Written on January 20, 2007 – 5:50 pm | by avenue299

Anugerah Juara Lagu 21 will be shown on TV3 tonight and this year it is actually a different one because it is held in Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil and the song judgement is actually done prior to the show. The only category judged on the spot is actually "Persembahan Terbaik/ Best Performance".

As usual there are three categories; Balada (Ballad), Pop Rock, & Irama Malaysia & Etnik Kreatif (Modern Traditional). Below are the nominated songs and those in blue are actually my personal selection & prediction.

Balada/Ballad

1. Ku Seru - Misha Omar/Ajai/Suhaimi Baba & Habsah Hassan

2. Mungkir Bahagia - Hazami/Hazami/Ita

3. Secebis Harapan - Nora/Zulkifli Mahat/Noor

4. Terlalu Istimewa - Adibah Noor/Azlan Abu Hassan/Adibah Noor

Pop Rock

1. Diari Seorang Lelaki - Pretty Ugly/Neves/Neves

2. Juwita Citra Terindah - M.Nasir/M.Nasir/M.Nasir

3. Lagu Cinta Lagu Jiwa - M.Nasir & Mawi/M.Nasir/Loloq

4. Tak Tercapai Akalmu - Elyana/Aidit Alfian/Ad Ahmad

Irama Malaysia & Etnik Kreatif/Modern Traditional

1. Candak - Siti Nordiana/Pak Ngah/Lokman Ghani

2. Hantaran Hati - Bob & Aspalela Abdullah/Nik Nizam/Rosminah Tahir

3. Warkah Buat Laila - Zahid/Ayob Ibrahim/Habsah Hassan

4. Zapin Cinta SMS - Senario & Adibah Noor/Anuar Dahalan/Anuar Dahalan

My predicted Juara Lagu is Juwita Citra Terindah.

Frankly speaking, this year’s list of songs is not very competitive as the quality of each of the songs has dropped compared to the years when big names like Siti Nurhaliza, Ziana Zain, Noraniza Idris, Jamal Abdillah & Anuar Zain are competing. But I must admit that the most competitive category is the Pop Rock Category. All songs in this category are in good arrangement and catchy with great lyrics.

Let’s see who’s winning big tonight!

P/S: Without watching the show, I can know that Mawi & M.Nasir (Lagu Cinta Lagu Jiwa) will win the Best Performance category as this category takes in SMS votes from fans.

The results :

I’ve got all the winners for each categories correct but Juara Lagu was crowned to Terlalu Istimewa instead. But I do feel that it is a good composition. But to me, Juwita Citra Terindah is much towards the theme which is "Rentak Kita Rentak Dunia" (Our Rythm is the World’s Rythm).

Below are the winners for Juara Lagu 21 :

JUARA LAGU : Terlalu Istimewa - Adibah Noor/Azlan Abu Hassan/Adibah Noor

Juara Balada : Terlalu Istimewa - Adibah Noor/Azlan Abu Hassan/Adibah Noor

Juara Pop Rock : Juwita Citra Terindah - M.Nasir/M.Nasir/M.Nasir

Juara Irama Malaysia & Etnik Kreatif/Modern Traditional : Warkah Buat Laila - Zahid/Ayob Ibrahim/Habsah Hassan

Vokal Terbaik (Best Vocal) : Adibah Noor

Persembahan Terbaik (Best Performance) : Hazami
