SRC Member absolut_vodka Posted December 2, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 2, 2004 anyway, why get angry.. its the truth mah... malays are still the minority race here mah, nothing to do with racist or not. which non-malay u know will buy a malay album?? and will not buy not because its no good but because cannot make sense of what is being sung. Even ken lim said that it will be hard to market taufik outside of s'pore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even ken lim said that it will be hard to market taufik outside of s'pore. i bet u can see him in the malaysian market tripple noize did make it there...even faster that the winners CCCrush in talentime to even cut their album IMO local malay music scene no hope malaysia has and they won look whether u come from sg or m'sia lah there nt that shallow but who says taufik is cutting a malay album he will cut an english one... successful album sales or nt i still think the pride is there seeing your album for sale in local music stores... i think this is a debatable issue that will never end..... taufik is our singapore idol end of story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbarik Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 The S'pore Idol is about selecting our very own singer to represent us for the World Idol. Its not about who can make album or who can sell more album. My own opinion: To represent World Idol: Taufik More talented singer: Taufik To sell more album: Sly If I have a recording company, I will select Sly due to bigger marketing potential. But I will definitely not send him for any world singing competition as I do not want others to have a good laugh own S'pore representative!!

SRC Member Clownfish Posted December 2, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 2, 2004 let's not be too pessimistic... maybe taufik is gonna be the guy who will bring glory to our english music industry! just like wat Stephanie did to our chinese music industry!

RAV-65 Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 My own opinion:To represent World Idol: Taufik More talented singer: Taufik To sell more album: Sly Might not be too true, Taufik may sell more albums, coz afterall he got more votes to win!!

giantbicycle Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 wow...just heard the song sang by Taufik on air...nice..nice.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member shiraz Posted December 3, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 3, 2004 from what i assume... when sly comes out with an album.. it won't sell as well as taufik who CAN actually sing! sly, as ppl say, has the looks.. so maybe when they see him perform and sing, his looks overrule his incapability to sing and pronounce proper english words.. BUT when you hear him on radio, it'll be a completely different thing coz now, u can't see him and all u know is that this guy can't pronounce... though there might still be ppl out there supporting him for some reason or another, i think taufik would sell more albums.. on the contrary...... if sly were to sing chinese songs, he would be more marketable then taufik..

SRC Member surfedelic Posted December 3, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 3, 2004 Maybe Olinda, Sly and Taufik ... combine and form a band ... maybe they will sell very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryansimon Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 sly appeals to the raging hormones of girls lah. I'm making one big sweeping statement, but from what I see, a lot of my younger girlfrends will be standing in the rain, just like they did with F4, just to get a five second glimspe of him. not to mention blow half their savings on his paranephalia. did I mention how he may have re-started the ah beng movement?

SRC Member shiraz Posted December 3, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 3, 2004 did I mention how he may have re-started the ah beng movement? it's really been awhile since i saw some1 with his flat rebonded center-parted hairdo.. when was the last time? maybe late 90s? singapore is soooo small.. it can never achieve the standard of voting of american idol.. i've never EVER heard anything on american idol that goes... "an idol is some1 u worship" which indirectly means even if he can't sing! usually it's those who can sing and entertain that gets the votes.. NOT based on how big their fanbase is..

SRC Member yazid Posted December 7, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 7, 2004 The fact that Taufik got 62% vote shows that Singaporean do appreciate quality vocal talent. Most Singer are not succesful in their own country but have to work hard outside the country to make their own name. Most fails. Now that the whole of Singapore know and acknowledged Taufik as the Singapore Idol. Don't you think marketing in Singapore will be much easier. Having your local fan based support here in Singapore will help him spur even further. Let's see how far Taufik will go. I last bought a Madonna album in the late 80's. After so many years, I think I'll be the first few to buy Taufik album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Archilles19 Posted December 7, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 7, 2004 Archilles19, I hope you're malay because your statement does seem a little racist too!! Yes...Im a Malay.... What Im trying to say here is that race is not a factor in this competition...just like the recent American Idol.....finalist consist of white & black. If Sly is a Mly...I wouldn't even wan to vote for him because like I say ...he sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Nautical Posted December 8, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 8, 2004 for fear that sly will win, i actually allowed my children to dial in and spend $10 to vote for taufik. the consensus in the family is unanimous. money well spent for a better selection. on hindsight, imho, the population of callers do have taste. cheers ....

leonardo Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 heard the poll was 700 000 to 400 000 in favour of taufiq. That's a lot of money collected, man.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
