surfing thru chU forums for titbits on my new obession and look wat i found?!

From ChU forum on Superband. -Nananana wrote it. wat a name. but i guess wat she wrote was more intelligent than her name. haha

being a total concept is really important or we would be back in the 1950s in the west or 1970s in singapore where singers just need to stand and sing with good voice. In fact, during then, singers don't even need to dance. They have background dancers.Could you imagine a boyband or girlband who don't dance?
The world has moved on. No longer is a good voice important. You need a TOTAL PACKAGE. Voice, Looks, Image, Dressings, Dance, Attitude, Marketing, Song, even record company etc. everything is important and anything can make or break the singer/group. Some group prance around the stage because it goes with their music type.
That is the whole value of entertainment and showsmanship. That is not called clowns or comedians. Not all clowns and comedians are entertaining in fact.
And entertainment is not limited to comedians and crowns. Music itself, besides being an art form, is also entertainment for the masses.
Another important factor that were overlooked is musical styles. Superband has brought together different genres of music. It is not possible to compare band to band by looking at one criteria only. Eg, You can't compare band 1 to 2 with vocals only, or dance moves only, or musical instruments only.
You can't compare the fact that Brods don't play instruments and Qinobe does and therefore Brods is worse off.
You can't compare J3 singing and Qinobe rapping and say the latter is lousy singers. You can't say Soul are such good dancers and Milopeng don't dance so Milopeng is bad.
Recognise the different genres that these groups are representing and try to judge them on their proper category.
It's pointless to compare modern dance with ballet in a competition. The only way to guage the better one is to see who is good in modern dance itself and who is good at ballet itself. Personally I prefer Ballet as it is an art that not all can excell even after many years of training. However, I will not automatically say that a ballerina is the winner and modern dancer is loser if they are in the same competition. I would assess if the ballerina is a good ballerina and if the modern dancer is good in her art form. If the ballerina is lousy and the modern dancer is excellent, I would think the winner is the modern dancer. tis analogy makes sense, no?

from MLB's Blog - by "My 2 cents worth."
Guo Huo is history.
After reading all the good reviews about Guohuo. I have something to say.
Music is an art - not science so there is really no success formal. it doesn't mean that cos Guohuo scores well with everyone means that is the success formula and therefore, it can be replicated.
Things turn out well cos of the right time, right song, right ambience, right place, right mood and right feeling and all these right elements will not come together again.
Every song has their essence.
Everyweek, people's expecations change, vibes change, feelings and mood changes so it doesn't mean if you play Guo Huo again, it will be as popular.
in fact, one can even use the concept of marginal utility to explain. no? hah.. u get the satisfaction level there then it will drop. becos there is would be overkill.( i said it!)
it is like food - when something is nice, you can't eat a second plate.
It won't taste as good - same goes for Music. (haha. he said one. not me!)
I worry that you guys start to take Guo Huo as the successful formula.
Guo huo is history - it makes people sit up and notice you and makes yourselves sit up and notice yourselves. But it is over.
Instead on lingering on Guohuo, i think it might be wiser to move on and discover new elements.
