actually, it's not in the matter of indonesian language or anything. it's just they cannot reach mika's voice range. it is too high. i have to do a warm-up every time i want to sing it so i can hit the highest note.
at first, i thought they were really innocent. but after that, i found an article from the interview of one of the finalist.
the finalist said that she was ashamed because mika is jumping around and she stoned behind him.. so awkward. <-(so far, it is fine to me).
and then, she said that she knew they were gonna do a collaboration with mika on stage. and she stated that she didnt do anything special (preparation). she said she only know the title of the song (maybe she meant, familiar). then, she stated that she was gonna do the chorus part 'Relax, take it easy'.
CLEARLY the finalists underestimate the big star. you know it is a very important thing when you sing with a big star. so you have to practice. at least, know the lyrics, listen to the music, or anything.
by saying that she didnt do anything special on the preparation, really insulted me as mika's fan. what was she thinking? 'oh, i only sing the chorus, i shouldnt worry about that'. while, in fact, she only know the title, not the song.
if she was afraid to mess up, then she should probably do a special preparation.
and yes, not all of the finalists hit the wrong note. it was actually the boys. they're some kind of boy band or vocal group or something. and i think, they're trying to improvise but couldnt hit the note right.
okay, i understand that they miss the note so badly. but, mistaken the lyrics? it was an ultimate insult. and for the boys, please, dont improvise if you dont know how the song goes. your improvise was bad..

oh, sorry if get furious.. i just hate the way they treat mika on stage.
