Indonesian Idol Season 5

Oh well... This crazy TLO has followed this season of Indonesian Idol from youtube. Well, it is very very entertaining. Although a little bit irritated with those cheering-all-the-time live spectators, I still want to watch it live from Sarbini (no chance though...). Few links for stuff I have considered as bloody darn good. By no means it is meant to be a professional judgement... Just a personal view of a layman with a lousy voice. Will definitely update this list till the end, I guess. Feel free to recommend good ones...

When I was scrolling to Aji's Ketahuan video, accidentally stumbled upon a comment, saying that Winda's (II1) version of Sang Dewi is way much better than Titi DJ's (original singer) one. Since Dyna performed that one as well, I decided to check it out and yeah! It was waaay better... The feel is there. Come on Titi DJ... The song is very mellow yet when it is sung by her I was disgusted at her smiling-all-song-length routine. Come on.... Mellow time yo!
Titi DJ - Original
Winda II1 - Crispy, uh I mean cover

Disappointing week... No one is good enough to entertain me other than Andy's copy of Anang and Rhoma Irama haha... But then... OMG!!!! Javanese Rap! Ubercool!!!! (but only THAT part, Aji was not THAT good that day, Aris is so so, and Ibeth is out sigh..)

Witing tresna jalaran saka kulina
Jarene wong Jawa nek kowe tresna
Mangan ora enak sinau ora isa
Pokoke ora enak wae nganggo ngapa ngapa

Dyna was decent but she's getting boring! Always that ballad type... Sigh, come on, the theme is Fresh... But I think Patudu was good this time round in my eyes. He sang that heartache song with all his heart which is good! Maybe I want to sing it too? (err..) Pity him though for his heartbreak... Aris and Beto were nothing special, while Aji's surprise this time involving a change of rhytm. On the side note, TLO is feeling mad upon the loss of another rocker!
