i just have this sudden urge to blog about project superstar.
i know this is kinda weird. but yea. people might ask, is this a show even worth talking about? i must say that the controversies in this show is worth all the talk in town. (=
firstly, a blind guy won. yep. fantastic market value. a blind guy who gives hope to the society by overcoming his disability to sing his heart out to people.
therefore, people gave him votes. now i wonder, since he's won. and yes, play records is a big label. but how many people will actually buy his albums from now on? the challenge starts here. i have to say, singaporeans give sympathy when it's not the time.. =/
this is a talent show, and it is true that jun yang has more singing talent than weilian. and kelly has more potential too. tho weilian has high market value. it seems that it's really all about sympathy votes. that's what i really feel. many peoplr adore him for being the cute and innocent him. and yes i agree with that, he's cute, innocent, and sings well. unfortunately, he doesnt sing as well as jun yang.
and sometimes, if u think about it in another way, i'd be damned if i win a competition like this because of my disabilities (which means his being blind gave him an edge). if wei lian was just an ordinary guy, would he attract so much attention and so many votes? now then, he'd start to record his own albums blah blah. perhaps for the first ones. many pple will buy. but with his singing style which is pretty old and kinda boring sometimes, will his arden fans soon die down and off? a question to think about. sometimes i pity him.. but anyhow, Congrats that he's won!
i'm not saying he shouldnt have won lar. i mean. he did put in a lot of effort..
i have to comment that kelly really did a great job, especially when doing a duet with my beloved JJ Lim, the most talented Singaporean singer. woooot.
and she sang well on the last song too, the CoCo Lee song. whoa. fantastic. really fantastic rendition. it almost sounded like her own! =D good work..
well. i think to me, the highlight of the show was watching weijian and junyang sing again.. and yes. the MAIN highlight, was LIN JUN JIE!!!! see i toldddddd everyone he could sing live!!!
my mom was like okayyy. and now nessa's addicted to his songs. so exciting. i went to HMV to look for his album just now but i couldnt find it. quite sad.. quite in love with his performances and his voice. absolutely lovely.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, never thought i'd be an arden fan of ANYONE in my life, really.
oh well. -shrug-
