8TV 2nd Anniversary Birthday Bash at 1 Utama

I spent my entire Saturday afternoon at 1 Utama to witness 8TV's 2nd Birthday Bash. What got me excited was the fact that 8TV's personalities and stars from Malaysian Idol would be there. Okay, I admit - I am a big fan of Marion and I wanted to meet her in person; just her really. I did! Just three words to describe her - 'Down To Earth'. Malaysian's Most Beautiful top 3 was also present but that was secondary. I didn't think any of them is Beautiful; in any way at all. We were also introduced to cast from a new local production called 'KL Lights'. All in all, I had a great time and I had ample opportunities to sharpen up my photography skills.


Adam and Marion live on 8TV Quickie from 1 Utama


Phat Fabes and Rina fooling around on stage. Although not as popular as Adam and Marion but nevertheless a perfect match. Both of them have a chemistry that makes Quickie fun to watch!


All the 4 8TV Quickie hosts on stage! Both Phat Fabes and Adam are teasing Marion about her UZap commercial which she is the model... =D


Marion laughs...


Happy Birthday 8TV... the Baby mascott now gets bigger.


Marion jokingly looking for Adam's Adams Apple =D He has... surprisingly - NONE!


Host of Reel Reviews, Naz is one of the cast from the new local production - KL Lights which is to be aired on 8TV from February 12th...

While the 'Pinkies' (supposedly Daniel's fans) were already crowding up the place, we were served 2 songs by each of the Malaysian Idol finalists both from Season 1 and Season 2. I have only seen them on TV and is quite exciting seeing them singing live for the first time.


Victor from Malaysia Idol 1 sang 2 songs and it was honestly, beautifully rendered... and sometimes I wonder why they did not perform as good while in competition.


Vic rendering a Jackie Cheung song... He has improved vocally but still quite nervous on stage (at least I sense it to be this way)


Dina displayed a powerful performance. Bravo!! Her voice is bold and strong. She even brought her own dancers and danced along with them. Talking about showmanship, Dina has it all!


Adam chatting up with the 3 finalists of 'Malaysia's Most Beautiful'... and I seriously hope and pray (and hope and pray) that none would vote for Jessie. She is a serious case of syiok sendiri and worse of all, extremely pretentious. Oh GAWD!!! Just vote her out!


I agree - Daniel has a Superstar appeal and his fan base is huge. However, he still stinks at singing. I don't think he is improving at all. His singing is still so pitchy. I know it's not easy for any stars performing in a huge crowd... but I doubt he feels the slightest pressure singing pretty badly (IMHO) in front of his Pinkies fans! Not as bad as William Hung but closing in FAST! Sorry to disappoint any Daniel fans but this is just my opinion. If this was a"Good Looks and Has Superstar Appeal" competition, I would definitely vote for him. Too bad it's not...


Here is another picture of Daniel for you Daniel fans out there... (My girl is hooked on him too) Luckily this picture doesn't emit any sound or voice =D So, let's just pretend he was singing like Mariah Carey in this picture.


Special Appearance! Paul Morse came in moments after Daniel, Nita, Dina and Vic sat down for the "Meet the fans" session. He sat down too, to autograph for his... err... "fans"?
