Mediacorp DJ Joakim Gomez reflects on Singapore Idol past, is at peace with being known as ‘failed singer’ from the show

One of the investigators, Stephanie Fam, started off by apologising to Gomez– saying she had been asking a extremely delicate issue. She went on to say that she “used to hate the tv DJ” in the past.

” I didn’t think you deserve to be in Singapore Hero in the first place”, said Fam. ” At least I didn’t believe you deserved to advance as far as you did.”

Then, when she inquired about Gomez’s response to her,” I would include hated myself on Singapore Hero as well,” he bravely responded,” I would have hated myself there as well.”

How can this awful Joakim Gomez singer get replaced with a better singer, not this one? asked Gomez.

He continued, praising his close friends and family for cheering him up when he was “very unhappy” and “felt the entire world was against]him.”

Gomez, however, refused to “victimise himself” and in addition to his support system, added that” therapy]was ] always available”.

Gomez was forced to answer concerns about his Hero days at other times throughout the season.
