What about it??

Terukir Di Bintang: Lyrics and composed by Yunalis Zarai a.k.a Yuna tapi performed by Aizat sebab Yuna kini berada di Los Angeles, Amerika sedang sibuk merakamkan album dengan seorang well known composer David Foster. Well, talking about Aizat's performance biarpun bukan penyanyi asal untuk Terukir Di Bintang memang superb and brilliant. Tidak seperti finalis lain yang kelihatan bersungguh-sungguh menumpukan kepada corak persembahan pentas, tapi Aizat just bersahaja and he just deliver the song dengan relax saja. Sampai ada yang cakap, Aizat much better sing that song compare dengan Yuna. Tapi apa pun, Yuna seorang composer and young talented singer which now try her luck abroad. Congrats and all the best Yuna.

Idola: Konsep persembahan Azlan and the gang kalau buat betul-betul memang menjadi. Tapi tak tau apa yang kurenggs, their whole performance serba tak kena. Tapi lagu Idola ni memang best especially si Azlan punya vocal yang mantap. Tema AJL 27 "Ekspresi Seni" tahun ni memang kena dengan Azlan and The Typewriter sebab kalau tengok solekan dan baju dorang memang superb. Kalau aku artis pun (amboii...berangan jap) nak konsep yang macam ni juga.

Ku Akui: Ini tahun yang ketiga si Hafiz yang dicungkil bangkatnya dari program realiti TV (AF7) layak ke peringkat akhir AJL dan selepas Dato' Siti Nurhaliza melepaskan penyertaan dalam pertandingan ini, si Hafiz yang bolot. Tapi memang terakui dengan kemantapan vocal Hafiz and if kita tengok in period 3 years, vocal Hafiz semakin matang. Ramai juga dalam laman sosial FB predict yang si Hafiz this year will wear....maybe just a boxer!! Hahaaa....takkan laa kan? Ye la because last year untuk lagu Awan Nano he just appear with a simple t-shirt and a tracksuit je. Tapi menang juga. But overall, well done to Hafiz and Ajai (composer for this hits song).

Teman Pengganti: As a viewer, I have no problem with Black & RJ the rapper (penyanyi asal Malique cum the composer for this song). Both of them nyanyi podium bulat dengan dinding pemisah di tengah-tengah tu. Yang ni pun I think no problem. Cuma yang cacat nyer 4 orang yang tercegat kat tepi tangga pentas tu. Nak kata backup singer tak juga. But hey...apa lagi nak complaint some more kan. Dah lagu ni have been voted as Persembahan Terbaik AJL 27. Tapi lagu ni memang deep laa its meaning. It's a very sad song. Congrats!!

Pelangi Senja: Maybe tak keterlaluan kot if I'm saying this song is a hits from our own Princes of Pop Malaysia, Stacy. Selepas menang dari AF6, Stacy memang meletup-letup dengan her dance move, her hits single, and bergabung meletups (featured with a few artists). Though she never won any since layak ke final AJL few years back, but she still came out strong with her vocal. This song is a slow track tapi best. Her only props in this performance is titi which from my point of view unnecessary laa kot. Stacy, lagu ni dah cukup kuat. Why don't you just focus on deliver the song....your vocal pun mantap. Kat FB pun Stacy tak ketinggalan dikomen sebab she's gaining weight. Takpe laa...biasa laa tu.

Ombak Rindu: Ni lagu soundtrack dari filem Ombak Rindu starred by Aaron Aziz, Maya Karin and Lisa Surihani. Mantap gandingan Hafiz and Adira (AF8). Props....800 kuntum bunga planted kat atas stage tuu!! Lagu ni memang kegilaan ramai, apatah lagi laa filem Ombak Rindu. Tak payah lagi aku nak bagitau pasal apa. Cuma tak payah laa si Aaron tu nak muncul lagi tuk AJL 27 dan dukung si Adira. Sebab lepas filem dan lagu Ombak Rindu box office, banyak sangat dah special appearance si Aaron Aziz ni. Yang pompuan suka la. Tapi why don't just think of something different sebab kita nak tonjolkan si Hafiz and Adira. By the way, vocal Adira memang mantap macam ala-ala penyanyi Indonesia....sebutan jelas bila menyanyi tak mengada-ngada. Anyhow, job well done to both of you.

