Reply to tags about 9 Feb 2009 CSS performances n blogged commentaries

ridhwan supporter: IMO, they all sang badly tonite except the Jarod kid was ok but dnno why he got so low score...Ai JIa looks like hot favourite to go on and on. seems quite obvious Ai Jia's pronounciation is better than all the rest.. she seem to sing like taiwan singers.

I dun think Jiamin sang well at all... this song is too mature for her to sing.. it sounds weird when she sing cos she can't understand the emotions properly and it sounds weird.

They shud choose songs nearer their age... tt's why Jarod got low score also.. i think Benita also can't handle the song well.. too mature for her also.. sounds weird when she sing cos.. she don't understand the feelings in the song to sing it properly.

Ai JIa chose a fun song.. suits her age...the judges jus wan to hear a something different from her.. if I'm not wrong they wanna see improvement.

Rachel sang the song with not enuff conviction.... same as the last round Jeremy sang the dou jiang you tiao.

Reply: Well, all the contestants did improve a few things in their performances but some remained stagnant in certain areas whilst others slipped backwards. I still kindly stick to my opinion that Jarod did the worst last night despite his efforts but everyone here is entitled to his/her opinions or assessments of the performances. =)

passby: yeah... i agree... aijia out may be a good thing as she may be the champ of css if she revives as revival ones will be champ

Reply: Maybe. Maybe not. It really depends on how careful Aijia can manage her transformation. Don't forget there is still the possibility that other revival contestants or cleared contestants may make quantum improvements somewhere along the future rounds. Such fun anticipation. ^__^

: i guess benita is too jin zhang. thats why she can't sing well. but i believe she can sing much much better than this in next round.same goes to rachael.

Reply: I am admittedly quite worried about Benita's repeated health conditions that had been interfering with her potential performance. Flu, Fever, Asthma - all these can weaken her constitution over time and diminish her chances further in the increasingly competitive rounds. Hope Benita and all the other contestants can take care of their health better. -__-"

: jarod is sick,though it cant be an excuse,but he didn't say out that his sick even though his marks were low. and im sure jarod can do well,just that he is too nervous and everything.i guess the stress he's taking, esp after jiamin scores high. sometimes.choosing wrong song,cant blame them.producers want them to do it,but after all i feel jarod can sing well for TING HAI. just that he din show his potential. im confident of jarod the next round.

aijia did ok,but she was oversafe,and imagine her singing slow songs,i think it'll be bad.thats why i guess her out is not a very shocking thing though i expected her to stay for the next few rounds.look out people,jarod will do well,trust me.alot people voted for jarod,he will make it and be better.
and i feel.

rachael chang singing wasn't good at all.she can only sing such slow songs,no climax songs.jiamin was ok,but the song dont sound smooth. watever it is,i look forward to jarod's next performance,i believe,he wont let his fans and frens down again.he learnt his lesson.

Reply: Let's hope so. From the Pre-Concert till yesterday night, I felt that Jarod had been consistently making a series of disappointing renditions of the classic songs in the Mandarin pop genre. 《新不了情》,《I Believe》, 《听海》were all performed below expectations so I have little patience left for him. If Jarod cannot buck up his standards, and yet somehow continues through the competition, he would not be able to command decent respect from people in front of the stage. -__-

sam (from comments page): did u notice that actually jarod forgot the lyrics? yeah only a few words but how come none of the judges mentioned about it? anyway, i think ai jia's performance was good. so sad that she's out...


Reply: Did he? Perhaps but that was lost to me because I was busy jotting down his other more obvious mistakes during his performance last night. You are probably more observant than I am then. Thanks for commenting as well! ^__^

Joyce Stella: Dorothy, I think Benita is not nervous actually, but she is sick due to the event games that she played on Sat. Anyway, I think that the judges gave AiJia out caused they felt she never change her style, show the judges a different side of her that they wanted to see. in fact, a lot of them were saying that Hui Shi was the one who is doing badly yest, but surprisingly she got in.

Reply: I don't know why the judges did not seem to be bothered that Benita, Jiamin, Jarod and Rachael all sang the same genres of songs from their previous rounds too - sentimental love ballads. Perhaps their bar set for Rachel was much higher than the rest? Puzzled but resigned to the judges' final decision. Rachael's fanbase was extremely fanatic and she even had her own "artiste managers" doing groundwork for her so I was not surprised she got in last night.
