Why Jaclyn did not win Asian Idol title?

There are several reasons why Malaysian Idol Jaclyn Victor did not make it at the Asian Idol Contest.

The first of these is her habit, which is a common Malaysian habit, of dragging words rather than singing them out straight.

Her second setback was her over-glamorous outfits. It would have been better had she dressed in a sarong kebaya or baju kurung rather than colourful outfits, which could have turned many off. The third would be lack of home support, which means that the local media did not promote or support her prior to the show.

The fourth, Malaysians have the tendency to look at who the person is before getting hooked up.

Hopefully, in future, the media, notably local TV, will be more supportive.

It was this factor that made Singapore Idol Hardy Mirza a success.

He had his nation behind him, and when you add the second vote, he made it big.

Jaclyn could have made it with local support.
