MJ Boleh!


That is Malaysian Jordan (MJ) Boleh! I was recently at Genting Highlands and I witness a talented man by the name of Jordan Sam, an impersonator of Michael Jackson or better known as the MJ of Asia. Not only did he look the part but he really did dance, move and even tried to sing exactly like the real MJ. I felt really proud of him not because he was able to sound, look or even dance like MJ but the fact that he was a Malaysian that was able to do what he did on stage. We do have lots of talents in Malaysia and we need to find ways to keep them interested in Malaysia before we lose all out talents and make Singapore a much better place.

I should check this Jordan Sam out someday. Good point about finding ways for Malaysians to feel proud about Malaysia before they start leaving permanently.

It's high time for Malaysian to recognise and be proud of our own local talents. Otherwise, we will continue to loss more talented individuals such as Kamahl ( based in Australia ) and Datuk Shake ( based in LA & Paris ) whereby they have moved out of Malaysia permanently. What a shame !

Finding one is not easy....
Keeping one is even harder.....

Do we really value them....
How?

You make Malaysian proud.

No demand, no chance. If the stage of Malaysia is really ready for the talents to perform well, why not?

Jordan Sam is a great talent. Good that he is recognized for what he could do. There are many more unpolished gems walking around without realizing what he/she has in them. And those who knew what they could do but were not being offered a chance will move to a greener pasture. But there should be reasons why this would happen.

Do the best you can with the talents you have.......always give your best.
We need channels and avenues for the talents in Malaysia...or else they will run to Singapore whose goverment has already in place development programs for people like Jordan.

Nurul said...

lela said...

Hopefully Jordan Sam will be one of the international performer as Chenelle done and people out there will know Malaysia as well.

Malaysian always turn away their own talent. but hunger for the outside talent. they just do not know how to promote this good talents

Suhailla said...

Cool..I thought that was really MJ until i read the paragraph..BTW,,I think most of the people can't accept people who copycat..

Dessy B said...

impersonator get paid A LOT just by posing to look like the celebrity. This talent should get even more considering he did sing and dance like MJ.

NEIMA said...

it's quite sad that we don't even have any performing arts or music studies in secondary school. the government should consider bringing the learning to the teenagers, what a waste of talents...

bq said...

I'm sure he did not just grab his crotch throughout the show. By the looks of the photo, he really resembles MJ a lot.

MJ from Malaysia??
Malaysia Jaya.

daniel said...

Malaysia do have a lot of talented people but most of them fly off to other countries and develop over there...There is no right or wrong, people do have treasure opportunity. But will appreciate and respect more if someone asking: "Where are you come from?" And you answer is - "I'm Malaysian!"

cRAyONgAL said...

wow ... i thought this is MJ's photo... COOL! Keep it up man! Am looking for his clip over internet to check out how does he sound...

sandman said...

Yup, All Malaysia please use your talent wisely. and please evaluate talent wiselt too

Nieda said...

I dont like his attitude. Famous but never had a gratitude. Only agreed with his performance.

Sue said...

We do have lots of talents out there.. but are we looking at the right one??

Sya said...

Don't wait for people to see your talent, you need to figure out yourself & manage it well. A shining star will appear after that!

MS said...

If we don't appreciate the talents in our own country and in our own organization,our neighbour countries/ our business competitors will benefits from there...

Ms Yati said...

We must appreciate the talent that our people have, because we can work together to achieve great things and succeed in making things out of something. Learn to see what talent you have then you can see that you able to do more than what you're expected.

KeNg said...

Talented individual need more platform to perform and show the talent. Is the country provide enough opportunities?

NM said...

Don't underestimate Malaysia talent..they can also do what others can do if opportunity is given, we should do more talent search and groom them in the right way

eb said...

malaysian has many talents.. how to appreciate them is another thing.. way the go dude!

sam said...

everyone has talent somewhere in them... is the matter they want to show it...

Suzy Dennis said...

I believe Jordan Sam will encourage young talented people in Malaysia to show their talent.

I like MJ songs & his talent as a great performer, but I don't like those copycats of him...eventhough they r good, but still cannot replace him...just my opinion...(ada)

unwritten~ said...

Yes, I believe that Malaysia do have a lot of unrecognized talent. It's such a waste that most of them have probably left Malaysia to pursue their careers somewhere else..
For those still with us,they need our support!!support our local act!!(^,')v
