinbara could have easily won it if not for their kaku-ness. haha. cheers estranged! this song has been in my mp3 for ages cos itsc chorus is just addictive!

Best Song (Ballad)

kaer Azami - Izinku Pergi

this song definitely has attracted lots of listeners in our region, a touch of R&B was enough. But i thought that maybe if Faizal tahir had not thrown his career away with that stupid stripping of his, Kaer could have been easy meat for him. Kaer too wasn't present that night as he's studying in Indonesia, therefore an unknown singer named Sahri sang the song. i'm not impressed by how he sang that song. Kaer sings 10 times better than him. huuhuu. hey, im just sad that Faizal Tahir's double song Kasih Tercipta and Mahakarya Cinta did not win anything due to other people singing it for him. shit! im a Faizal fanatic!

Best Song ( Creative Ethnic)

Nora - Samudera

oh well, this category was where the old timers compete, i must say that i felt that Ramlah Ram sang quite well. she should have won!

Best Performance

Mawi - Angan Dan Sedar

even though i hate him sometimes, i felt that his performance was very entertaining, energetic, fun and very Melayu. haha. he is not the type of male artist that is cool or the modern malay artist like taufik batisah or Fiq, he is in fact living up to his tag as Jamal Abdillah and M.Nasir's disciples. he can sing all those Malay that reminds us of songs back in the 90s and 80s. maybe that is why we dont quite like him, but i cant deny that he sings and entertains well.

Best Vocals

Jaclyn Victor ft Lah Ahmad(V.E) - Ceritera Cinta

what??! how come they won? i dont understand. i love this song, dont get me wrong. i just didnt like the vocals that night. it was sooo over! we know how Jac tends to overdo in her songs, but Lah has followed her path, and i was forced to listen to two of them shouting more than singing. i especially did not like how Lah sang that song, Rio febrian did it in a cool and relaxed way, Lah kept shaking and moving his head to make those kind of effect on the voice, but to do it so often in the song is so damaging to the song itself. and did anyone noticed how he almost lost it in the end when he tried to go for the highest note? hmm. poor choice voters..
