Maroon 5
Song sang by Maroon 5 never fades in the media main streams... We have new emerging artise everyday from all corners of the planet earth....but this song really make me grooove!!..
Today, realilty TV shows is one major contributor of this new emerging artise.. The sprout like mushrooms underneath the tree trunk...We have BIG BROTHER (see this show while I was in UK...its a CRAP show..but people still watched it) , X-Factor (thats where El-Divo got their fame),American Idol (I still dont get it why on earth Sanjay is still on!!..hes a CRAP!!) of course, our local breed, Akedemi Fantasia (most watched reality show in MALAYSIA...even though Mas Ayu finds it disgusting.)..One in A Million (Malaysian version of American Idol..kinda like Suki and Faisal with their style of singing) and also GANGSTARZ to name a few.
Yups...I have to admit that I watched these shows whenever i feel so bored at home in Miri...
Apart from American Idol or AF5, Gangstarz is the program i watched the most... And I do follow it...Reason being is, Gangstarz is a show where 3 countries, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore are competing with each other... I dont know the reason why the Singaporeans sent their rappers to compete, which they dont really respect Malaysian (sorry Kak Lina and to my Singaporean friends, Im not implying to you).. Rapping and saying things that arent supposed to be said here in Malaysia, resulting them to be expelled from the contest.
Then we have the Malaysian groups and Indonesian groups. These two countries really showed their talent to the fullest....But From my point of view, Indonesian groups shows better performance than the Malaysian...
I bet everyone watched that show will agree with me that Indonesian are more artistic and very appealing in the performance. Band called The Lima , which only comprising 3 blokes from Indonesia, performed Naluri Lelaki few weeks back, originally sang by Samsons, were very awesome!!... They throw out their sweat and tears for that performance.. I got goose bumps after watching it on the TV... Then a group called Mendua..Even the judges were complaining about their rojak-ed fashion,but their singing style was stunning!!...the vocals, the dancing...they did 110%!!!!...
Credits to the Malaysian groups as well.. Vocals were not bad but maybe the lacking of that 110%...They seems to be "malu malu kucing"...or in English... still some essence of Shyness!...
It has always been like this...because Malaysians are not artistic in performance per se. We are creative in Arts, culture but not in perfomance...Why?...Because our culture... Since birth, our parents have shield us from the outside world... We start to so called "socialising" when we were 5 years old...thats when we started to go to kindergarten.. But we are all exam orientated.. We strive to achieve As for our exams and mostly we were taught science subjects... Art was there but it was only fine art...
Then we have society in the country whom doesnt recognised profession that is art related... Mostly we hear Engineers, Doctors or Lawyers the choices our parents have shown us since birth... But it not Singers, Sculptures or designers...They are doomed by the people if they choose these profession..
Indonesian on the other hand, are more opened in Performing Arts... I have a friend from Indonesia who studies only Classical Music!!... Chopin, Vivaldi, Benthoven and many more classical composers were her idol... What she is right now?...A well known composer...
Another friend who only concentrate on broadcasting...He ended up as a producer today for a famous movie in Indonesia...and that movie was highly preceived by Malaysians...
Malaysian movies like Yasmin Ahmads movies are realilty to Malaysian but Malaysian couldnt accept it...because it is happening to Malaysian today...But Malaysian prefer some sopa drama... Which is not educational or entertaining..
Malaysian singers, mostly, sings love songs, either have broke up or getting into a fight..
But Indonesian singers... Its more happy, joyous type of songs... Malaysian prefers these songs compared to Malaysian artise... but could Malaysian music industry catch up??
Thats why we have the debate we always hear in Malaysia, Why Indonesian Artise are famous in Malaysia but Malaysian artise is not in Indonesia or Even in Malaysia???...welll.think for yourself after my blurbring up there!!.
These are not related to anyone...just something I feel and what I think!!
