The event is opened with a. performance by Jamal Abdillah with his song Senandung Semalam. An evergreen voice by the legend of pop.

This is follow by Awie of Wings with his song Bujang Senang. As usual, the rock legend gave his full rock performance.

Then, queen of jazz ,Sheila Majid made her performance, with her song Warna. It has been quite sometime MAK heard Sheila giving her nice voice. Still steadylah Sheila.

The host for the final AJL 26 is Cheryl Samad and Faizal Ismail

AJL26 contest started with Project Pistol making the performance. With the song Wanita Seluruh Dunia, the group made an interesting show with additional sound of trumpets. Boy Clifford’s voice is great! MAK love u Boy.

2nd to make the performance was Jacklyn Victor with her song Sedetik Lebih. Jac’s voice does not disappointed MAK, so powerful!

3rd to perform was Kekanda Adinda Song by Monoloque and Atilia. With a stunning additional sounds, the song was nice to hear. Not forgetting the costume, unique!

7th to perform was Faizal Tahir with his song, Karma. Faizal never come short is his performance. Although this time it is a simple performance with small gimmick of fire over piano, go against the AJL26 concept of water, Faizal still MAK see has that aura!

8th performance was from Alyah, with the song Kisah Hati. A good performance, with a concept of musical doll turns into life and couple with Remy Ishak.

MAK would like to congrate both ‘new artist’ for their good performance in the final & may their future in entertainment business continues.

The announcement was made on the 24th December, 11.30am at Marriot Putrajaya Resort & Spa.

MAK would like to take the opportunity to pray their happiness together and may everything run smooth with the ceremony.

Tonight, we will know who is the most ‘Lawak’ king in Malaysia. 4 partipants will performe their very best to win the Maharajalawak 2011, and they are Nabil (solo), Jozan (Group), Sepah (Group) and Jambu (Group). If MAK were to choose who is the winner, MAK will say Jozan. This is based on their consistency in performing comedy, especially these few last episods. At one time MAK thought Jambu could overtake them, but Jambu’s top form only last for few episods, especially the ‘Silent Comedy’. Sepah for MAK is very natural & spontaneous in giving their comedy & for Nabil, MAK salute him as he is the only solo participant to reach the final.

Below is MAK’s personal ranking on the Maharajalawak Final 2011:

1. Jozan
2. Sepah
3. Jambu
4. Nabil

Al-Fatihah to the late Pak Uda.

Pak Uda or his real name Zami Ismail died at IJN 10.30am. The cause was complication of heart. MAK feel so sad that Malaysia has lose an excellent comedian and let us pray may he find peace and bless by god.
