mmm... just a guide on singer and musician's song, not to really define the lines, i never meant that singers are lesser musicians, i'm just speaking what the two categories i see in the world, and the reactions expected ...singer's songs are meant to be simpler to fit in with singers and be easier to remember, musician's songs more complex to drive the emotion in detail, harder to remember...i would refer classical and jazz to be musician's music...
Nope, i luvvvvvvv Britney's b...... :lol: :lol:
britney / christina augrellia / shakira or wadeva "artiste"
are merely walking soft porn stars who just lip synch in concerts and have ultra skimpy costumes and wham bam extravagant dance moves... like seriouslly ..
are they selling their music or are they selling their "image" ?

My own opinion:
1 listen to SgIdols, and I was damn turn off. I might not be a super talent or music critique, but they all sure did NOT earn the right to take my money. I for one, would not spend a single cent on their albums.
In my biased opinion, the good singers are all out. Olinda is good, but she can only suit a limited style (which is not bad...but bad for the competition). The rest is like, pure rubbish. Singing is not fantastic, alot of wannabe imagery. I will not say my individual opinions on the Sgidols coz I'm sure it'll anger alot of fans, especially those under 18.
I really do prefer the old style singers and bands who go by the circuit, such as bands like Electrico, Observatory...etc Even individual artiste that were singing in competitions and pubs such as Kit chan...tanya and stephanie sun...etc.. These are tried and tested talents that I have no doubt in party with my $$
As for the fasttrack of SgIdols that is decided by the whims of non-discerning tone-def fans (eg. friends who vote for the sake of friends and not talent)... well, I'm definitely not a convinced person.... unless u show me some clay aiken...or fantasia barino...
This is all my opinion, so take it with a pinch of salt.

i've actually seen him in person before singapore idol. my band was playing the first heart rock, and he was with this other chinese rock band. oh man that was probably the best band there. i must say though although he sucks at singing, i think he's got a good band to fall back on.
he's probably not a popstar that's all. he's in the wrong competition.

I don't know if Superpunk was right in critising Sly, but he is entitled to his own opinion, just like anybody else. I'm not for Singapore Idols, but I am certainly for Sly and definely for his band L'Z.fier.
They have great attitude. These guys have no airs even though they played well and I can count on them anytime. Music quality, looks, attitude and marketing.... I put attitude first in choosing my very own idol.

its obvious the competition is bull.
its not singapore idol... its " who can get the most number of dumb people to call in and PAY mediacorp loads of money "
its true the best singers are out.. now its just who gets the most people to pay for them to move on to the next leg of the competition.

from wad i c its all a money spinning gimmick from mediacorp really .... out of e last five ...honestlly speaking other than olinda which one can really sing ? when music becomes all about commercialisation , capitalisation and money ... dun u think some of music's reaL character is lost ?
to prove my point ... just look at how mediacorp keep like milking e public's money ? five spectacular ... all e hopeless people ... wildcard draw ... wild guess ... Etc wadeva nonsense ... isit really a 2nd chance for people to showcase their talent ? or isit Blatant COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION of the poor desperados eager for an extended round of their five seconds of fame ?
i mean ... look beyond the judges ... the producers are pulling the shots , not the judges ... singapore idol is a farce ...
betcha one thing .... e winner of sg idol will cut one or two albums and will fade into obscurity ... no matter how "mainstream" their music is ... once idol fever dies down ... ( assuming there is no sg idol 2 --> money is everything in singapore )
why you want to be angry? if you know u can play u can play.. if you dont then do something about it.. if the girls say u cant play.. but YOU know u can play.. so why be angry? in my point of view.. if im angry like that.. that means im not satisfied with my playing.. i played like crap .. so i'm angry at myself and even more angry when the girls pointed it out.. u get what i'm saying? about sylvester.. dude.. why you worry? this is singapore.. the community for rockers or shredders like you is pretty small.. if they know u can play well.. then thats it.. u CAN play well.. its not bout the girls.. and if YOU decide to go into the girls zone thingy shit.. dont shred.. simple. sorry dude.. but thats the situation here.. welcome to singapore. 
girls hate shred music

dont be liddat.. as musicians.. we must learn to accept different genres as possible.. absorb and deliver.. only way you can be versatile dude..
versatility is very crucial in the scene.. you blardee versatile.. ppl need guitarist.. straight away find u... you blardee versatile.. ur name will always be remembered.. and lastly.. you get respect. but then again.. u dun be so versatile den become arrogant or sombong laaa attitude laosai.. u go down the drain too.. =)

singapore idols just proved how singaporeans don't care much for quality but eye-candy.
which is real sad. has anyone watched malaysian idols? even their rejects are ten thousand times better than the ones we voted to stay on the show. and is it just me or daphne sounds the same week after week after week after week. there is only so much baby-ish-ness (i'm sorry but 17 is not a kid, you're a freaking pre-adult and please, stop acting all cutesy when you're dressed like a drag queen) an individual can tolerate.
i mean. i bet she's a nice girl from the school choir and stuff. but really. singaporeans. are you sure you want your airwaves to be filled with voices you can get from the KTV?
*sigh*

+1 for the drag queen bit...
the best singer/performer in the show was... JESSE.... the one that didnt get in because no body SPENT ANY MONEY$$$ on her... Not because she screwed up her set...not because she cant sing... not because shes married with kids .... but..becuase..no body paid 5bucks a call to vote her in. She is HOT ...she could SING freaking well .. and she can dance.
generally i feel the singers in the competition though a far cry from american idol... but im still relatively proud of them being able to perform at a .... semi professional level... be it a money making scheme from media corp or not.
i think they can sing much much better then an average joe..
im envious because i CANT EVEN SING A FEW NOTES without bursting into rabid laughter.
