Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails....

Superband errr...


《非常 Superband 2》TOP 16 is revealed. While working on my report yesterday, I heard something weird coming out from the TV. And when I turn around, I was quite disgusted by the looks and performance of the group. Well, not that I have any experience in this, but as an audience point of view, I do have my own opinion on what makes a band a band:

- A band is an identifiable style that players achieve when they play together. It is not just like a bunch people coming together and jam, like some of the Superband groups. Some just seem like individual person proficient in their own playing and doing it in a world of their own, leading to unsynchronized playing. Instead of rocking the world, when I look at them, I hope they just dont open their mouth or start playing. =x

- Enjoying each others’ presence.

- Listening to each other in a band is crucial. I think a superband needs to be united as one before they are able to create a style of their own. Personally I felt some of the groups were just copying a style from a band.

- I think a superband needs a combination of equally proficient members. It wont be possible to try to cover each others flaws. U noe like how some are just not meant to be singers, but becuz they sang ‘the best’ in the group and thats why that person becomes a singer.

- A good beginning and ending is crucial. It sets the tempo and mood of the whole performance. And a good ending determines a good and real band.

- A good band is like energy builder. When it seems like it is going to explode anytime. If the group of people doesnt feel all that excited when playing a hip song or feels super bored when playing a sad song, omg, dont form a band la.

Ok random grumbling. :p
