Could Idol have gotten it wrong?

According to the Yahoo! Singapore Poll, Singaporeans demonstrated a strong preference for Glenn Ong to join the judging panel in the upcoming Singapore Idol. Some 30% of respondents choose him as a good option for the talent programme. But the radio shock jock didn't make it to the roster!

PRESS RELEASE WKRZ DJs don't just play music, they make music as well. Getting out of their radio studios and into the recording studios, 3 WKRZ DJs have been producing songs with various local talents. Not straying too far from the music that the station already plays, the DJs themselves have been hard at work, dabbling in electronic music to further fulfil their core audience of techno and trance addicts. Jason Chow, AVP/music director of WKRZ, is also one-third of the commercial dance and techno wizards, The Usual Suspects.
