Even the tiny island of Singapore can’t escape the American Idol hype! Last night I watched singer and guitarist Sezairi Sezali win the grand finale of Singapore Idol‘s third season. Sezairi wins a highly-coveted contract with Universal Music.

Still, I have to say that I really wasn’t very impressed by the talent. His contender, the gorgeous Sylvia Ratonel, had the looks and the voice but was I the only one who noticed she was out of tune at times? I guess Sezairi ain’t bad… But is this dorky and slightly awkward guy really the best that Singapore really had to offer?
