I always look down on Indonesian Idol show (1-3). This attitude caused by my feeling that Indonesian audience seems to prefer good looking contestant and sympathy over singing quality . But after Indonesian Idol's 5 audition shown on Friday (11 April 2007) I started to think differently that maybe this time the sympathy and singing quality will go on rightly to someone, Mr. Januarisman.
This Mr. Januarisman is a singing beggar (pengamen in Indonesian) and a regular with his band in Jabotabek (Jakarta Bogor Tangerang Bekasi) railway trains. Watching in TV I have impression that he shows a good character, good singing quality and also have very high fluency in guitar playing that Mr. Indra in jury board give a comment that his guitar is actually his soul. And even one of the Jury, Mrs. Titi DJ becomes so emotional that she weeps because of the wonderful voice.
One of my admiration for this guy which I stated before is that this guy has a tough character. You know you don't have to cry or making a sad suffering expression to beg for a sympathy even he is actually poor. But hey, he has a wonderful wife and a very lovely and cute baby :)
So people, I think in the coming weeks of this reality show I will be one of Mr. Januarisman's loyalist voter to make him a winner.
Feeling curious for what I've claimed ? You also want to have an impression that I already have ?
Ok, let me share with you those things.
Take a look at this YouTube's video !

Thank you for telling his story in English. I think he is very talented.
Can you explain what he was saying to the camera at the end of the video? Also, is the song already famous in Indonesia?
Thank you!
The song is from ST12, is already quite famous. You can listen to it from this url http://www.aimini.net/view/?fid=ZRQdiSaR6LGr21aq7enf. But I personally think that Januarisman is the one to bring the song to more fame :)
Sure, I will try to translate it for you.
From returning back to the monologue start like these :
Januarisman to juries : Can I speak to camera for a moment please ?
Juries : Sure
Januarisman : For my family at home, Aris beg for support... Because only support from parents that can bring Aris to ... (silent and nodded)
(maybe he meant a success)
Januarisman continues : Ok, that's all...
Mom and Dad, you know what I mean by now...
Hopefully Mom... (whisper something and went out)
I understand now. Thanks!
Sure.. anytime :)
I personally never see him perform on the train, but my mom said that he DOES have a very good voice. She saw him perform on the train for several times and it came to her surprise when she saw him on TV...
And just like u...I'm now becoming one of his FANS...
Just found out abt him few hours ago in youtube and I have been watching all the videos abt him like more than 20 times without getting bored. It gives me chill everytime hearing his voice. We can feel his strong passion in music and he brings this passion to us with his wonderful voice.
