If you ask me, I? say Dayang Nurfaizah? involvement in 8TV? reality talent
programme One In A Million (OIAM) is a testament to the fact that how we Malaysians love to see our fellow Malaysians fail.
Since news broke that she auditioned for the show last March, all sorts of things (mostly negative and demoralising) have been said about the 24-year-old lass ? and not only by bystanders in the Malaysian music industry, but also from people who were actually in it.
An act of self-degradation? An act of greed? A gimmick for the show? You name it, and you?l fi nd the accusations there. Yet even her elimination from the competition two weeks ago became an issue among the gossipmongers.
To be fair to the good souls out there: yes, there are a lot noble Malaysians who lauded her brave decision. But sadly, in the entertainment world, juice will always outshine substance.
Did all this bother her? Well, just in case you don? know, Dayang is a tough nut to crack ? if you try to crack her the wrong way that is. We caught up with the songstress post-OIAM, and this is what she had to say: To warm things up, why don? we start by you telling me about your journey in OIAM journey? How would summarise it? Up to the Friday when I was eliminated, OIAM was the best experience I?e ever had since I fi rst became a recording artiste seven years ago. All the challenges that I had to go through week in and week out made me realise what my real strengths were and brought me closer to my truest self. Before this, whenever I performed, everyone would say it was a good performance.
No matter how bad I sang, people would still say it? good. However, in OIAM, I had people criticise and point out things that should be improved upon. That? why I was always worried when Friday comes.
[laughs] I have been performing for seven years, and I cannot go out and deliver my ordinary best ? I have and want to outdo myself. That alone was a lot of pressure.
I really had to dig inside of me, and fi nd what else I could do. Seriously, the whole experience was not a loss for me at all.
Of course if I did win, it would have been a bonus. It was the best experience in my singing career. If I didn? participate, I would still be the old Dayang Nurfaizah.
You mentioned about learning more about yourself from the competition. Can you elaborate more on that? I have now identifi ed what type of music and styles suit me best. I also know now what type of songs that would bring out the best in me when I perform on stage. All this while, I have been doing a lot of ballads; but in the competition, I was challenged to do more. ?allads, that? too easy for you,? they said. Because of that, I had to fi nd something unique ? something that only I could do ? and I think I found that. Also, before this, the feelings that I put into songs was pretty much the same ? be it for ballads or danceable tunes. That has changed after OIAM. If the feel of the song is sexy, sexy it will be! [laughs] A lot have been said about your involvement with OIAM.
Yeah, it? unbelievable. [laughs] Where did it come from ? the fans or peers in the music industry? The fans only asked me why I decided to take part in OIAM. However, after explaining to them why, they stood behind me throughout the whole thing. It mainly came from people in the industry. Some of them felt that with fi ve albums under my belt, why should I lower my standards? The things I asked were: what standards do I have, and whose standards? I myself didn? know. [laughs] The way I see it, if there? any opportunity for me to push my career ahead and to improve myself, I would defi nitely give it a shot. And OIAM was one of the things that I came across in my journey. If I didn? take the opportunity, I knew I would regret it for the rest of my life. I? glad I did it. The whole experience was priceless ? even more than the RM1 million prize money.
