All abt Singing

I was watching the SuperStar competition on Channel U jus now. There were 6 contestants featured tonite. I couldnt help but feel like dropping some comments....

Seriously speaking, except for a couple of them, I dun really find the rest of their singings fantastic. But then, they are definitely superb in their overall stage presentation. Its not easy to sing 'live' and having to perform on stage at the same time. Most probably they were qualified into the semis not jus solely on their singing prowess, but their stage performance talents.

But wat made me more uncomfortable are some of those judges, whom i think arent very good singers themselves in the first place. From my own knowledge, some of them were not teaching the right stuffs abt singing, esp when they mentioned abt using certain 'parts' of the body to expel the voices out. Its true that this will make the singer sound 'nicer' and also easier for them to sing, but then its definitely not going to help him/her in the long run. That explains why many famous singers (can i name them?) need many months/years of rest before they can launch their next album.. tats becos they have hurt their vocals. Can u recall AhMei and Jeff Chang used to be very powerful singers.. but wat happened?

Just now, one of the contestants really sound soooo nice, but he was practically using his throat voice throughout the entire song... i wonder if he is able to sing a 3rd or 4th song continuously like that.

Haha, i think i am beginning to sound very critical and arrogant.. but such basic knowledge shld be known by many others who have attended formal music lessons before. Still, i feel that it will be better if more qualified and professional singing judges can be invited to give comments, and not those who can write songs but know little abt singings.
