THE FIRST MALAYSIAN IDOL
..JACLYN VICTOR..
Early life
Victor was born in Kepong, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on December 4, 1978. She is the first and only daughter of Maggie Victor, a single mother of Malaysian Indian descent. Her siblings includes three younger brothers. When Victor was nine years old, her father died prompting her mother to take on three jobs simultaneously to support her four children. At the age of eighteen, Victor started singing in clubs and hotel lounges to help overcome the financial burdens of her family.

With the support of friends and family, Victor and her friend Ravi the Rat (who incidentally wrote all the songs) recorded an album, titled Dream. This self-produced album features songs co-written by Victor as well. Attempts to promote this album includes an appearance on TV show "Latte @ 8".

In 2004, her mother encouraged her to audition for Malaysian Idol after hearing 8TV Chief Executive Officer Ahmad Izham Omar a.k.a Zakiah Omar saying, "Who knows, somebody in Bukit Kepong could be the first Malaysian Idol." Along with ten thousand others, Victor auditioned for Malaysian Idol. Impressed by her strong voice and personality, the judges Roslan Aziz, Fauziah Latiff and Paul Moss put her through to the next round. Upon landing a final thirty-third spot, Jac performed live, earning praise from the judges for her performance of Superwoman, which was also received very well by Malaysians as she accumulated the most votes that evening, becoming the seventh person to reach the top twelve.

In the first spectacular, the theme for the week was "Song from your Pop Idol". Victor chose a song in Malay, Keliru (Confused). Her performance took her through to the next round. The second theme was "Song from your Classic Idol". Victor's choice was When I Fall in Love.After another double elimination sending off Fahmy and Rydee, Victor was back next week performing a "Song from the 80s", Chaka Khans
