CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWLY CROWNED INDONESIAN IDOL, IHSAN!!!!

he was e only one tat i rmbr wen Indonesian Idol(II) started broadcasting. didnt follow e competition thou but wen watch e audition episode, he was e only one tat & stil I remember. Wat he said touches me.

here's a lil scenerio. E host, who has a brilliant set of white teeth btw, was saying here is a snippets of this idol wanabe. N they show e tape. Ihsan dad was a rickshaw driver & e video show e state of e house tat he lives wif his families. Not a nice state. Show his siblings n where he sleeps. Not a pretty sight either. E dad ride e rickshaw wif him to e audition. E only family member who was able to be there. Ihsan sang & he was thru! He came out, holding e yellow paper & started crying. Genuine tears tat flows like river. E host ask, wat u gona do wen u gona be II?

His reply touch me. "Gwe pengen buat rumah buat bapa, ibu dan adik-adik. Gwe nggak mau lagi kita tinggal di rumah nenek"
I wana build a house for dad, mom, siblings. I dowan us to kip on staying at grandma's house."

Personally, i find II more meaningful to watch. It showcases naturally talented voices who want to enter dis competition so they can help support the family. e 1st ting they wana do wen they will be II is they wana support e family. To break e cycle of porverty. It makes dis competition more meaningful. I am more excited for dis idol den my own country's! e prize he gona bring home is a car & a scholarship so he can get a degree :) wah! all e best to him :)

i wana buy his cd already!
