Formula 1 - Gala Dinner, Entertainment Shows

I am not usually critic of the Governments or Corporation and the decisions they make that affect directly and indirectly in our lives. Something is out of whack when we are trying to be prudent, practical and all the corporate words to project they are doing a good thing for the image or the country and putting Malaysia on the international map.


Scenerio

Formula 1 Grand Prix, F1 Gala Dinner and the icon on the entertainment is Lionel Richie, almost all the events. Just some gibber on "Lionel Richie a superb American R&B singer, songwriter, composer, and occasional actor. A class act no doubt. One of the world's most recognized and rewarded performers. He's sold nearly 100 million albums and notched 22 Top 10 hits--13 of them during a jaw-dropping swing between 1981-87. Five Grammy Awards, an Oscar and a Golden Globe--not to mention piles of American Music Awards and People's Choice Awards--grace his shelves. Only Richie and Irving Berlin have scored No. 1 hits in nine consecutive years.”

What’s wrong with this pic? May be its just me, but I believe instead of calling foreign starts to come and perform, bring out our own stars from our backyards, the Sitis’ , the M.Nasirs’, the Ramli Sarips, the Too Phats’, the Resh Monu’s, or even Poetic Ammo you want blue bring Alleycats, tio, I mean we have countless number of talents, it we do not showcase them in an arena where is broadcast to the whole F1 world

All the hype bout singing English songs and language they can understand is garbage. I take a bet if you go to Sweden you get Swedish performers as acts, same as in Germany or in anywhere in Europe or any other continent

Come on, to me its out of whack, my gripe, we are the host, our F1, our platform, our performance and our $$$$$

Lionel Richie's daughter is not eating enuff. He needs to feed his daughter...

I think bread costs USD 1 mill per loaf of bread in Hollywood if I'm not mistaken. That's the cheapest they can find.
