1,2,3 idols not enough

i've never been into those idol and superstar shows a lot. only enough to know how taufik looks like, how sylvester, wei lian, the pan jia li, hong jun yang and his that sweet looking girlfriend dunno-wat-name and shi xin hui look like. like that i think quite not bad for me already. and just when the jun yang guy comes out with his own album, the coming singapore idol is well under way into i-dunno-which-round. just when the PREVIOUS stars stars idols idols finalists step their foot into getting their names out on the music cds that you buy and i buy, the search for new faces is hard on again. singapore got so hard-up on talents for our local entertainment scene meh? i was musing. the last batch of stars stars idols idols haben even warmed the tv sets, haben even planted enough ear worms through the radio sets, our blind producers also want to copy the western counterpart in having the next singapore idol so soon. ok lah, maybe during the season where the stars stars idols idols' faces were always seen on tv, they manage to create some sort of impression on many, including me who don't even watch local tv much. even though we know singapore only have that few faces to remember and they might still be fresh in our memories somehow, but i feel that they are somewhat in the process of disappearing. surely this is not the way to cultivate our young local talents? if having faces come and go is supposed to spice up the scene, it is a damn wasteful method lor i think. singapore only how big, i think only the US is still doing pretty successful sequels of american idol, the rest who had caught up with the idol fever for that one time seemed to have abandoned ship already. i might be wrong, maybe there is still australian idol or whatever idol elsewhere i didnt bother to follow up, but the underlying idea is: global idol fever has reduced to lukewarm, and i figured they are more keen on following up with watching THE american idol rather than come up with their own idols that probably didn't and knew won't last long too. it seems like only our sunny little island is still hardcore on these stuff apparently. what was the passing fad is still siao-on in singapore entertainment industry, no wonder it hasn't made much progress. like this hor very sad case one.
