‘Even Mike Tyson fell!’ – Tokram admits GV9 is the heaviest, many say heavyweight
Gegar Vaganza season 9 (GV9) judge chief Datuk Ramli MS expressed his excitement with all 13 stars competing this year.
According to Ramli or more affectionately called Tokram, all 13 of these participants are fighters in the art of singing and do not play around in their work.
“I’m quite excited because everyone who comes in, they want to sing, create, they are fighters.
“That’s what I’m looking for, they work in singing. Gelanggang (GV9) is what they should enter.
“For me, GV9 is the heaviest because many people say heavyweight , even Mike Tyson fell.
“In the first week they will play, in the second and third weeks, they will sing people’s songs.
“When singing people’s songs, we judge intellectually. We want them to sing people’s songs, make their own version that we have never heard.
“Before singing, we give 100 marks. If you sing wrong, we will cut the marks.
“Due to this GV9 level, in my opinion all the technical aspects of their singing do not need to be disputed and do not need to be scored.
“Based on three minutes on stage, anything can happen,” he said .
Tokram was met at the press conference announcing the 13 GV9 participants held at Menara Kuala Lumpur, Tuesday night.
In addition to Tokram, the two judges who will hold positions as permanent judges are Datuk Syafinaz Selamat and mother Hetty Koes Endang.
As for Syafinaz himself, she wants to see more GV9 participants bring other singers’ songs into their own versions.
“Actually, for this year I want to see a rock singer, he takes a dangdut song and turns it into a rock version.
“Although I am open, but when a singer makes another singer’s song his own song, in his own way, it is more interesting to me.
“But if you want to experiment, don’t go too far until we can’t accept it,” she said again.
