for 2 weeks i lived without internet connection in China!
i guess time really flies ? it seem like yesterday when i bid everyone farewell at the airport. its time to adapt back to singapore now, and speak more english! haha! i realised i've become pretty cheenafied when it comes to talking. Though i didnt bring back any weird slangs, but i brought back Mathilda, moulded and tested and desires to be stronger and more expressive! i guess, this time it really made me realise many things that sometimes we tend to run away from our current situation or we leave things hanging in there. But leaving things there eventually dont solve the problem. the only way is to face it, and change our mindset first and change our ways to approach the problem and CONTINUE the process until..... yea. you'll soon then realise you wont regret one bit for trying at first ;)
i just caught Campus Superstar II on Channel U earlier on. Seen so many people sang, but only 3 or 4 out of 12 i thought really sang. Sometimes you can sing, but singing takes more than just a good voice alone. you need to have soul in your music. this applies to any other form of music. i guess, thats the special X factor that will captivate any kind of listeners. and i thought in music, you gotta to have body, mind & soul. Body: this is the basics. you need to tell your audience that you want so much of their attention that you need their eyes to be fixed on your performance alone. Little body language is appropriate. (personally i cant stand people without flambloyant personalities and they move too much on stage; it just make them look akward ) doing the right actions at the right time is important too! Mind: there are people who really have a nice voice but they are very afraid to showcase their voice range. i thought this is kinnda wasted you know! hence you need to overcome your mindset that you cant reach those high keys, if someone assures you you can, means you can! Soul: it really comes from the heart. if you are 15 years old and you haven gone through alot of things, you need to imagine how that situation feels. actually i thought the best way to bring out a song, is you find a point of agreement in the song itself.
oh yes, hahahah melo and us we figured out who's our fave guys and girls representing the 4 seaons.
