A singer I do NOT think highly of

I planned to buy a cassette. For my car. Err.. kereta punya radio not funtioning (wiring problem I presume), more than a couple of years dah pun hehehe... Never get around to fixing it. Hence, I turn to cassettes for source of "halwa telinga" inside the car.

The last cassette I bought (Oh yeah, I buy cassette because I don't have a CD player in the car. Thank goodness! Otherwise, my pocket koyakkk laa have to buy CDs!) was a compilation - err.. Indonesia's hit songs. The main reason I bought that cassette was because of the song Semusim (by Marcell). I fell in love with that song when I heard Zahid sang it in AF Konsert 7 (if I'm not mistaken). Hehehe.. itulah, Zahid punya pasal, terus gi cari kaset yg ada lagu Semusim..

Of course I was looking for a compilation, I'm expecting more than 1 or 2 nice songs to listen to.

So there I was browsing the cassettes section kat Alpha Angle. Picked up AIM 2004, tak jadi coz ada lagu duet Anuar Zain & Camelia. Picked up another, pun tak jadi coz ada Camelia again. Sheeshh. No way am I buying anything with her song included.

I'm sorry. I just don't think Camelia can sing. I think I read in one newspaper a long time ago, just after Camelia's album was launched. The article mentioned something about some singers wanting to collaborate with Camelia for a duet or something; the article went on to say that shows that Camelia is being demanded (probably for her voice or something, that's why other singers want to work with her).

Excuse me, but I think it's the other way around. She CAN'T sing, and that's why she needs to have collaboration with other singers. Otherwise who would buy her album. There would be TWO reasons why I might consider listening to the song "Bebas" (or is it "Kini Bebas"?):
1. It was written by Azlan Abu Hassan
2. I get to listen to Anuar Zain's beautiful voice.

Another thing, I love watching Casa Impian. Who knows what tips I can pick up from that show, eh? I just don't think Camelia serves any purpose being there. What does she do in that show again? Being decorative, is it?

Sorry lah if there's any Camelia fans out there. No offense. You have a right to like her, and I have a right not to.
