爱就宅一起!
ok... after so many episodes of campus superstar, i have a major gripe on one of the judges, and that is xiaohan. i admire her as a great lyricist, but as a judge, i dont think she will make the cut. the problem is, she always lets her maternal instincts affect her, so the score she gives is not an accurate indicator of the performance of the contestant. rather, it is an indication of how much the contestant manages to appeal to her sense of pity or affection.
i find it frustrating that contestants who did not perform well get a high score from her just so that she can bring up the overall score a little, and the contestant will not feel sad. in other cases, little boys like jarod appeal to her maternal instinct, and she has a natural tendency to overrate him. personally, i felt jarod performed poorly today. he even missed a few words because he was out of breath, yet the judges did not point that out. he certainly deserves a much lower score. i mean, this is a competition after all. as the saying goes, 比赛是残酷的. those that do not meet the standards should be prepared to face the possibility of being booted out.
huishi also performed averagely. she sang a really simple song. seriously, almost everyone, including people who listens to english songs, knows gu dan bei ban qiu and can probably sing it too. AND she didnt attempt to remix the song or add in her own style. ok. maybe i could close an eye on that if she sang the song close to perfection, but unfortunately, her yin1 zhun3 was nowhere near that. so it really puzzles me how she ends up as the number 2 contestant of the night.
jiamin continues to perform consistently tonight. but i personally preferred aijia's performance more, because it was the liveliest performance of the night, and she managed to sustain her breath despite incorporating a few dance moves. i do not see what is wrong with singing another kuai4 ge1 (and doing it well), yet the judges feel that aijia did not bring them any surprises, after hearing her sing di yi tian in her first round, which was another fast song. i felt that was quite unfair, because if she is ranked against the other contestants of the night, she is definitely one of the better performing ones. i mean, if fast songs is her style, and she sings them well, it should be fine. even professional singers arent all rounded too...
last but not least is my favourite benita! haha. she performed averagely tonight, by her standards. she sang a song that was just slightly challenging, and was generally able to sing the song well, with the exception of a few high notes.
my personal ranking of the night:
1. aijia
2. jiamin
3. benita
4. jarod
5. huishi
on a side note, channel U will be showing 爱就宅一起 soon! tong bu shou bo with taiwan! omg. another rainie show so soon :D
