HERE WE GO!

YES! YES! YES!

Akhirnya saya menang pertaruhan.
Hu hu, small betting, with my husband je...

Sama seperti kebanyakan kita, saya juga hantu Mentor walaupun selalu lupa nak tunggu siarannya. Nasib baik ada yang selalu mengingatkan.
From the first concert, I adores Salma very much.
Mungkin sikit-sikit dipengaruhi oleh mentornya Erra Fazira yang saya minat gila-gila.
Biasalah saya kan juga insan biasa... huh huh..

Previous concert I was so mad bila Salma dapat tempat ketiga dalam pemilihan finalis konsert akhir. Saya rasa she was not being given fair judgement. I strongly believe she was the most outstanding one in the competition. She be herself, and she always did it her way. Her only mistake was when she sang Nirmala. First tone dia je saya dah rasa, 'habislah...'. That song spoiled her image.

Bila diumumkan Mentor akan serapkan all 3 to final, saya rasa relieved sangat.  Even rasanya ada orang kata it was a mission to rescue Salma, but I believe whoever came out with the idea had rescued the music and art intelectual. 

I even told my husband, "Kalau Salma tak masuk final, awak jangan buka Final Mentor nanti! And I will boycott Mentor forever!"
Heh, melampau betullah manusia yang menulis ini...

And malam ini when they did their show, saya masih memilihnya.
She's too good, honest and be herself.
Walaupun saya juga sependapat dengan Dato' Ramli MS
that her low notes tak berapa clear as Jack's voice, still she shined!

Sebabnya, honestly saya dah biasa tengok yang ala-ala lemah lembut, sopan dan baik macam Shiha 

dan selalu dah ada yang grand macam Iqa. 

Tapi pun they were good... sebab mentor diorang pun bukan calang orang kan. 

Especially Edry yang memang sentiasa ada idea kreatif, 

I think he and his brothers are really the genius Malay in art & music.

My husband said lagu baru untuk Shiha and Iqa were much better that Salma's. 

No, no, no... Salma's new song is much better.
The conclusion is no matter what, Salma was the best of all!

Dan bila first round markah dipaparkan I was so frustrated bila dia dapat 16, lowest among the others. Juri awam.. juri awam... My husband smile was so irritating!
Tapi dalam hati, saya tetap kata she will make it trough tonight.
Rasanya dalam banyak-banyak instinct saya menonton competition, pilihan saya selalunya tepat.

And eventually! She got 83, jauh tu tinggalkan 2 pesaingnya yang lain!

Saya ni kan suka berangan... tapi tidaklah sampai jadi mat jenin. 

Still ada line nak berangan apa dan bagaimana dan sampai bila.

Bila first lihat Salma sings, saya dah rasa saya mampu menyelami kesungguhan dia, 

so I let Salma carry my fantasy's soul. 

Huh huh.. konon-kononnya sayalah tu yang berjuang...

 Jangan marah ye! Nanti kena jual...

In the other performances, she did excellent.
Tapi dia comel sangat bila nyanyi lagu ni kan...
