Daniel Our Malaysian Idol!

Nita and Daniel gave us a good show in Genting The Arena of Stars. Singing their competition best and most memorable song thorughout the season.

Congratulations, Daniel. [More]

Bilingual Classic Night

In this sixth spectacular, the top five Ash, Daniel, Farah, Faizull & Nita will sang 2 classics, one in Malay and the other in English, to showcase their versatility and their potential to shine for local and internationaly market! It was probably one of the best spectaculars so far in this season with Daniel gave a more than convincing pleasant performance in Angin Malam, and Nita gave a naughty surprise with her Big Spender. Finally the tide has changed, as two guys surprisingly became the bottom three with Farah. And finally, when it was down to Faizull and Ash, Ash's dream to become the second Malaysian Idol finally crashed. [More]

Rock Night with Jeff Timmons

In this fifth spectacular, the top six Adam, Ash, Daniel, Farah, Faizull & Nita rocked the stage. Unfortunately, it was another disasterous rock week just like season 1, even though guest judge Jeff Timmons (former singer of US pop group 98 Degrees) maintained his diplomatic comments throughout the show.
Rock night gave us an opportunity to see another side of Ash who took the night's best performance by his rendition of U2's With or Without You. Farah gave a gutsy but messy Alanis Morrisette's You Oughta Know, while Nita got the most harsh comments over her shaky peerformance. Many expected the night belonged to Faizull but his diction ruined the English number (Don't Cry, ironic enough) by Guns N Roses. However, it was the lack of fanbase plus his off performance on Friday which got Adam voted off. [More]

Terrified for a short while, Xerra was sent back to the couch to join the rest. And between Nita and Azam, his performance with a rose did not help. Azam, the judges' pick suffered the same fate as Sufiah of Season 1, when he failed to garner enough votes to stay another week. [More]

Workshop 2 produced a result which came to a shock to at least two judges as their top pick Adam didn't get as much vote and instead the spot was taken by Ash who underperformed on Friday night.
