Sour Grapes...

Beware, long crazy entry!!!

Tis is an old news... I wanted to post it long long long long long long long long time ago... But didnt haf e time... Jus thot i need to conclude the show... Yes, im tokin about Superstar...

Kelly's fans mentioned in the press then, that they decided not to vote coz the runner up's contract music company, Universal Music, has more prospects... Coz its a international firm... So they PURPOSELY let Kelvin win... Resultings the vote results to be 30, 000+ compared to her miserable 10,000+ votes...

YEAH RIGHT! Seriously, it jus sounded like a pack of sour grapes and nothing else...

Come on lah, face e music... I do not even need to go into e details...

It is rather surprising however, the papers came up an article to comment about Kelly specifically... Ah hem... In a negative way...

Media has been extremely harsh on Kelvin, with all the negativity written about him, and making him break down during the rehearsal jus one day before e actual show... Im kind of surprised somebody actually realised wat ppl all along haf been saying, and finally giving justice...

But having said that... Though i do not like Kelly in particular... I dislike bad media even more...

I watched the finals... The results werent as exciting n nervous-breaking as compared to Singapore Idol... Maybe coz i was rooting for Taufik and my sis was rooting for Sly... And my sis voted 2 votes to mine... And Shuzhen refused to vote... Hahah...

For tis one, almost all ppl i knew (well, strange tt i didnt noe any Kelly-crazy fans), all wanted Kelvin to win, and knew Kelly will sure become e champ...

I was seriously comtemplating Kelly to win, though i hate it to e core... I even told my mum... LAO TIAN MEI YOU YAN if she wins... Though tt had nothing to do wif LAO TIAN... But i wanted to complain mah.. Haha...

Kelvin did very well for e 1st 2 songs... And the second one was exceptionally brilliant... Kelly's 1st song, Yan Se by Coco, was really screwed... SHe didnt haf breathe and her voice hadnt warm up at all... Even i can sing better, haha... No lah, kidding, i wouldnt haf e guts to sing at indoor stadium... I will freak out...

But obviously, the judges gave e 1st round winner to Kelly of coz... Saying she got stage pressence, dance, colors n all tt... I still haf no idea how is it they wan to see Kelvin dance n all... 2nd round of song was so clearly obvious tt Kelvin did better, so they had to give it to him... But of coz, Kelly's mentor gave it to her, saying hers was very modern... Kelvin's song was old n boring...

E judge, Xu Huan Liang said, if u do fairly well, as long as ur competitor makes mistakes, u win... Hmm, sounds weird after my translation... But u shd get e whole idea... Kelly did ok for e last 2 songs, but Kelvin screwed... Which justifies y Kelly did better overall...

But one thing i was pissed, was e new judges songs... Composed by Xu Huan Liang and Kelly's mentor, Li Fei Hui for Kelvin... Li Fei Hui said he wanted Kelvin to fall into e trap n show his weakness... Xu Huan Liang said he didnt noe about it though... But Kelly's song, Li Wei Song said, e song is catered to Kelly's voice... Most suitable for her...

Wah, pls lah, so obvious... One to kill, one to complement... How can like tt?

Dun do it so obvious leh... Be smarter can or not?

And Kelly's song was so easy to sing n low, tat she didnt even need much effort... Whereas Kelvin's song is much much more difficult to control...

To give credit, Kelly sang her last song incredibly well, e best rendition from ktv i heard so far... But there was one prob... Yes, like wat Rumei said, she sounded jus like Coco... She always imitate e original singers, which is y she is not consistent at all... But besides tt... She didnt haf emo in her song... It didnt touch me... at all...

But e second song was wat sealed the fate, i supposed... Tt category was supposed to be something like unplug and only acappella done by 5 of e contestants they chose each... Kudos to Kelvins guys, coz they truly complement to Kelvin's voice... But for Kelly, e girls were obviously trying to compete wif each other... Kelly's voice is not strong, and wif their loud acappella going on, Kelly's voice totally submerged into it...

Though Kelvin's overall performance was not very gd... But his second song, stood out, even through out e whole competition... He sang Jacky Cheung's Wo De Xing Zhen De Shou Shang Le... And tt song alone moved so many ppl... So many ppl were in tears... I didnt though coz my mum was beside me, but i was impressed... His nasal tone was totally gone in tt song... Even my critical mum who dun like Kelvin at all said its very gd... Surprising... Coz she seldom compliment singers other than herself (she was a singer last time u see)...

And i think tt moment was e magic...

Alot of ppl can sing, and i dare to tell u i know alot alot of ppl who can sing very well... Some has perfect technic... But not everyone can be a superstar... Or idol in a sense... So wat if ppl got nasal tone, Daniel Chan, Gigi, Sun Yan Zi and Cai Chuan Jia all haf horrible nasal tone, but did their fans care? Nope, they didnt... So i dun see y shd they get so worked up wif e nasal thingy...

I know one guy in particular who sing extremely well, and in e past, he didnt haf emo in his songs... But it is enuff to shut everyone up n listen... Recent yrs, i heard he started to train himself and move ppl to tears whenever he sang... Its gd tt he finally understood tt singing is jus not about technic...

But if u ask me honestly, can he be a idol, not trying to demean him, but i will haf to say, NO.

Can Taufik sing? Nope... Sly? Hell, no... Olinda? Though shes e best we haf ard, but shes not there yet...

But even so, they had e capability to influence at least a small portion of ppl, even though they r not gd looking at all...

And tts something, u cannot train... And tts e key to becum a star... Those who dun, eventually will all haf to say bye bye to e cameras...

In competitions, it doesnt matter whether u can sing or not... Wat matters is whether u can touch ppl, not neccessarily to tears... But they feel somthing... It is e connection tt matters... Which is wat they called so called X_Factor crap...

WHich is y alot of singers eventually didnt make it... Kit Chan sing extremely well, but her songs didnt move ppl... Li SHeng Jie n Shun Zi both had wonderful songs, wif wonder vocals, but fall short on emo...

Even the judges said, all songs haf to haf Gan Dong Du... If there is no MA DU, then u failed...

But my personal opinion is tt... For me, i am looking for gan dong du... But tis days, nobody sing like tt liao lah... Even my mum looked like shes in tears when she sing... I even shot a short video then when she did karoke at my gran's place... I think its zhi ye bing... But nowadays, artists jus need to look nice n pretty and jus lip sync lah... Dun think so much... Haha...

So many ppl going GAGA over Junyang, who sings like jus any other guys i hear at KTV wif a mid high range... In American idol, there was one time when e contestant sang a very sad song, but he smiled... And he was havily penalised on tt by e pro judges... It was so wrong... Junyang, unfortunately smile thru watever songs he sing, no gan qing at all... But do those ppl care, no they dun!

Which is y i still prefer songs in e early 90s, which obviously, my peers dun listen to... Those songs are e songs tt stay... Classics... And never grow tired of...

I love old songs... Only in their songs, can u hear the genuine heart of soul of music...

But if u jus listen for e sake of listening... Dun bother so much lah... Haha... Jus listen lor, and change n change n change whenever new songs come up...

Tis is e music culture now... No choice lah...
