Singapore Idol Original: Paul Twohill
I don't know what to make of Paul Twohill making it to the final 12 (did I get that right?) of Singapore Idol this year. I mean he can sing but already it is way too easy to make new friends with Paul Twohill jokes:
Of course we are referring to his HAIR - there is so much it has to cover one whole eye.
My offerings so far:
1. After Tan Wei Lian's win of Project Superstar a Paul Twohill may have figured that lack of sight was actually a plus factor for Tan Wei Lian in the Channel U TV singing competition, so since he himself cannot claim to have any real disability, this may be the closest he gets to using a handicap.
(My eldest daughter says I am EVIL.)
2. You know how they say that behind every successful man, there is a woman? Mr Twohill presents very many possibilities, such as,
Behind every Idol lies a "ready to come out" hairdresser
Behind every Idol there is a very skill-challenged hair-stylist
Behind every Idol there is a really sick person masquerading as a hair-stylist.
3. Paul Twohill presents a very interesting proposition when it comes to celebrity endorsements. Previously it was always the slimming spas that had a field day wondering who they could conspire with to agree to slim and trim according to their regimes but NOW the hair salon maestros will have a field day. I bet star-maker and celebrity counsellor hair stylist David Gan of Passion is already preparing his famed bird's nest for the new singing sensation.
4. When Pirates of the Carribean 2: Dead Man's Chest comes round, he is the obvious choice to promote the movie. But eye-patch makers will have lost out on a great marketing opportunity.
But jokes aside, The Half-faced One-Eyed Twohill can sing. So he is really forcing the issue - is this a singing competition? For the purist he could be a flag-bearer. For an MP3-dependant teen crowd, what's the big deal if he can sing?
PS: I promise to talk about reading poetry the next time. Any more Singapore Idol (read "self-indulgent") ramblings and people will say all I do is watch TV.
