可怜金豹好像四围被骂的很惨！自己进不了决赛，新闻又报的不好，看来他应该快改行了。。。
Pitiful Golden Leopard seems to be attacked by all sides so badly! He did not make it to the final himself, and now is bad at reporting the news as well, seems like he should switch career soon….

好吧，第六位！这个不得了！当记者问她猜测谁会进总决赛时，她毫无迟疑的第一个说她自己，而且她说这不是猜测，她说她已知道！她知道！！！所以称她为女先知一点都不为过！
对了，她就是大家最熟悉和被亲切称为悯母的溪妖铁(CL Tay)！据说那晚她献唱时，哭的哭、喊的喊、晕的晕、吐的吐、发作的发作，整个场面失控！怪只怪大家没听金豹劝告要先洁净自己才能听悯母的歌。连当天另两位评审都充满惊恐和颤抖恳求说：一定要给她进决赛！一定要给她进决赛！。。。因为他们深怕受审判！

悯母果然是怜悯之母，她知道总决赛不能出事，她为了大家的安危着想，她决定决赛时找一个代唱歌手代唱，就照悯母亲口说的：“这样比赛才能顺利完成，不会有太多突然发作事件产生。”
但悯母还是劝我们不可以掉以轻心，她不能担保不会出事，因为能力也在她的歌里！“我只希望代唱歌手能把整首歌平安唱完。。。”她语重心长的说。

那代唱歌手将会是谁呢？据说主办单位还在迫切寻找这种勇气可嘉，勇于冒险的歌手；如果你自认能胜任，不妨联络金豹接洽一下。。。

Ok, the 6th finalist! This one is amazing! When the reporter asked her who she would guess to be in the final, without hesitation the first person she said was herself! And she said she was not GUESSING, she ALREADY KNEW! SHE KNEW!!! So it is not a bit over-stating when we call her prophetess!
Yes, she is the very popular and fondly called Mother Mercy CL Tay! Reports said on that night she sang, some cried, some screamed, some fainted, some vomitted, some manifested, it was a real chaos, totally lost control! We can only blame the audience for not listening to Leopard’s advice to cleanse yourselves first before listening to Mercy’s singing. Even the two judges that night was filled with fear and trembling and they kept begging: Let her enter the final! Let her enter the final!… because they did not want to bring judgement on themselves!

And Mother Mercy is indeed full of mercy, she knows we cannot allow unpleasant incidences during the Final, so for the sake of the safety of all, she has decided to find a representing singer to sing her song in the final, we quote Mercy’s own words: “Only then can the final be carried out smoothly, sudden manifestations will be kept to the minimal.”
However, Mother continued to advise us not to take it too lightly as she cannot guarantee anything. “I can only hope the representing singer can finish singing the whole song safely…”, she said with a heavy heart.

Then who will this representing singer be? The organizer is still desperately seeking this singer with such courage and bravery to take up the challenge, if you think you are up to it, do contact Leopard to discuss…

警告！在看以下几张悯母溪妖铁的照片之前，请先洁净自己！
Warning! Before you look at Mothers Mercy CL Tay’s photos below, please cleanse yourselves first!

接下来几位，金豹就不详细介绍了因时间有限，而且大家又急着想知道答案。。。
For the next few, Leopard will not introduce in details because of time and you all are also eager to know the answer…

第七位：真红（恨你脏妻，绿卡妈）
The 7th finalist: Jane Hong (Hen’s wife, Ricca’s mum)

第八位：杀了得 （代唱歌手：金）
但是在总决赛很可能是女歌手唱这首歌，是不是杀了得自己唱，还是另找一位代唱歌手呢。。。？
日后必揭晓～

The 8th finalist: Charlotte (Representing singer: Kim)
But it could well be a female singer singing this song in the final, whether it is going to be Charlotte herself, or another representing singer…?
The answer will be known~

第九位：恨你脏！
偷偷告诉你，我们的评审折腾组，给了恨你脏最高分！这跟他们师徒关系有关吗？还是恨你脏的歌真的那么好？身负这种负面传闻，恨你脏会不会一恨之下不出赛呢？会不会因此把位子让给原本没进决赛的选手呢。。。？

The 9th Finalist: Henry Chong!
Tell you secretly, our judge Jaydon Joo gave Henry the highest mark! Has this got to do with their sifu-student relationship, or is Henry’s song really good? Facing this kind of negative report, will Hen angrily abandon his right in the final and give his place to some other contestant not in the final…?

