Hitz.sg is a three part television program, showcasing the finalist of anugeraHitz.sg. They are the creme of the crop in our local Malay music industry in Singapore, with the diversity in genres of music being shown this is not a program to be missed. Boasting a fresh concept of having a mosh pit with a good looking stage set as well as a marquee rolling out the performers name made it look like an MTV production but this is our own Eaglevision at work. Kudos to them for producing this program.

Staying true to the tradition of iZone.sg, it’s the all about the buzz meaning I’ll give you guys enough to let you feel you need to be home and catch Hitz.sg every episode on Suria *smiles*. The three episodes will be aired every Saturday staring from the 13th March till 27th March 2010, 8.30pm only on Mediacorp Suria channel.

Firstly, I’m sorry for this really short review on this week Anugerah. I was in JB when it was shown live on TV therefor I had to depend on my friend Illa, to let me know what’s going on.

The information that was provided were, the four Anugerettes that managed to go thru the semi-finals directly were Chirul, Wawan, Catty and Kunjung. Personally I don’t really fancy the result but as any reality show goes, the more votes you have it’s very likey you’ll win and move on in the competition so, congratulations to the four of them and all the best for the semi-finals and I’m pretty sure the semi-finals will be a different ball game altogether.

Firstly I would like to address this irritating problem that’s happening in Anugerah 2009 and please be reminded that I’m a TV viewer. A message to rude and inconsiderate fans who likes to shout when its time to listen. Yes I know you’re excited for your “idol” but please be quiet and listen when the judges are commenting because what they say could be an important advise for the Anugerettes. Please DO shout during your “idol” performance all you want to cover their off key singing and 50-50 performances but during the judges comment, do try to listen. Thank you.

Tonight are the female Anugerettes turn to perform and this week it’s the same theme as the last, Singapore Icons in the Malay music industry, they are Anita Sarawak and Rahimah Rahim.
