As for me, I first noticed Daniel when he sang "when will i see you again" in the idol diary. I was telling my husband that his guitar playing is sooo good!! he can really plays the guitar really well and it really caught our attention. i missed quite a lot of earlier episods of the spectaculars, due to meetings here and there. I only really started to follow back was during the classics night and he really sounded GOOD in Angin Malam and Heaven Knows. From that time onwards I knew that he have the potential to be MI2 and now... he is our MALAYSIAN IDOL 2. ;D

Flash back….
Our family didn't watch the MI2 from the beginning. Didn't watch MI1.
There was one day, I was doing some paper work…I heard a beautiful voice singing "Somewhere over the rainbow". I stopped my work & sat in front of the TV listened to him. That was the first time Daniel caught my attention. I was like…. "WOW" this little boy! The judges didn't like it except Paul. Since then, I began to log on to know more about him & I was very impressed by his talent…As time went by…I like his good showmanship, modesty & prudence ....My family began to vote for him…My kids admire his talent in music...
I always remember in the last spectacular, he had all the bad comments from the judges…I was feeling very bad & sad, I think he was hurt too…then I flashed back he cried in one of the diaries, he showed his true heart...I like it.
However, in the final, Daniel has showed us his best & I am glad he won the title…not only the title of 'Malaysian Idol'…but also 'The role model for the younger generation'.

It was definitely the auditions that laid the greatest impression. The sincerity in his speech while sharing his passion for music was deeply felt by all those watching him. Several people also admired his seriousness in a friendship with the constant usage of Jeslin's name while elaborating on what sparked and urged him to participate in this highly stressful event. Undoubtedly the main course was his brilliant singing of Heaven Knows that DEFINITELY gained him loads of support and was the gateway to winning MI2. Throughout the theatre eliminations workshops and spectaculars we've seen Daniel breaking down due to the immense pressure and we have also seen his crestfallen features while being criticised by the judges. And that was what developed him to what he is today. We've also seen him taking into account the constructive criticism given by the judges and hence displayed improved aspects during his following performances. Daniel never did lose his composure and he became a very much stronger person. The finals was a great eye-opener. Mimpi was irrefutably pitchy but was the singing actually that crucial? I personally felt Daniel's competitiveness for the very first time while singing Mimpi. He put his heart and soul into singing it conveying his dream to all of us..the fans watching his performance. He went to great lengths to produce a brilliant performance and that led him to taking the risk of doing the high registers. I felt it; the determination; the passion and love for music; and most importantly his ultimate dream. MI2 was a great experience and will never be forgotten.

I've been watching MI1 then MI2.. I've noticed Daniel since the audition in Penang, but was not interested in him. When he cried during the theatre elimination, I was thinking "Gosh, this is tough. I wonder whether you can make it!" When he sang *mumbling cos he forgot the lyrics*, I thought that was the end of his journey. I was shocked that he make it into Top24. How can *that was my thinking back then* I started to admire him in Spec 1, when he sang 'True'. I've heard the original version by Ryan Cabrera, but I love Daniel's version. That was the first time I felt connected to his singing. I can really feel his song. The rest were history. I've been supporting and voting for him since then. During the Local Composser week, I was worried, like the other of his fans, worried that he was unable to perform well in Malay. But he made it, I love his Kini Bebas. He's creative, making the song different from the original. His dance movements in Save The Last Dance For Me was awesome. It was so natural, as if he was really dancing on the dance floor. Really feel like dancing.. ;D In the last Spectecular, I was really sad and disappointed with all the negative comments. I started to get worried, afraid that he might not make it to the finals. But seeing his fans voting for him right after the show gave me hope. We voted and voted and he made it! His MIMPI was not perfect, pitching here and there, but we can really feel his strenght and passion to achieve his dream. Like what Kak Jee said, all out! I've learnt many things from him. Learn to take criticism, bad comments, learn to be strong and determine and never give up. Daniel, you are truly our Idol. Never give up. We'll always support you. Gambateh

Hmmm, well, i've always been chasing the episodes of MI1 last year... Erm, then this year i somehow just watched the JB audition only... And i missed the theatre elimination (always forgot to watch hehe!)... Until my friend told me there's a cute chinese guy in, then i started watching... Since the workshop, me and my friends are supporting Daniel... every Friday we will gather in my friends house to watch MI together... but, i'm not a crazy fanatic of his, when he did badly, i did not vote for him, and if other finalists are good, i'll vote for them... I was amazed by his voice range, his falsettos and his talent in playing the musical instruments... I fell in love with him when he played the guitar singing 'When will i see you again' and LAGI in love when he played the piano for Paul Moss's birthday.. I admire him as my idol, and he will always be my idol... My friends were also influenced by me to watch the diary and spectaculars and voted for him! To me, i really, really liked his performance singing Kini Bebas and Mungkin Nanti... I would like to thank my friends and you guys in DFC for the vivid support to Daniel, for making him the national idol, for making his dreams come true... I sincerely salute you all... United we stand!!!!!!

i started to realise that he's special when he cried and claimed that he forget his song's lyrics and still managed to sing it well..and it heated up after his duet song wif xerra...i knew,he and xerra will shine,and they'll manage to a very high position..i was kinda sad after xerra was eliminated and cried after she sang brown eyes..but glad that daniel was still in..then i started voting for him every single week..until the finale,and shed tears after he was announced as the malaysian idol season 2...i and my mum jumped up and we clap hands together till its red and we shouted..yeah~!!! i will remember that moment forever,somemore in my grandma's hse..that was great...we will support u forever..and go shine urself in Sony-BMG,i love u...

Throughout his journey in MI, I was never impressed with his English numbers for all those reasons the anti-Daniel bashers in BH hyped upon day after day thread after thread. And I, at one point in time, even boldly declared "Daniel our next idol .... no way!" To that remark, a fan retorted " ..... just you wait and see"! Then came KINI BEBAS and surprisingly, the diction and pronunciation thingy and mumbling disappeared. What I heard was a totally different performance than what I expected. And I was like "Hmmm ..... " when I compared his KINI BEBAS with the original. In BH, I suggested he sing Malay songs henceforth and to try KAU ILHAM KU for the unplug week to which a Daniel fan rebutted that it was a bad song choice. Next was ANGIN MALAM which I thought was marvellous. And after hearing the ori version, doubts about him as the next idol slowly dissipated. Those doubts crept back after his MIMPI during the finale. He was clearly gasping for oxygen in the later part of the song and having difficulty trying to, but not actually reaching the high notes. That's why I have always said that it was the fans (read - you guys) that made him the idol. I am not a fan but I believe, as Roslan mentioned, that he will be a superstar. His MIMPI single impressed me. Nice ........ ;D
