Shout! for an Exciting New Award in Town

Hey guys,

I was in Penang over the weekend, and was catching up with friends and well, my girl. *Which by the way, i discovered a food treasure trove over my short weekend up north and am SO EXCITED to share it with you guys* I was telling them about this new Shout Award and how FLY FM's shows-- The Pagi Show, Night Flight, and Must Have Music-- are nominated for numerous categories. They told me that they read about it in my blog but felt as though they were left hanging because i didn't elaborate about the award.

About Shout! Awards
In a nutshell, the Shout! Awards is created to celebrate the journey of young Malaysian talents with the support of Malaysia’s voice. It is a 2.5 hour TV special dedicated to give recognition to those who have made great impact and creative breakthroughs in Malaysian music, film, TV, and radio. A first-of-its-kind awards show for these four industries, it aims to reward the most-deserving artists, actors, radio and TV faces, giving voice to all Malaysians to define the new cool.

Spanning 16 categories altogether with a total of 5 nominations in each, all nominations submitted will be determined by a panel of judges consisting of tastemakers and veterans representing the broadcast, music and film industry. Following which, the rest will go into the public’s hands, where they will be called to vote for their favorite personalities online on our website.

I think the Shout! Awards is very long overdue. We have awards honoring actresses, actors, TV, Film, Music, and artists, but it never crossed my mind that there were not any awards honoring the best of radio station and program.

Kudos to the creative team behind Shout! Awards :)

I have to say this season for 8TV's One In A Million, the line up of contestants are a lot more awe-inspiring and electrifying and any other words that could describe just totally awesome. For Example we have Tomok ( on the left of picture) who was once a popular pop star with an extremely nasal singing style which i honeslty hated and now he is all grown up with a new fashion sense and when he sings properly he actually has a powerful grungy-edged voice!

Then we have Esther the only chick left who has a voice that is worthy of super stardom and we have my favorite Aweera. I mean this dude blew me away with his rendition of Enter Sandman by Metallica, a total rocker in and out, pure with no hint of wanting to mesh any other genre, rock in it's truest form. That and all the girls love him cause he got a nice body (yes, i see how you girls look at him).

Oh well they visited Fly Fm for an interview and of course i got a chance to meet them in person and there all actually very down to earth. If they didn't have there faces posted all over Malaysia I'd say they be just your average dudes and gal... but with ass whooping voices

So who will take home the RM1 Million prize? Take Moe Nasrul's poll here:

The Day The Pagi Show Turned Off The Lights!!!!

In Practice for Earth Hour 2009 which was on the 28th of March, on the 27th FLy Fm's Pagi Show with Jules and Prem had turned off all the lights in the studio. That is right they did the whole show in the dark.

Check out the video and you'll see what i mean!
