I actually watched the President's Star Charity over the weekend. How could I miss it when they promised performances from many a good musical? Despite it still looking like a celebrity beg show ("Call now! Call now! 1900 112 8821!!!"), at least they had a fresh concept this year. Notice I said "fresh", not "good".
Like what was MediaCorp thinking putting Olinda and Taufik together for that High School Musical cover? Olinda, for god's sake! Singapore's most well-known lesbian with our hottest Idol winner?! What part of lesbian do you not understand? And don't tell me you didn't know about Olinda's crooked ways. That girl obviously doesn't look straight. I'm sure I was not the only audience grimacing at Olinda's awkward performance. Granted, she does have incredible vocals but you also need to find someone who's suitable right? If they can pair Jonathan Leong and Diya so impeccably, why can't they do the same for Olinda and Taufik? Sweet Lord.
Plus, it just isn't the same without a few displays of emotions from our female host. Glenda Chong did a good job but where was Sharon Au's tears when you need her? You want to beg, at least beg with feeling! How else are you going to get everyone calling in big money!? Well at least no stupid stunts from a certain religious person this time round. Phew. Till next year! :S
