“What you think about the winner of So You Think You Can Dance Malaysia, Alam and CC?”
As a dancer and also an audience for this competition, I’m quite impress with the choreography and as well as the showmanship from the contestants. I’ve been watching So You Think You Can Dance Malaysia for season 1 and 2 and by watching them fighting and compete each other from the audition, to the boot camp, go through the top 20 as well as to the final stage.
As one of the participant for the competition before, what i can say that the boot camp is the most challenging stage which you are require to learned few types of dances in a day and without any delay, you might need to have your lunch and dinner while you are learning the steps from the choreographer. There are no times for you to sit there and enjoy your meals, beside that, you need to squeeze everything in while you are learning because there are no extra times for you to mark even no space and place for you to practice. Once you had learned the steps, you will need to wait at the back stage for your turn to show what you had learned in front of the judges and also the media.
Let’s talk about Alam which is the winner for So You Think You Can Dance Malaysia Season 1 which is a break dancer, not a normal break dancer but a technical and skillful breaker. What i know and heard from others about his background that he is came from a poor family that staying at Muar and he learned break dancing mostly all by his own when he started to get interest in it. He fall, he hurt, he injure but still he won’t give up and keep on trying on the moves.
He is so lucky to have a good dance partner when he is on the Top 20 which he do learned lots of things about dance from her. Is a gift from the god for him to explore more from the inner of himself. Throughout the competition, he learned, he smile, he cried and even get lots of pressure from the choreographer when he learned on new dance style such as contemporary, latin dance and etc. But he make it on the stage and proud for himself. He passed one stage by one stage, learn and learn, finally he is on the top 4 which is the final stage for him.
However, what i want to say is he is really doing great in the competition and get himself the highest vote among the 4 finalist form Malaysia. Many people said that maybe he is the only malay in the top 4 and of cause all malay’s would probably voted for him. If this is the reason, then this competition is not a dance competition but just a voting dance competition. I believe lots of people out there would think this is unfair for those who had better skills, but bear that in mind, competition not only depends on your skills or techniques, luck and audience hence spontaneous reaction on stage is an aspect too.
But the way, I’m quite agree and support Alam to win this competition as he can use the price money which is RM50,000 to support and help his family. His parents surely proud of him for his result and success. Many people would said, breaker can’t really dance on other kind of dances, but Alam do it! So everyone surely can make it if you try and give pressure for yourself, you surely can do it!
Now we proceed to the winner for So You Think You Can Dance Malaysia Season 2, Cecilia (CC). From her appearance, we can obviously know that she is a ballroom / latin dancer and of cause, she is my friend which i know from a fitness center. We had dance together for more then a year and of cause we are not just doing latino dance but also hip hop, jazz, belly and etc.
What is my first impression on Cecilia (cc)? For the first time i saw her is from a hip hop dance class from the fitness center and she can really dance quite well with attitude. Well you know, as a latin dancer, attitude is really important to show how good you are on the dance floor. Besides that, she is really tall with 170cm height and perhaps the tallest in the class. The first time we dance together was the fitness center dance group practice and this girl really show her talent to us especially her latin dance movement.
We went for the audition of So You Think You Can Dance Malaysia Season 2 together and i’m still remember she said that:” Aiya, I join this competition just for fun, din think of win one.” So now, she’s the winner for the competition, really unbelievable isn’t it? But this winning isn’t a good started for her as in lot’s of bad comments from the crowd outside there especially from 8TV official website. I would like to talk and say something about this matter and i’m not offense with anyone out there.
Cecilia had been announce as Malaysian voted favorite dancer for So You Think You Can Dance Malaysia Season 2. Can you notice anything from the sentence above? Yes! “Malaysian voted favorite dancer”, the word voted had been spoken out and everyone should know that this competition is mostly about voted. Well, forget about the mostly, is fully about the vote on the final stage. I do understand and know the feeling of those who are not agree on the results which cecilia (cc) won the competition and lots of negative words i saw from forums, blogs and comments.
I know that Hong, Black and Sim also an outstanding dancer as well as CC. What i had mentioned that sometimes a competition really depends on luck but this competition involve another important aspect which is vote! From the very beginning, everyone knows that this is an voting competition, if you really want to win to competition, you should have bear that in mind.
So what I can say that Cecilia (CC) had won the competition and this is the fact! No one can change it and i believe no one can change the history as well! What i can say is she is so glad and happy on the wining and really feel sad on the negative comments from you all. With the supports of her family and friends, she stand up and ready to fight for the future in her dancing life and no matter how bad the comments and feedbacks out there, she ain’t going to bother and just do whatever she think is right!
So fellow friends, be sporting. This is an voting competition, and she won with her dance skill and also by voting. So please don’t complain no more with it, if there are any complain or suggestion on the competition, write an email or call up to 8TV which is the organizer for the competition to change the rules and bla bla bla. After 2 years which is the year 2010, we will see how’s the competition and i believe i had done enough preparation by that time to go for the audition again.
Anyway, only my friends know about the reason why i get disqualify from the competition, I’m so regret with it and I promise myself that i won’t be so stupid and repeat the same mistake again.
This is what i think of the 2 champions from So You Think You Can Dance Malaysia season 1 and 2. Anyway, keep the good work for both of you and good luck ya.
