How right I was... Talent VS popularity... and "bought" popularity at that... *shakes head*

Good morning!
Just had a meeting over at Mediacorp. We've all been re-paired up. I'm no more with YYY, my buddy for the previous quarter-finals. In the next round, I've been paired up with ZZZ, the tough competitor with good vocals.
My recording will be on the 4th July (this coming Monday; gosh! left only 3 days to practice!!) and it'll be televised on the 6th July, 8.30pm over Channel U. Same as the previous rounds, voting commences from 8.30pm to 11pm.
The results show today proved something: Power of the voting system. Anyone with the lowest judges' score, can still secure a place in the next round so long as he has a huge support base. The contestant with the highest score was still booted out from the competition. The lowest score stayed up.
Sir, would be gratified to you if you broadcast the message to everyone again to support me on the 6th July. I'm sorry to trouble you whenever it comes to this. I'd do my best, deliver my best.
Take care and best regards.
=)
XXX
