The one with dreams to be a STAR!
Talking abt singing competitions in my previous entry,
Singapore Idol is coming up again. BORING…
I read some article sometime ago talking abt Singaporeans’ dream to make it big in the music industries and I totally agreed to what the writer is trying to say and I also have some opinions to add as well.
Can you really make it big in Singapore as an artist?
Answer is Yes and No.
Why is that so you may ask…
Please I don’t mean to be rude and if I offended anyone in my later entry, please forgive me as I am just trying to give you some heads up and please do think about it before you past judgment on me.
Why No?
Well, just look at our 1st season’s contestants, what has happened to them, Taufik & Sly both managed to release an album, but was it great? So what if Taufik managed to sell a couple of thousands or so, where is this going to lead him? A second album? Who is going to buy them? I mean, come on, think about it. It is also due to some racial issues as well. I can’t stress more bcos I don’t want to be like some of our past bloggers who made the mistake of writing the wrong things and ended up with a slap on their butt but do think about it. All you are going to get is your 15mins of fame after that just be lucky that your name is being mentioned or you are being featured in our ‘Gotcha!’ When the 2nd seasons comes up and your name is being mentioned, people will start saying… Oli who??
Why Yes?
Lets look at another spectrum of people who succeed in the music industry in Spore. Do you notice a pattern? Did you notice the race? Obvious enough? Think!I think you are starting to get the picture.Its not bias or anything, it is just that there is a larger market out there for such people. Did any of the other spectrums of people in Spore made it big locally or in other countries? I mean seriously speaking, there are much more talented and better vocals in their own country and I don’t think anyone in Spore can compare to theirs, just look at their idol competitions.Then again look at Sly, its not a 100% successful formula. He is the exception.
So for all the idol hopefuls coming up, good luck with your 15mins of fame.
For the rest of us, wake the fuck up, stop dreaming and start working hard.
