Why do I watch AF??? (Khas untuk org yg kutuk aku, cerempet la korang)
Let's put it this way...sebab pertama, I look at it as a show which never fails to amuse me. Its Hillarious.
Takdelah I nak buang kredit afundi apa bagai or tido tak lena mandi tak basah...I tetap tidak menyingkatkan rutin mandi I yang 3 jam tu semata-mata nak tengok AF or tegar pi tengok Star Trek dalam hujan kan.
Sebabnya, when we watch reality show on tv, kita kena kosongkan fikiran, buang kita punya conscience and sanity jauh-jauh. That's the art and regulation of watching these kind of shows.Because,so much as it been called 'reality show' it is far for being realistic. Penuh kepura-puraan dan kepoyoan. That's the fact. Maybe the only realistic 'reality show' are The Apprentice and America's Next Top Model kot. Sama seperti guys watching WWF , of course they are fully aware that it was all made up, but they watched it anyway and had fun watching big brainless guys slamming each other beside drooling over those busty bimbos yang kena pegang sepanduk sampai tertonggeng, just to make sure that their silicon jugs appear bigger. That same kind of concept.
Back to AF , I enjoyed the audition more than their concert. In fact like Kak Shana , I prefer to watch the final concert je. Oh God its funny and stress reliever to see those wannabes came for audition. Most of them were just making fun of themselves.There were some yang percaya dengan sesungguh hati bahawa mereka ya amat berbakat, walaupun realitinya blender cili lagi melodious from their singing. Tone deaf. There were also jenis pelik-pelik and aneh-aneh too. Yang paling ramai adalah yang tak tau malu langsung.Ada yang sanggup datang naik perahu semata-mata nak pergi audition. Siapa kata rakyat Malaysia tak gigih, tulah lambang semangat waja dan yakin diri. Mereka percaya pada diri sendiri walaupun yang menengoknya menyanyi tu sumenye dah macam tengok citer Ju-On , seram-seram geli. Nak gelak pun tak sampai hati kerana keyakinan diri mereka itu.
Sebab kedua, I suka tengok kerja keras production team Astro. How they manage to come out with a tend setter programme like AF. Their marketing strategy, how they promote their products. They went extra miles to create such a bombastic show like that. And to sustain the programme until the 7th Season, patut dijadikan bench mark to other tv stations. Datuk Seri Utama Dr Rais Yatim patut ambil perhatian kalau tak nak RTM ditumbuhi lumut . Memang la in the final concert mesti timbul lawak2 bangsawan yang mereka panggil gimik, macam panggil Lisa Surihani la panggil bini contestant jadi model video klip bla bla, adalah agak gampan#...tetapi kita patut tengok daripada sudut berbeza, iaitu they are willing to spend to that extend. And its only their inhouse project, but they do it in Bukit Jalil, with setting yang gempak (although AC meloyakan) apa bagai. Berbaloi la I bayar ASTRO tiap bulan kan. And they sanggup pulak dah panggil wartawan hiburan tanahair berdebat pasal contestant punya show la, pasal baju dia tak kena la, pasal derang sakit tekak la, pasal derang gaduh la.....memang silly...but it gave the show extra mileage. Wartawan bagi coverup kat derang.And look how they market product2 derang. Orang lain tak kenal pun takpe, takde job luar pun takpe jugak, coz they would always have chances to become resident artist, jadi DJ radio station derang sendiri, pengacara rancangan terbitan derang sendiri and berlakon drama derang sendiri.
Sebab lain, sesuatu yang menyeronokkan tengok mak bapak yang sampai nangis2 dan berdoa untuk anak dapat masuk AF (APAKAHHH???) Betapa fanatiknya rakyat Malaysia terhadap AF dok? Punya lah AF tu dah jadi satu brand of its own, sampai kan mamat & minah kat pedalaman Borneo nun, yang tak mampu pun pasang piring mangkuk Astro , but surprisingly, they know AF and gigih pergi audition. Seronok juga tengok set-set yang masa masuk AF tu berlemoih tetiba transform after a few weeks. Seronok tengok budak kilang dj restoran tetiba jadi satu fenomena walaupun kita masih cuba nak faham pasal lah orang suka sangat kat dia nih, sampaikan wartawan stesen TV lain pun sampai kena bergaduh ngan pak cik guard sebab dapat assignment cover majlis nikah dia. All because of the branding yang berjaya diciptakan oleh ASTRO. Tak hebat ke??
Apepun, I suka Hafiz kerana dalam ramai2 badut, he stands out. Aizat pun product AF and he's good , kan Kak Kay? Dalam ramai yang geli tu , ramai jugak yang ada genuinely gifted. Yuna pun pernah audition AF ape....
I suka Hafiz menang sebab takut Aril menang, sebab I rasa lelaki yang jelita dan kurang berbulu mempunyai masalah dan kekeliruan dengan seksualitinya.....
