Goodbye Lydia Sum!, Wasted Opportunities at One Million Star Season 3 Competition

Goodbye Lydia Sum!

It's another fallen star for the entertainment scene in the region because Lydia Sum has moved on to the next world. I am not a particularly big fan of hers but I remembered watching a number of her shows and she was always the actress and comedian who put in her heart and soul in breathing life into the characters she played.

It has been a terrible year for many celebrities and celebrities-watchers so far. First the death of MC king, then the Edison Chen photo-fallout and now Lydia Sum and later on the lost opportunities for 超级星光大道 3 contestants in Singapore. Let's hope tomorrow will be better. Rest in peace, Lydia!
Wasted Opportunities at One Million Star Season 3 Competition:
Ever since the conclusion of the abovementioned singing competition auditions in Singapore, there has been much confusion about who are the shortlisted contestants who will fly to Taiwan for the full competition in a week's time.
Finally, according to yesterday's newspapers, these are the shortlisted ones:
1) 潘嗣敬 (Singapore's Project Superstars Season 1)
2) 蔡嘉航 (Singapore's Campus Superstars Season 1)
3) 陈智毅 (Malaysia's Project Superstars Season 3)
4) 黄靖伦
5) 傅英豪
Poor Zhiyang and Lingyi had to abandon their places because Zhiyang had to serve National Service and Lingyi had some visa problem to enter Taiwan due to her Chinese passport.
National policies and international politics do play a part in developing one's talents in singing and performances so now everyone knows that it doesn't mean that if one can sing and perform well, all doors will be open for one.
Good luck to all the remaining five contestants!
