First, I need to explain what is ASQ. it was ATQ for the past ten years. yes, i am talking about the Astro Talent Quest. rename after 10 years? i guess what really happen was they finally realise ATQ cant really make it. The misconception of the word Talent vs Star. do you look for a artiste with talent or star quality. of course in every competition, people are hoping to find a Star with talent kinda contestant. but i think Astro failed terribly last year. why? See... le me present you the winner of ATQ 2007.
Leng Zai mou?
where's the QA? is the QA working?
That's why lah.. the decide to change the name this year to Astro Star Quest. You look like a star or not? or you look like Zax 李政发? :P
ok.. back to the topic. ASQ vs 星光帮. btw, the result is 2 - 3. 3 goes to 星光帮. here are my analysis.
too panic. i dont think her voice is special either. not sure why she was sent to taiwan. She sang Love Love Love... but i dont feel love at all. PK Failed.
she chose a wrong song. "shi lian wu zui". in Msia, maybe can.. but in taiwan, this song is too famous, too many contestant chosen the song before. even last week's pk (the old lady that beat Sugie) also sang that song. That song is Taiwan's 3rd anthem (after gary's pei pan). Her rendition is not powerful enough. PK Failed.
He did a self compose rap (so so only) + abit of singing (mumbling) again, i dunno why he was sent there. yeah, he can dance very well.. i mean his popping skills is good.. but then a singing competition, is still about singing. i dunno why he was given 18points and pk-ed the cute baby of 星光 3 :( sad... but still, i m not very impress with his vocal. and he look kinda cocky. if you watch Astro's battle ground. then u know why. PK Success!
Lin Kin Fai's sister. Good vocal. although she failed to showcase her "dolphin voice". her suara pecah in the tunnel.. i repeated twice :). manage to hit 20 points (the only 1 from Msia). good job & good soing choice. suit her vocal so well. i think she got her brother to thanks a well. he must been a good mentor to her. she will be back again this week. lets see what happen. PK Success! must be humble ok, babe?!
too much of 'crying vocal'. over using it is weird. errm... doesn't impress me much. not sure why she is there as well. PK Failed.
Looking forward for next episode. Top 5 will be born :)

Apple iPhone 3G : Twice as fast. Half the price. •
"Just one year after launching the iPhone, we're launching the new iPhone 3G that is twice as fast at half the price," said Apple chief executive Steve Jobs. "iPhone 3G supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync right out of the box, runs the incredible third party apps created with the iPhone SDK, and will be available in more than 70 countries around the world this year."
In the US the new iPhone 3G will be priced at just $199 for the 8GB model and $299 for the 16GB model when it goes on sale July 11. The new touch-screen handset will also be available in more than 70 countries later this year, beginning with customer availability in 22 countries -- Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and the US -- also on July 11.
iPhone 3G gives users ever faster access to the Internet and email over their cellular network with quad-band GSM and tri-band HSDPA for voice and data connectivity around the world. It supports Wi-Fi, 3G and EDGE networks and automatically switches between them to ensure the fastest possible download speeds. The new iPhone 3G also makes it easier to multi-task with simultaneous voice and data communications, so with iPhone 3G you can browse the web, get map directions, or check your email while you are on a call.
Each iPhone 3G will include iPhone 2.0 software which includes the new App Store, providing users with native applications in a variety of categories including games, business, news, sports, health, reference and travel. The App Store on iPhone works over cellular networks and Wi-Fi, which means it is accessible from just about anywhere, so you can purchase and download applications wirelessly and start using them instantly. Some applications are even free and the App Store notifies you when application updates are available. The App Store will be available in 62 countries at launch, Apple said.
Good News Is.. 1. it support ActiveSync 2. it's way cheaper now!! 3. Black & white version. sleek design 4. Faster internet access
Let wait at see if they will be coming to Malaysia. Digi? Maxis? Celcom? Nothing concrete yet, so we can only wait & see....
