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! Comedian actor Kumar and singer Kit Chan were also strongly favoured. This was Yahoo! Singapore's most popular poll to date with over 15,000 respondents in just seven days. Perhaps there is time to reconsider?

Jason Chow, AVP/music director of WKRZ, is also one-third of the commercial dance and techno wizards, The Usual Suspects. Apart from steering the creative direction of the band, the man has provided the vocals on tracks like "Come on over", 'Is it too late" and "Black Man Ray", all of which appear on their debut album. KS Lee, Creative Producer/Presenter at WKRZ has also recently teamed up The Usual Suspects to record a trance/dance update of "Pure" which was originally a hit for Lightning Seeds circa 1990.
