Your Showbiz Sista and Abang bring you the low down of the run down that was the Singapore Idol grand finale.
7.50pm. We arrive at the Singapore Indoor Stadium and we’re greeted by two people carrying boxes of light sticks. “Are you a Sylvia or Sezairi fan?” asks the lady, who tells me that if I’m a Sylvia supporter, I get a pink light stick, if I’m a Sezairi fan I get a cyan one. I haven’t decided, I tell her, can I get both? She looks at me, then says, “If you support Sylvia…” Score one for intransigence then.
10.33pm. As we go to break, they get this girl called Charice to come on. We know a couple of things about her: She’s from the Philippines, she’s smaller than any of the other people on stage, but she’s got a bigger voice and she’s appeared on Oprah and Ellen. The Muttons interview her, but before she can say two sentences, she gets cut off because we’re coming back from break in 5-4-3-2-. “Well that was quite short,” she says.
Gurmit introduces Charice and she proceeds to blow everyone else away with her powerhouse vocals, singing two Whitney Houston numbers. I’d vote for her.
The crowd screams. Gurmit is screaming at the end of the performance too (someone forgot to tell him that he had a mic). She looks at him like, “dude, what are you on?” but still agrees to sing one more song, something about a Note to God. I don’t know. I’m still too stunned.

That means @8 dollars per ticket, almost 10 Million movie goers so far have watched Charice and now knows her and the best part about it is, it’s only been showing 4 days. You’re talking about maybe 20 to 30 Million movie goers in 2 weeks. It is mind boggling when this movie hits the International Market, another 40 to 50 million people? When her CD finally comes out is what I like about it, people will be reminded that hey this is the singer in the Chipmunks movie, they will wonder if she really is good then maybe 3 or 4 out of 10 will buy her CD just out of curiousity. Is this possible? What do you guys think?
