I saw this posting by Idolhunter in another thread and I thought that we should make this as a disicussion on its own :
"kwfong...I am still cracking my head too...
why are the older generations falling into this craze too.
For me personally, I have a few analysis but it may not represent every uncles & aunties
1. Humble looking boy -
U know when we vist our relatives, the first thing we ask our kids to do is to greet the elders...and the way our kids greet will somehow reflect their personality. some maybe funny, shy, loud,playful...and some very humble and polite.. and this is what folks see in daniel when he speaks and greet the judges...humble
2. All smiles no materwhat..
Everybody likes a smilling face and it is contagious..
Daniel.. no matter how the judges criticise...he is all smiles. and we like that...it shows us a way how one can take criticism smillingly and that inspires us..
3. Fight the challenge and improve
Week afte week, you see and feel his improvements..
and it inspires all that this is what we want our kids to be like how daniel did, take the criticism and go forward and improves...the path of a successful person..
4. Musical talents n unique voice
He stands out from the crowd of contestants with his musical talents and his unique soft tone that soothes..
Well, I guess this are the major things I could see clearly why people are supporting him... "
Well, uncles and aunties, what really attracts you to support this young man?
For me, an idol should have a great personality. There is no sense of having good voice when you do not reflect positive attitude and charisma to the public. And i believe daniel can set good examples to the younger generation, his humbleness and respectful to the elders are some of the good asian values that one should follow.
He has the musical talent that will help him to become an artiste "yang berkualiti". Our local music industry needs such artiste who can make a difference and be competitive with other international stars.
That are some reasons why i'm attracted to support him. I know he is carrying satu tanggung jawab yang berat, but with proper guidance and full support from the fans i'm sure he will make it to the top.

I shall put in my 2 sen....
The 1st thing that attracts me is his smile... Very genuine... His smiles always touch my heart, I dont know why. I just feel so happy seeing him smile. Somehow I see a lot of goodness behind that smile.
I also admire his inner strength - I only watched him on the finale night, and on that day, the judges' comments though were not really negative, they were a few shades less complimentary compared to those given to his opponent. Yet, he did not show any sign of distress or discouragement, he was very cheerful, very courageous...
I love the way he relates to his fans - I saw tht during the finale. He is always appreciative of them. At every interview, he always expressed his gratitude to his fans... I find him very sincere.
He is teachable. I love ppl who are teachable. I saw that on the Grand finale. At the time, I couldnt understand why PM went to town about the camera pulling into a long shot just as Daniel turned his head to look into the camera, But after watching the clips several times, I think I know why. In the earlier song, PM commented that Daniel should look into the camera to bring the intimacy of song across to his audience. And, the very next song, he did just that. But Daniel's efforts were 'sabotaged' by the poor camera handling!! Under very tense atmosphere, he still managed to respond precisely to the advice given him. That's outstanding, considering he had so few years of singing exposure.
Lastly, his talents. From wht I hear, he has made tremendous progress from audtion till now. Given time, he will more accomplished as a performer. I love his voice, and the songs he sings are nice to listen. I like his dance moves too. I always marvel at how he managed to multi-tasked his singing, dancing, making eyes at audience, and smiling all the same time. I love watching him perform, he's very pleasant on the eyes.... <nothing to do with leng-chai-ness, ok...>
Our Daniel is a real wonder......

smiles is what a person warmth up instantly.. no communications needed..hehe

His musical charisma, matured showmanship, humbleness and style of singing.  He is just being himself and constantly improving. His singing just soothe my soul and makes me feel young again. Although he looked small on a big stage, he was a giant killer!!!. Remember the story of David and Goliath. |

First attracted by his unique voice (started by the song Somewhere over the rainbow) & talent in music. He always maintain a pleasant and charming personality, he often carry this impact wherever he goes. He has the communication skill. A person’s true personality is revealed when he begins to speak. He is good at communicating….good showmanship to the public. …and charming smile  , of course. |

I just came back from Ipoh and I realised that most of my uncles and aunties were all amazed by Daniel. I was in my grandma's house on Deepavali night and suddenly my handphone rang with Daniel's Jika Kau Bercinta Lagi as the ringtone. She asked me, "That voice is so familiar... is it Daniel?" Straight away I was at stunt and asked her, " How did you know?" She said that she follows 988 everyday and she loves Daniel's Mimpi & FEI. She even heard his interview in 988. On the Grand Finale night, she was in front of the TV, she just loved Daniel's voice so much and she voted for him via sms.
My auntie is already 49 years old, and she is just simply attracted by Daniel's songs.... and my mum calls Daniel " SI LAI SAT SAO" (in cantonese, it means AUNTIES KILLER).....

I didn't really notice about Daniel during the MI2 shows. I saw him as just another Chinese boy. Then he reached some higher stage where the judges commented he would survive the cut coz. cute. Ah Ha...!! Then I really looked hard and c if cute or not. Still don't find him cute but the mulut shape very appealing, sort of like smiling with positiveness all the time. (I pun go 2 mirror n try 2 make mulut like him; very very suffering and not natural). Conclude it simply came from within himself and I really like this young chap. Then so proud when Jien announced he's going into final. It wasn't until I watched the final and saw his sincerity at things, determination & positiveness despite a nervous performance that I was convinced 2 vote 4 him. Guess by then, sudah jatuh hati with this chap...there seems to be some wisdom beyond his age which can teach an aunt like me a few things (although it should b the other round) !!!  As 4 his voice, I'm overdosed with powerful voice from American Idol. It's another reason why I like Daniel, his voice is distinctive, young and fresh! |

hahaha... Puppies.. u are so cute, go to the mirror and imitate the smile shape ? ;D Trying VERY VERY HARD, but still not HAPPENING...think my mouth not wide enough, you know something like Julia Robert ( but don't want 2 wide) Daniel has just the right length. I'm trying 2 learn a few tricks from our favourite boy, like the gun-shoot hand gesture, also look kind "limp", like no life ;D ;D ;D. will keep trying  |

lol!
actually his persistence to upgrade himself from the audition days until the final, and heard about how the dream started when he became jay chou's guest singer ...
all these actually inspired me a bit, in trying to make my own dream comes true...
that is, i should put more effort in what i am doing to achieve my own ambition too.