现在九位进入决赛的选手都知道了，下一次报导将报告最后剩下的六位的名单，但如恨你脏不能承受负面传闻的压力而真的突然宣布退赛，那将会报告七位选手的名字。。。所以，你们是希望六位还是七位呢。。。？
那最后几位将要报告的又是谁呢？”我们唱的很大声“的饥民会不会在决赛当中呢？他是不是真的传闻中的内定冠军呢？
请锁定金豹惊爆更多新闻。。。

Now you know the nine contestants who have entered the final, the next report will reveal the remaining six, but if Hen cannot withstand the pressure of negative report and decides to withdraw suddenly, then we will announce seven… so do you hope for six or seven…?
Then who are the remaining ones yet to be announced? Will Kee Meng of “We Sing Loud” be in the final? Or is he really the pre-decided champion as rumoured???
Do log into more shocking news from Leopard…

May 19, 2014

非常抱歉，让大家久等了，因最近金豹步步追踪最新消息，搞到金豹疲惫不堪，身体欠佳。。。
看金豹下面憔悴倦容，你就明白了。。。
Thousand apologies for keeping all of you to wait so long, but it is due to Golden Leopard unceasing pursuit to get you the latest news till Leopard became physically exhausted and unwell…
You would understand when you see Leopard’s weary and haggard look below…

但无论如何，很专业的金豹再病再累也要把最新的消息报告给忠心鸡婆的你们，所以哒啦！总决赛名单公布啦！第一位进入总决赛者当然是众望所归，妈妈听了代唱歌手所唱版本，大赞不已，但听了原著自己唱却默默无语的：

张秀月的“仰望祢”。。。但金豹应该会逼她改歌名，please啦！这种歌名随便拿石头就丢到一个，就好像名字叫John或Mary一样。。。单单我们这几个人的比赛都出现两首歌名叫“仰望祢”！所以基本上她歌名创意分数拿零分。。。

But no matter what, being very professional, even if he is sick or tired, Golden Leopard insists on reporting the latest news to all the faithful kepoes (busy-bodies), so tada! Here is the list of the finalists!
The first to enter the Grand Final is of course the all-time favourite, the one whose mother praised to the heavens the version the representing singer was singing but refused to comment when the original writer sang her own version:

Dorcas SG’s “I Look Unto You”… but most likely Leopard would force her to change the title of her song, please ok! Pick a stone to simply throw and you can hit this kind of title anytime, just like the name John and Mary… just within our own competition entries, there are already two songs called “I Look Unto You”! So she scored basically zero for creativity for song title…

上图：原著：张秀月（妈妈不要听她的版本），下图：代唱歌手：玉环
Top: Song-writer, Dorcas SG (mother didn’t want to listen to her version); bottom: Christine, representing singer.

第二位：李玮妮（代唱：尸体飞恐）
两人的对唱造成轰动，也惹出暧昧绯闻的“祢在哪里。我在这里”，仿佛抄袭罗密欧和朱丽叶的对白。。。而且代唱歌手尸体飞恐Steve一鸣惊人，让大家认为原本demo版代唱的大泥鳅DannyQ可以留在中东无名沙漠晒到变咸鱼了，如风砂被吹，歌声被人遗忘。。。

2nd finalist: WeiNi (Representing singer: Steve Kong)
Their duet of “Where Art Thou. Here Am I”, likely to have copied Romeo and Juliet’s line, caused much stir and created some romantic rumour between them… and the representing singer Steve Kong is really “a rooster that frightens everyone with its first crow” (meaning very impressive), and everyone feels the original representing singer who sang in the demo version, Danny Q can just stay on in some obscure desert in the Middle East, like sand blown by the wind, his voice forgotten by people…

图示：为你和史提非，新版朱丽叶和罗密欧
Picture shows: WeiNi and Steve, new version Juliet and Romeo

第三位：大家已经知道的甜丝丝姐（代唱：忠卫）
原著田丝姐有翻版S.H.E Selina 和翻版蔡依林之称。虽然代唱忠卫也如同尸体飞给人一种一鸣惊人的感觉，但遗憾的是在总决赛，不会再看到他唱这首歌，因为甜丝姐坚持要自己唱，她认为没有人能比她唱得更好。当初没自己唱是刚好出门，逼不得已，本来还要用录影片段比赛！自信心惊人！