Anak Kampung: My Oh My....aku nak describe lagu ni just in 1 word - CATCHY!! Compose and sang by anak jati Sabah, Jimmy Palikat...lepas tu collaborate lagi with One Nations Emcee always makes me to step out from my car and dance (time aku driving la). Kalau tengok persembahan Jimmy dan One Nations terbahagi kepada 2. Jimmy's side Sabahan (of course laa kan) and the last part is Dikir Barat. 1Malaysia maa...baru laa best!! But looking at the dancers wearing embroidered costume of Sabah's native memang makes me even prouder as being among of the Sabahan.

Patah Seribu: Shila Hamza.....why laa....ni yang aku cakap dari awal lagi most of the finalists focus on persembahan je sampai vocal pun terjejas. Shila memang aku minat. Not just she's beautiful but her vocal is one of a kind. Dalam AJL 26 Shila layak ke final dengan Beribu Sesalan featuring herself, Jaclyn Victor and Ning Baizura. Kali ni, vocal Shila slipt because dah terlalu emotional time dialogue intro. Nak kata because of she's lack of experience tak juga. Jangan memain....she ranked 1st runner up in reality TV program "One In A Million" then represent Malaysia and won kat Shanghai (China). She's a sweetheart laa selepas pakai hijab, and my advise jangan salah percaturan lagi next time because your song is a killer song....silap-silap Shila Hamza boleh rangkul Vocal Terbaik dalam AJL akan datang.

Simetri: Pheewwiiitt!! Tapi aku memang serabut dan tak faham apa sebenarnya konsep persembahan Hazama dengan otai rockers kita, Amy Search. Sorang kat bongkah kiri, sorang lagi kat kanan. Api menyala-nyala, suasana haru biru bila tengah-tengah stage ada plak group yang fighting. 4 minit performance tuu, 4 minit juga laa group tuu fighting. Abstrak betul persembahan. Tapi lagu ni bukan calang-calang. Untung laa Hazama dapat duet dengan rock legend kita Amy Search.

Lagu: Simple je tajuk lagu ni - "Lagu" sang by Bedroom Sanctuary. Tengok, nama group pun memang unik. It is a sweet song and for me lagu ni sesuai kot time sunrise early morning....kan? (hahaa....berangan) Tapi konsep persembahan memang tak kena laa....sorry. Kat tengah lagu aderr plak macam breaker....selingan kononnya the music stop because it is stucked by the hair...aiyoo. Last minute kot dorang brain storm idea persembahan dorang. But it's a good try...lagi pun ni final AJL....anything can happen kan?!

Tanpa Mu: Aku tak tau macam mana nak describe persembahan artis ni. He's new and talented but....ishhk tak nak laa condemn. Macam laa aku pandai nyanyi kan hahaa...tapi untuk majukan diri sebagai penghibur I think kena terima kritikan dan pandangan laa k. Tapi Amir sings well and lagu ni pun memang best. Harap Amir jangan putus asa laa yer....keep up the good work!!

Andai Ku Bercinta Lagi: Baru pulak aku tau suara intro (ala-ala seram tuu) rupanya suara Marsha Milan Londoh pulak hehee...but hey Aweera's vocal pun memang mantap. Ada chance untuk rangkul best vocal. Composer untuk lagu ni pun Edry KRU perform sama main instrument. Caya laa bro. Persembahan Mojo actually takderr yang janggal....baju pun cantik cuma competition memang sengit laa kan...

Memang enjoy laa tengok AJL 27 live even just kat TV jerr....well malas nak gi tengok live kat Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil tuu....congrats and well done to all finalis. AJL 28 plak....what its gonna be and who will be the finalists....tak sabar nak tunggu....
