bobby: I personally felt that joselin deserved a 6.0. If you noticed, the key that joselin sang was 2 keys below the original singer. The original key would be an undoubtedly difficult song to clear. But with a -2 key, i'm rather sure almost anyone can sing it. And her falsetto was rather horrendous, weak and coarse. This happened for her "wo xiang xin" where she -2keys as well. It seems that joselin is always choosing songs that seems to be difficult and then minus the keys to fit her limited range. I personally feel that her vocls are one of the weakest among the contestants, due to her limited range and weak voice. Her looks and style will not get her far.
- You know the song well indeed. Admittedly, I have considered failing Joselin for Monday's special revival because she did forget her lyrics. I was even asking the people who was with me if I had misheard the lyrics but they agreed that Joselin did miss at least two lines of her chorus (at least based on the lyrics provided on the screen).
- I did not fail her because she did show much improvement under the special tutoring of Li Feihui Laoshi and for once she was not trying too hard at trying to be a rocker but rather emote appropriately according to the song. As encouragement for a budding young singer, a fail grade did not appear. I did not factor that much on her falsetto skills that night because I was more focused on whether she could get the feel of the song right. Whether her looks and style will get her far or not depends on how intent the artiste management teams of MediaCorp want her to be in the future. The same goes for the remaining eleven Campus Superstars. ^__^
comments: why didn't u say that joselin forget her whole part of chorus?
- As mentioned above, I just want to give her a grading break since I had been pretty harsh on Joselin ever since she first competed on the stage. She was still learning so there was no point thrashing her all over on Monday night. It does not mean I am saving up any thrashing for the Grand Finals. She is, like the three others, a Grand Finalist.
secret agent: Honestly feel that de judges shld have gave rachel more marks. she deserve more den joselin.
- I believe the judges may have heard more mistakes made by Rachel than I did since being so close to the stage do provide a closer scrutiny of the contestants' performances. Honestly speaking, Rachel was breaking up the song with more breaks than what was necessary (which took some marks out) but I admired her courage to be always attempting difficult songs and making the best of what she could with a genuinely sincerely style (which added some marks as well).
- After listening to her singing during the practice rounds with Zhanlun Laoshi, I believe Rachel is one of the contestants on Monday night who still has more room in her cup to be filled with more skill and experience. She is likely to grow even stronger given time. Upon serious consideration, I thought a 7.5 out of a possible 10 on my commentaries was an appropriate mark to encourage her to keep on singing.
PB: did mediacock play cheat again? i felt dat joselin score and rachel lim score should swop. rachel is better.
- Well, the judges must have their reasons. We may not accept their grades for certain contestants over certain rounds but I believe they would not be so foolhardy to dispense marks without thinking things through very carefully.
passed: yes apparently mdc wants joselin back cos she's rich and they can earn big bucks. rachel lim sang better than her. i feel that the outcome of the finals shld be in the order they went in (:
- Word has reached me for quite some time ago that Joselin may have a potentially powerful background and has successfully acquired the support of quite a number of influential people, including a few Campus Superstars seniors whom I shall not name here so as not to implicate them. This is perfectly acceptable because it is up to one's own to garner support for such competitions and if she triumphs in the voting rounds, there is nothing wrong with it either.
- Regardless of how Joselin chooses to use her supporters' base, I will still do whatever I can to give my personal performance commentaries as accurate a perspective as I can during the upcoming Grand Finals. As long as Joselin can perform up to expectations and standards during her performances, I will not hesitate to give due recognition on my commentaries. ^__^
css3 watcher: Weilian wil be one of the judges in the grand finals!!!!! of cos , he will also be performing
- Ah...Weilian... It's been quite a while. Hope the contestants can take a leaf from his competent singing skills onstage.
gab: Yea. Joselin sang well, but i think she shldnt have gotten so high. on the other hand, rachel definitely deserves more than 34.5 . Thr judges are plain biased.
- As mentioned, the judges must have their reasons. Although good contestants eventually get eliminated here and there during such competitions, try not to lament about the loss of potentially growing singers like Rachel and Benita because it doesn't necessarily mean they will have to get champions in order to go far if they choose to sing more professionally or appear onstage in future events. Sponsors' perceptions of their public images, artiste managers' willingness to develop them, opportunities to involve them in related events all do play a part in keeping them on the stage.
- Remember the Campus Reunion Concert? As long as they have the passion to sing and the opportunities are available, contestants can still return to the stage in better form than ever before.
Good luck to the four Grand Finalists and hope they can prepare themselves to the best of their abilities for the coming round! ^__^