The 3rd: This you all knew already, Stephanie Thian (Representing singer: Zhong Wei)
The writer Stephanie has such nicknames like the copy of S.H.E Selina and Jolene Tsai Yi Lin. Though the representing singer Zhong Wei gave people the same feeling as Steve like the frightening first crow of the rooster, regrettably we will not be hearing him sing this song again in the Final because Stephanie insists on singing this song herself, she thinks no one can sing it better than herself. She did not sing in the preliminary round because she had no choice as she was travelling then, in fact she wanted to submit her singing in video to compete then, you can see how threatening her confidence is!

第四位：王保安。
这个啊。。。也有点争论性啰，他认为他是属于红哥和蓝包那一类，因为太强而被威胁退赛的。。。你们说呢。。。？
The 4th: OPA.
Well, this one… kind of controversial too as he thinks he should be in the category as David Koh and Rambo to be threatened to withdraw from the competition for being too strong a contestant…what do you say…?

第五位：也是你们知道的，边缘者最后挤进来的大屁虾。这个就似模似样，很会装艺人形象，事实上跳舞更厉害。你看他那么有型的头发，怎样动都不会乱，但他坚称那晚他的头发根本没吹，也没做造型过！一切都是自然的他说，我相信啰。。。

The 5th: This one you all know too as he was one of the borderline contestants to finally squeeze into the final, David Sia.
As for him, well, he has the style, very good at makinghimself look like a celebrity. In actual fact, he can dance much better. Look at how nicely styled his hair was and it did not get out of place no matter how he moved, but he insisted he did not style his hair at all that night! It was all natural he said… Well, I believe him….

报告了五位，大概都是大家知道一定在决赛里的，接下来的就比较是按你们的猜测和认为，是否会出现在总决赛的参赛者了。。。金豹现在也累了，待会再继续报导吧。。。。

After announcing the five whom most of you would somehow know are surely in the final, now the remaining ones will be those whom you yourselves think or guess should be i the final…
But Leopard is kind of tired now, we shall continue later…

May 17, 2014

经过记者这几天努力奔波调查。。。整件事终于水落石出，真相大白！
高伟宏原来真的没有进入决赛，但不是因为表现不好，而是太好！结果主办单位要求他让位给后辈，找他洽谈，他最终谦卑让贤，只是最后谈妥的数目不便透露。。。
但所属消息完全正确，记者也取得以下重要证据，红哥的简讯回复！

After our hard work and hectic pursuit these few days… the water has finally recede and the rock appeared (Chinese idiom), we now know the real truth behind the whole incident!
It is indeed true David Koh is not in the Grand Final, but not because he did badly, rather too well! Consequently the organizers had to approach him to negotiate and ask him to give the juniors a chance. He finally humbly agreed to be gracious, only we cannot reveal the actual amount agreed upon in the end…
But all this information is genuine and true, our reporter has also obtained the following solid evidence, Koh’s whatsapp reply!

但现在有另一谜底需要揭开，因为另一位退出决赛选手并非之前谣传的恨你脏志恒！恨你脏被联络时还抛下狠话说“决赛见！谁怕谁？”
那另外一位退赛的到底是谁？正在猜测怀疑当儿，记者又收到这封神秘简讯。。。这个人和红哥收到一模一样的被要求退赛简讯！这又到底是谁呢？

But now we need to unveil yet another mystery as the other finalist who withdrew has been found to be not Henry Chong at all! In fact Hen even threw strong words at us and said,”See you in the final! You think I’m scared meh?”
Then who is the other one who withdrew? Just when we were guessing and wondering, we received this yet another mysterious text message… this person received exactly the same request-to-withdraw message as David Koh! And who is this again?

经过一番追踪和调查，我们也终于证实另一位被要求退赛者原来是。。。。
蓝包！！！

After some pursuit and investigation, we have finally confirmed the other finalist being requested to withdraw is…
Rambo!!!

现在答案都有了，大决赛只有15位参赛者，那这15位蒙福儿又是谁呢？
金豹稍后自会有报导。。。

And now we have all the answers, there will only be 15 contestants in the Grand Final, but who are these Blessed 15?
The Golden Leopard shall report on this next…
