ENGLISHPre-note: I think the entry about my trip to Jakarta has to be postponed yet until next Sunday because I think I should write this entry first before the topic is so off to date... :)
Finally this week, 2 my favorite reality shows, officially started. They are The Amazing Race All-Stars and American Idol 2007 (well, actually American Idol was started about 1 month ago, but for me, the real American Idol starts from the workshop round (top 24)). Because last Monday I was so busy in Jakarta, so this week I missed the first episode of TAR All-Stars... :( (but I still can catch the last rerun next Sunday night... :D).
Okay, so let's talk about American Idol this week. Just like the past 2 years, all contestants were split into 2 groups, men and women (each of 12). Well, based on this week performances, I think I'm kinda disappointed with the men . None of them were really really great. Probably they were so nervous... :) If I have to pick 6 guys to fill the 6 seats in the top 12 round, now I can only pick one or two guys because the rest of them were just SOOO ordinary and not special. I really want to see their next performances next week.
It was so different with the women group. They were A LOT better than the guys. Well, not saying all the 12 girls were great, some were also weak actually (such as Antonella Barba, Alaina Alexandre, and Amy Krebs). However, some were SO stunning, especially Lakisha Jones. She definitely was the best amongst the all 24 contestants based on their first performances. One of Simon's commentary after Lakisha sang was pretty surprising: "I'm so tempted to say to the other 23 people to book your flights home". Some other women were also great for me, Melinda Doolittle, Stephanie Edwards, Jordin Sparks, Sabrina Sloans, and Haley Scarnato. The other were good, but not really great... :)
Who I think are gonnabe voted off this week?? Hmmm... . I'm sure by the time I write this entry, the result has already been announced there in The US, but I don't wanna see or read it on the internet since I wanna make myself nervous this evening, he3... :) But IMO, I think Sundance Head & Rudy Cardenas/Sanjaya Malakar (men) and Antonella Barba & Amy Krebs (women) would potentially get voted off this week. Btw, I usually am wrong with this thingy, he3... :)

I've watched the Result Show of American Idol and apparently, my guess was 50% correct. From the guys, Paul Kim and Rudy Cardenas were cut, and from the girls, Amy Krebs and Nicole Tranquillo were cut. Well, I think Nicole Tranquillo and Paul Kim actually still deserve another shot to continue their journeys. They were not that great this week, but also not that bad and some other contestants were even worse than them. I dunno why Sundance is still there, and I think Antonella and Alaina were so lucky because they are pretty... :) But this is just my opinion, vote has spoken, and let's see their performances next week.

BAHASA INDONESIAPre-note: Kayaknya postingan tentang perjalanan saya ke Jakarta harus ditunda dulu deh sampe Minggu soale kan kayaknya aku mesti nulis postingan ini dulu sebelum topiknya jadi bener-bener basi ntar... :)
Akhirnya minggu ini, 2 reality show favorit saya, secara resmi dimulai. Mereka adalah The Amazing Race All-Stars dan American Idol 2007 (hmm, sebenernya American Idol dah dimulai sekitar sebulan yang lalu sih, tapi untuk aku, American Idol yang sebenernya baru dimulai pada babak workshop (24 besar)). Nah, karena Senin kemarin aku sibuk banget di Jakarta, jadi aku melewatkan episode pertama dari TAR All-Stars... :( (tapi aku masih bisa liat rerun terakhirnya besok Minggu malem sih... :D).
Oke, mari kita ngomong2 tentang American Idol minggu ini. Seperti 2 tahun belakangan ini, kontestan dipisah ke dalam 2 grup, laki-laki dan perempuan (masing-masing 12). Berdasarkan penampilan minggu ini, kayaknya sih aku agak kecewa deh sama grup laki-lakinya. Nggak ada yang benar-benar bagus. Mungkin karena grogi sih... :) Tapi kalo aku harus memilih 6 laki-laki untuk mengisi 6 kursi di 12 besar, wah, sekarang aku baru bisa memilih sekitar 1 atau 2 orang aja soalnya sisanya SANGAT biasa sekali dan nggak spesial. Aku bener2 menunggu penampilan mereka minggu depan.
Berbeda sekali dengan grup perempuannya. Mereka JAUH lebih baik daripada grup laki-laki. Nggak ngomong semua 12 orang bagus loh, ada beberapa yang lemah sebenernya (misalnya Antonella Barba, Alaina Alexandre, dan Amy Krebs). Tetapi, beberapa benar-benar memukau, terutama Lakisha Jones. Dia 100% adalah yang terbaik dari kesemua 24 kontestan pada penampilan pertama. Salah satu komentarnya Simon setelah Lakisha nyanyi ngagetin juga tuh: "Aku sangat ingin bilang ke 23 kontestan lainnya untuk memesan tiket pulang ke rumah". Beberapa perempuan lain juga bagus sih menurutku, Melinda Doolittle, Stephanie Edwards, Jordin Sparks, Sabrina Sloans, dan Haley Scarnato. Sisanya bagus, tapi nggak bagus banget... :)
Siapa yang menurutku akan tereliminasi minggu ini?? Hmmm... . Aku yakin pada saat aku menulis postingan ini, hasilnya udah keluar di Amerika sana, tapi aku nggak mau liat atau membacanya di internet soale aku mau membuat diriku deg-degan ntar malem, he3... :) Tapi menurutku, kayaknya Sundance Head & Rudy Cardenas/Sanjaya Malakar (laki-laki) dan Antonella Barba & Amy Krebs (perempuan) akan berpotensi untuk tereliminasi minggu ini. Oya, aku biasanya salah loh dalam hal-hal semacam ini, he3... :)

Aku dah nonton Result Show dari American Idol, dan ternyata tebakan saya benar 50%. Dari grup laki-laki, Paul Kim dan Rudy Cardenas tereliminasi, dan dari grup perempuan, Amy Krebs dan Nicole Tranquillo tereliminasi. Hmm, menurutku sih Nicole Tranquillo sama Paul Kim masih lumayan berhak untuk bertahan minggu ini. Mereka memang nggak bagus banget minggu ini, namun juga nggak jelek-jelek amat ah dan beberapa kontestan lain malah juga lebih jelek. Aku nggak tau kenapa Sundance masih disana, dan menurutku Antonella dan Alaina beruntung soalnya mereka cakep... :) Tapi ini kan cuma pendapatku saja, voting sudah berbicara, dan mari kita liat penampilan mereka minggu depan.
