Atama - One In A Million Audition

May 3, 2007 Filed under Videos, Sabah 




This is what Atama got to say about the audition:

It was a Marketing & Promo Plan that turned out as part of the show.. Here’s what really happened..

3 days before KK auditions, Rydee calls me and tells me that 8tv Executive wants event support for the auditions. I was in KL then. 24hours before audition i fly back to KK and meet Ihzam Omar and Executives at their tour in KK PLaza. I was supporting this event and recommended our talents to take part.

The Executives asked then asked me if i could give a shoutout and interview with Marion & Awal tele-linked to quickie that night. Naturally i said OK. The cameraman wasn’t ready thou, so they asked me to come to the 2nd day audition to do the shoutout. SO, on the 2nd day, Papichulo, AmberRose & Terence B faced the panel.

While Chaque, Carrey and the others faced the jury on the 1st day. Upon arrival to Le Meridian, i was invited to give an 30 minits interview with Blue Hyppo. I then met people from the Hot FM and gave them a promo copy.. I then said thank yous to all of them and headed out of the booth area..

BUT THEN.. the 8tv Crews said “Atama, since you’re here,why don’t you give it a shot?” and said that it’ll only take a few minutes and will head straight to Paul & Shafz as recording artist gets this priviledge.

I thought for few seconds and decided that i’d give it a shot [for promo] even though i wasn’t mentally ready, so i filled out the form and handed it back to them. On the form i wrote “Record Label Owner” - this is how 8tv Homegrown crew got me an arranged the interview the next day at my crib. It was one solid hour. They aired a few seconds from this interview.

Few seconds later, i was called outside for an interview with Awal which lasted 10 minutes..

Anyway, there i was waiting in line.. i realized that i was the very last person on the 2nd day audition!! Then my turn to face them.. here’s what really happened..

Paul: So, who are you..
Me: I’m Andrew, stage name Atama
Paul: We’ve had a few Atama in here today
Me: Somehow i’ve inspired them to rap
Paul: I hope you’re better because they all sucked!
Me: They were my clones..
Paul: Yeah? Well thet were really bad! Well, lets see what you can do
Me: Acapella - THYITA
Both: Silent
Paul: I don’t think you could cut it as a rapper
Me: If i didn’t i wouldn’t have sold 12k units here
Shaf: Wow!!
Both: Silent & Look at each other..
Shaf: Can you try somethin else?
Me: Acapella - In the still of the night
Shaf: I think you shoud stick to rapping
Me: Ok, Thats cool. Just wait for my 2nd album
Paul: Send us a copy..
Me: YOu should buy one when its out..
Paul: Ok.. i buy a copy..
Me: Ok.. Thanks..

It didn’t matter much to me as i did it for the fun of it and was positive about it. After all, a bit of PrimeTime TV don’t hurt! Like Ihzam said to me earlier, its a bonus to be on TV! So, now that

Atama & 8tv are friends, i wonder whats next on my Marketing & Promo Plan!

p.s. If Shafinaz had listened to my music as how Paul Moss already heard it last year.. she would have given me an extra hard time; which i wouldn’t mind at all.. i think she’s georgeous and would “guangku mangkakada” with her sexyness anytime..

One In A Million is expected to turn out to be hard to swallow as the 31 Sabahans had a hard time.. just follow the program to see what happened to them in KL .. we should learn from it!

You know who thiz iz… The KK PLaya…

Kalau 8tv suruh atama makan Taik,si atama makan Taik-lah tuuu…A Professional singer/Rapper doesn’t show off his/her skills for promo…he/she must go according to proper channel in order to do that.If atama already sold 12k units,Why do he need promo???Last time that i heard he go to all d clubs here in kk mintak tu dj pasang lagu dia…kalo tu dj tak pasang lagu dia,muka dia tu kalah bos razmatazz(Si Sugumar…a.k.a. tukang kacau bini orang + tak bayar gaji staff)…So Basically…andrew ambrose mudi(Tamahak…opppss..lol)is a disgrace to the Sabah Entertainment Industry…if you want me to buy his album,i think bagus saya beli barang makan…if i buy his album,i will get 3 illness…
#1:Sakit Telinga
#2:Habis Duit
##:Perut Lapar

Dia tu syok2 kira duit,kita yang sengsara dengar lagu dia…mark 1 thing…his career will never last…
Saya nie bukan condemn tapi to what i’ve witness in the entertainment line here in sabah from 1979 until now,these kind of people(macam si tamahak tu…)will be eliminated(musically)…
