It took us 2 solid months to practise. It was pretty challenging for me this time. I had to really dance (yeah!) and sing at the same time. Choreographed dancing ok. Im only used to swing left and right and do my own freestyles.

I have been doing backing vocal for Hazami since 2002. Yes the good old days, gracing clubs like No Black Tie and Orange, bla this and bla that. Those days were fun as we were all pretty broke but the fun will never stop I guess hehe.

Anyway, Hazami took over the damn small stage (yea it looked huge fr the tv screen but its so small) with Kata, backed by 30-member choir and 7 back-up vocals including Tria (Winner of Audition), Farisz (Top 12 Malaysian Idol), Jimmy (2nd Runner Up Audition) and the not so famous BVs like me kehehe. Congratulations to all of you. Your voices are like angels. Your voices has helped Hazami won Best Vocal Performance. 4 thumbs up (sekali ngan kaki nyer) to my lovely choir boys and soprano girls.

Congratulations to Hazami for winning Pop Rock Category and Best Vocal Performance. Dont care what people say, he deserved to win. He practised really hard for this and Im so proud of him.Gemilang was expected to win. Its a pretty good song. Very strong message, melody and rhythm and also suitable singer. Nonetheless, I still think Jac did overdo her voice a bit too much. I prefer the original style and perhaps she should've sounded bit more 'melayu' la cause everybody at the back, including the crew, beezeebodies and the pakciks@makciks kept on critisicing on why she has to use matsalleh's slang. Well she speaks perfect BM to me anyway. Should be another tip for her to be a superstar. Yes she can go very far with that voice.

I loved Ning's performance. Simple, yet full of expression. Zainal may have angered pencinta hidupan liar semalaysia and perhaps Bomba. Mawi's performance was ok la but not good enough to win. Bad choreography and not in tune with Mawi's style. But its 50% SMS kan. What to do. But he's a good guy (hensem gak face to face woohoo). Its just the fanatic fans. Rohana Jalil's dancers look like corpses. Scared the shit outta me backstage. Noraniza Idris' dancers looked like bakul anyaman yang dah nak rosak hehe. Our performance was pretty good but not good enough to win the viewers at home. Better luck next time. VE flopped like rotten pie. Adam improved a lot but he should've concentrated more on his singing. Azharina was pretty ok. Very powerful vocal but guess the song didnt do the justice to her vocal ability that much. I think meeting Sam of Innuendo was pretty awesome. I requested him to sing me a song and he did! what a voice.

Back to backstage story.Since the make-up room was so damn crowded, I had to sacrifice a lot of my make-up stuff. Yes I had to make-up most of the choir members and the BVs. I didnt bring the standard make-up products fr Maybelline and Silky Girl cause I thought Im goin to do my own make-up at the comfort of the hotel room while the rest of the boys will queue at the make-up room. So I only brought my MACs. After 15 people, my own make-up pon tak buat lagi... already 8pm... aiyohhh nanti abis la make up niiiii dah la mahalllll... hehe just kidding... Perhaps I shall start bein a make-up artist soon haha..

Ok enjoy the photos...
