Wujudkan Impian Menjadi Bintang


The world’s biggest singing contest is here in Malaysia and is looking for a star that could be you.

From its humble origins as Pop Idol in the UK to the world phenomenon that it is now with American Idol, this search for a superstar is on everyone’s lips.

With thousands of hopeful wannabe talents, the ever-blunt judges like Simon Cowell, and an audience reach of millions, becoming the ‘Idol’ is the dream of many.

Now Idol has reached Malaysia. Malaysian Idol will be traveling the country visiting Kuching, Penang, Johor Bahru and Kuala Lumpur in May 2004 in a bid to find the first ever Malaysian Idol.

Could it be you?

Hit the mark with the judges and the audience and you can get to win a worldwide recording
contract with BMG (represented by BMG Malaysia), an Artist Management Contract with 19 and
the opportunity to perform at the World IDOL in the UK! WOW!

Are you eligible?

Malaysian Idol is open to all Malaysian citizens and permanent residents. You must be

However, if you do not have a photo today, you can still enter but you must bring a

Could hardly believe it when my mom told me this morning bout Malaysian Idol. sure sure...i've heard bout American Idol, Pop Idol, World Idol...even heard that there was gonna be Singapore Idol. but Malaysian Idol??? and the title's "Wujudkan Impian Menjadi Bintang"? well in translation it's sorta 'make your dream of being a star come true'. hmmm i wonder... how many type of languages of singing is allowed? english, malay, chinese, cantonese, tamil?, bollywood songs??? i have absolutely no idea...i'm just guessing. but DAMN! if i was back home i'd consider going and making a complete fool of myself. but then again maybe not.
hmm...i wonder who would be the judges? anita sarawak??? hopefully no one who resembles simon cowell's evil twin would be a judge. even my mom said that he was too much!!!
anyway...i wonder whether this would be a success...i remember a few years ago they had something like this but not so high profile. well hopefully i'll be back home to catch the auditions episode on tv!
