-: Yes, it's a Superstar competition and the appearance-disadvantaged will have to fight harder than the others to earn their places. I can only do my best within my performance commentaries to critique only on their singing and performances, and leave the choosing of the outward appearances to the voters instead. Well, I thought I took even more fire during Season 1 receiving even death threats from really agitated supporters but I got used to such things already. Thanks for looking out for me! =)
passer: I understand the sentiments of those who saw my 5.5 as a tough score against Ridhwan, given his ethnic and language background and the comparatively difficult performance he gave. But my thoughts are in line with Li Fei Hui Laoshi - if Ridhwan dared to sing and dance at such difficulty level, he'll have to deliver. If he fumbles (which unfortunately he did), he must accept the scoring consequences.
passer-by: Jeremy has his stage appeal but it will depend on whether he can continue to deliver and improve against his previous performance(s). The same goes for the remaining nine contestants, as well as the two earmarked for revival - can they better themselves and show growth in becoming the next Campus Superstar? Good luck to them all!
C1 李李美子 Mavis - 《我要快乐》 原唱者：张惠妹
- the opening line was dragged out too slowly
- 抖音 and 哭腔 were a little overdone
- 早 was sung slightly off-key
- 情绪有点过苦沉
- judges' scores are 6.0+7.0+7.5+7.0= 27.5
- I would have given Mavis a 6.5 because her performance seemed to lock the song into a fixated emotion when there should have been a release of freedom in her singing. Without that important change, the song became a dead-end ballad when it was not meant to be so.
C2 丁文淞 Jeremy - 《彩虹》 原唱者：周杰伦
- 能 was sung a little too low
- 天，的云，你要 were not enunciated correctly
- volume control of the song seemed loose
- judges' scores are 6.0+6.5+6.5+7.5= 26.5
- I would have given Jeremy a 7.0 because although his voice was perfectly suited for this song, his volume control was erratic and it disturbed the quality of the performance. His facial expression was also relatively lacking to emote the song properly.
C3 叶嘉敏 Jiamin - 《灰姑娘》 原唱者：张惠妹
- 了很久 抖音 was a little too much
- her voice projection was a little too conservative to fully bring out the song's flavor, holding herself back more than it was necessary
- 我的他 was not enunciated properly
- judges' scores are 7.5+8.0+8.0+6.5= 30.0
- I would have given Jiamin a 7.5 because even though she performed a song a little bit too safe to justify the spirit of the song, her vocal control and volume control of the song were very steady and she knows how to emote and lighten the key portions of the song in a timely fashion.
C4 张慧诗 Rachael Chang - 《勇气》 原唱者：梁静茹
- Opening word 终 's key seemed to be incorrect
- Background music over-ran her voice at somewhere near the first chorus
- 真心，太急 were not enunciated correctly
- 我 sounded a little too low
- judges' scores are 6.5+6.5+6.0+6.0= 25.0
- I would have given Rachael a 6.0 because I kept seeing Rachael concentrating on smiling and fiddling with her hair when she should be emoting the song and entering the proper state of mind to portray the song well. Her apparent distraction which was very obvious to me at least, mars her score from my view.
C5 Ridhwan Azman - 《就是我》 原唱者：林俊杰
- 忘词 for at least two full lines during the verses and was unable to recover back to form properly for at least the next five lines of the song
- high note's reach was less impactful than what was expected
- microphone positions kept changing, affecting projection of his singing voice
- judges' scores are 6.0+7.0+6.5+5.0= 24.5
- I would have given Ridhwan a 5.5 because his performance was very good before he started forgetting his lyrics so what was intended as a 7.5 was seriously penalized when he started fumbling. I know learning Mandarin songs for Ridhwan is an uphill task but an incomplete performance cannot possibly command a good score, no matter how hardworking the contestant was at backstage.
C6 郑琪颖 Benita - 《心动》 原唱者：林晓培
- 影，明白，住在 were not enunciated properly
- the final note at the ending seemed a beat slower and slightly unsteady
- judges' scores are 6.5+8.5+7.0+7.5= 29.5
- I would have given Benita a 7.5 because barring some minor technical issues, she did a very good job emoting the song and I could feel her singing to be in-tune with the mood of the song. Her facial expression could have a little more room for improvement. For example, she had closed her eyes for certain portions to thoroughly enjoy the song more and hold the ending a little longer with her stage presence, it would have been a better grade.
Good luck to all - still have 3 minutes left to vote!
