Excerpts: Anugerah Skrin & Bintang Popular ‘96

Below are some excerpts taken from articles published in a local daily.

Beginning with Juara Lagu '96, then the AIM '96 Awards and now this, young talent Siti Nurhaliza has been winning heaps of trophies and awards.

Voted most popular teenage artiste, most popular TV entertainer, most popular singer (female) and most popular artiste, Siti managed to beat mega star competitions such as Ziana Zain, Awie, KRU, Nora, Erra Fazira and many others.

Winning a grand sum of RM 22 000 and trophies, Siti confessed that being popular puts a lot of pressure on a person. However, by winning all four categories that she was nominated in, Siti said that she is thankful to her fans for recognising her work and supporting her.

Right. Then The Star (yup, that same daily) came up with an article… focusing on who-wear-what at the Anugerah Skrin & Bintang Popular ’96. They sort of handed out their "very own Special Fashion Awards, for the heck of it". Siti apparently won the err… most shocking (pink) attire award. And here’s what they wrote…

CINDERELLA CLONE…but has Siti Nurhaliza forgotten the pumpkin coach?

Most shocking (pink) attire: Siti Nurhaliza may be hotter-than-lava at the moment, sweeping awards effortlessly her way; but she needs to breathe some newness into her wholesome girl-next-door image. She is definitely cun (right on) as one fan described her, which is all the more reason to have her seen tastefully attired at all times.

For the awards show, her outfit was sponsored by TV3. She was packaged in an all-pink Cinderella gown with a big ribbon smack in the centre, complete with black frilly gloves and a tiara. Erm, wasn't she trying a little too hard to be the darling pop princess we already knew she is?
