Season 8

The seventh season of Akademi Fantasia premiered on 9 March 2009 and continued until 16 May 2009 on the Astro Ria television channel. AC Mizal continued to host the show, while Adlin Aman Ramlie, Edry Hashim and Khatijah Hashim joined the judging panel following the departures of Fauziah Ahmad Daud and Ning Baizura. The promotional catch phrase of this season is "Bring Out Your Self-Transformation".[1]

On 10 February 2009, Astro management released the list of professional trainers who would take charge of this season's contestants. Tiara Jacquelina was revealed to be the Principal for this season, marking the first time ever a woman to be given the role as the Principal.

On 16 May 2009, Mohd Hafiz Mohd Suip from Kuching, Sarawak became the winner of the seventh season of Akademi Fantasia, who defeated Khairil Azam Pilus. This season also featured Afiq Hakim Ahmad, who would subsequently become the overall winner of 2015 Anugerah Juara Lagu.

As much as 3.9 million votes were cast throughout this season.[2][3]

Changes from Season 6

[edit]

According to the manager of Astro Ria, Khairul Mizan, this season was opened to not only Malaysian citizen, but also to Singaporean citizen. The rationale behind the eligibility of Singaporean citizen to participate in this show was meant to broaden the influence of Astro in Singapore through the popularity of the show which is broadcast through mio TV.[4]

Apart from that, this season was also eligible to established performers who wished to participate in the show. However, the opportunity would only be given to those who are not embedded with any recording or management contracts.

There were also changes in the line-up of this season's professional trainers. Linda Jasmine, who has been the choreographer of Akademi Fantasia since the first season was being replaced by A. Aris Kadir. Ida Nerina served as the students' Acting & Drama coach, replacing Fauziah Nawi. Lastly, Hashridz Murshim was in charge of the music composition which was previously held by Ramli M.S.

Auditions

Auditions were held in the following cities:[5]

List of songs during auditions

[edit]

Contestants were required to be between the ages of 18 and 45, and are Malaysian and Singaporean citizens who are not embedded with recording or management contracts.

Semi-finalists

[edit]

The top 20 finalists were announced in a special press conference held at Park Royal Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, on 3 March 2009.[6] All of them participated the Orientation Week as well as the Musical Camp (MOKM) which involved guidance classes and qualification assessment such as vocal (technique), vocal (performance), dance, acting and et cetera for six consecutive days.

Those who displayed promising performances would be enlisted to Akademi Fantasia. The final selection was revealed in the second episode of Tirai Akademi Fantasia which commenced on 7 & 8 March 2009. Below is the list of semi-finalists who did not make it to Top 14.

Concert summaries

[edit]

Week 1 - Student's choice

[edit]

Original Airdate: 14 March 2009

The first concert of the season depicted several changes in the show to denote the idea of "transformation" which was related to the theme of this season. The students were introduced in a more charismatic way with the removal of self-tagline. They were also assigned with songs of their choices. Also, the students sang and performed "Menuju Puncak" at the beginning of the concert, unlike past seasons in which students usually performed the theme song at the end of the concert before the elimination process took place.

Despite a strong performance, Adila landed in the bottom two with Sidi when the voting line was closed at the end of the concert. However, it was announced that there would be no elimination in this concert.

Week 2 - Medleys

[edit]

Original Airdate: 21 March 2009

The second week began as the students were given the songs they were going to perform for the week. Unlike the previous week, they did not get the chance to sing the song of their own choices. Instead, they were assigned with not one but two songs and were required to perform it as a medley. This marks the first time ever in Akademi Fantasia history whereby the students were given two songs to sing as a medley individually.

[edit]

Original Airdate: 28 March 2009

Qhaud was chosen as the student with the best performance on last week's concert. The departure of Adila affected some of the students as they read the will that she had written for them. For this week's concert, the students were assigned with classic songs of the 70's and 80's. The theme song "Menuju Puncak" was also performed as an a capella to support the Earth Hour campaign.

However, both of them were eliminated at the end of the concert.

  • Special judge: Kharil Johari Johari

Week 4 - Tribute to Amy Search & Siti Nurhaliza

[edit]

Original Airdate: 4 April 2009

The fourth week kicked off with the announcement of Isma as the best performer in the previous concert. For this week's concert, the students were assigned to sing songs that are popularized by Amy Search and Siti Nurhaliza. The twist was that the song would be assigned in reverse gender, meaning that female students would have to sing songs by Amy Search while male students would have to sing songs by Siti Nurhaliza.

During concert, most students received universal praise, notably Claudia, Akim, Isma and Hafiz. Qhaud had to perform his song twice due to the technical problem and despite the chance, he forgot his lyrics. This concert also witnessed the first time ever in history of AF whereby two professional trainers, Fatimah Abu Bakar and Siti Hajar Ismail, stepped forward to rebut the comments made by the juries.

The bottom two was later revealed to be Zizi and Rubisa. However, they both were sent packing in this concert since it was another double-elimination concert. This also marks the history of Akademi Fantasia whereby double elimination took place consecutively.

  • Special judges: Amy Search & Siti Nurhaliza

Week 5 - Duet with past contestants of AF

[edit]

Original Airdate: 11 April 2009

The remaining students reviewed their previous concert with their trainers and Akim was revealed to be the best performer in last week's concert. Then, they were given their songs for this week which required them to sing duet songs. Surprisingly, the students were given the chance to perform the duet songs with past contestants of Akademi Fantasia.

Week 10 - Grand finale

[edit]

Original Airdate: 16 May 2009

Akim was noted for his brilliant performance in the previous week, winning him the title of best performer for the second time. Aril had the chance to share his feelings with Siti Hajar about his experience living outside the house since he was eliminated, as well as dealing with negative criticism about him in the internet. Also, the pressure of the competition began to take its toll on Isma, who broke down during the revision of the previous concert. Then, the final song assignment for the students was given, as follows;

Student Song
Akim "Bencinta" by Faizal Tahir
"Bengang" - Composed by Amir, Lyrics by SQ
Aril "Kasih Tak Sayang" by Padi
"Toksik" - Composed by Alim / Shazee Ishak, Lyrics by Nurfatima
Hafiz "Kau Bunga Cintaku" by Anuar Zain
"Masih Jelas" - Composed by Aidit Alfian, Lyrics by Ad Samad
Isma "Cinta Adam Dan Hawa" by Misha Omar
"Bisikan... Godaan" - Composed and lyrics by Zul
Yazid "Kasidah cinta" by Dewa 19
"Ya Papa" - Composed by Tun Taja, Lyrics by Hairul Anuar Harun

In their first performance, Hafiz was criticized as he was too distracted by his choreography. Akim's improvement was noted, although the judges felt that he was not giving his very best; Yazid was castigated for not taking charge of his own music style due to his disappointing performance which was deemed as too heavy and unsuitable for his vocal. While Isma's performance was chastised as being forgettable, Aril became the only one who impressed the judges with his stellar performance, earning him the best performer in the first round.

In their second performance, Hafiz redeemed himself with his brilliant performance, although it was noted as fairly predictable. The judges were amazed with Akim's powerful performance as he managed to command the stadium. On the other hand, both Yazid and Isma's performance was lambasted for being too average and mediocre, while Aril's consistent performance won the judges over as he received unanimous praise for his energetic performance.

The concert also featured performances from the semi-finalists as well as from the previously eliminated students throughout the season, and also from the winner of the sixth season, Stacy. At the end of the concert, the voting line was closed and Hafiz was crowned as the seventh winner of Akademi Fantasia
