Somehow that post seemed ironic to me. Cuz I found that Singapore Idol fits the "hot for a couple of mth but then VANISH" description better. Admittedly, I was crazy about Taufik. But now, he's just another singer out there. And sly is forgotten and so on. But the local bands that I've been supporting, are still in the scene. So yeah. =\
The most obvious examples I would choose-Electrico, Ronin. They started out humbly. Gig by gig, they gain more supporters. And now, their singles are getting alot of radio airplay. They're not the only bands too. There's other bands out there who has already made it big or are constantly rising in the local scene. Sooner or later, you'll even be hearing WGB's singles everywhere! Haha. Okay my point is that, competitions are more often than not, just passing fads. You get overnight fame, but would soon be forgotten if you don't continue putting in effort. But yeah, the school of rock winners are still around anyways and they're still as awesome. Just don't compare them to Singapore Idol cuz I'm pretty sick of the 'idol' phenomenon. =\
