I was never really a person for Channel8/U talent quests programmes.
Happened to switch to Channel U to some talent-quest show where apaprently(according to HG) they try to find a good-looking person who has talent. Oh, and the theme that day was "tian mei", which I interpret as cutesey and girlish. And after watching them strut around on stage with I'm-so-freaking-cute videos of themselves being aired, I have this to tell them:
1. Anorexics/Bulimics do NOT look good on stage in dresses. I don't care if you're a size 2. Petite people do NOT equal underweight. Go gain some weight please.
2. Stop acting cute and claiming its natural. It's disgusting.
3. Talent is not playing with bread and forks on the table. Period. I don't care how sweetly you smile.
4. The ability to speak mandarin PROPERLY(or at least, get your pronounciation right) should rank tops in a MANDARIN TV show.
5. Creativity please. The only "cutesey" person who was memorable was the one who looked punk(in pink, yes) and ate popcorn(if you think eating is unglam, let me tell you, its not). The rest were stereotypical and stuck on the safe side(like opening their eyes wide, batting their eyelashes, and smiling oh-so-innocently).
6. Smiles should be natural, not forced.
I just wish there was a programme aimed at discovering real, pure, RAW talent and not so much on their looks and appearance. We should be able to find plenty of ordinary people who are amazing musicians/artists/dancers in Singapore. It's just a matter of whether we want to accept them or not(if you haven't noticed, many of the great musicians don't need cool clothes, crazy hairstyles, or MTVs to get people to AFFIRM their talent. They're always pretty low key and never really appear on the tabloids.)
I wasted 2 hours in the afternoon sleeping and woke up to an arm that didn't feel like mine. Then lethargy set in for 2 hours and I didn't do much of anything, again.
Oh damn, my German essay is long due and I don't know what to write on Zukunft.
Ich liebe Musik. Ich spiele das Kavier und werde in die Zukunft Gitarre spielen lernen. Ich wunsche, dass ich kann die Klavier und Gitarre Spielerin fur meine Kirche sein.
In andere Landen reisen ist auch sehr interessant! Du wollst andere Menschen kennen, und andere Essen essen. Aber ich habe keine Lieblingsland. Fur mich, alles Landen sind interessant und schon. In die Zukunft will ich in mehr Europanischen Landen reisen. Zum Beispiel, Osterreich, Gross Britannien, Griechenland, Italien, Spanien, Portugal und Deutschland. Dann kann ich in Deutschland Deutsch sprechen!
Crap this is going nowhere. I jsut did the above excerpt without any dictionary and made up some of the articles myself. I bet the grammar is just horrible.
Thanks to all the blogs i referred to (countless) for html code help :) (esp. cyn' and sixseven)
