I did not watch Malaysian Idol (MI) at all last year except for the Final. I'm an Akademi Fantasia follower all the way. I caught a glimpse of the audition that is ongoing right now and was taken aback at the similarity of the American offerings. Not so much as to the mannerism of the judges, but the behaviour of the prospective idols that came for the audition.
Served as highlights, it showed Malaysians swearing at being rejected. Long blips, short blips, and everyone is PROUD to do it. By golly, I don't think I will watch MI again. It is utterly disgusting and more importantly disheartened that we, the loving, caring, friendly and courteous Malaysian saw it fitting to emulate the characteristics of the Americans. How disrespectful, and we practise it with pride. Holy ravioli, am I missing something here?? Why so we do this?? Guess they got confused with the notion of being Modernised and Americanised. Aiyaa, tak tau lah ...
