Looks is all it matters in 超級星光大道?

Firstly, I think Lin Yu Ze don't deserve to be out this round. There are other contestants that did badly in this round and managed to get away freely. I was predicting who will be eliminated this week and sure enough, Lin Yu Ze gets it. I know he met a strong contestant, Cai Ai Jia but he had already given all his best in this song so much so he broke his voice at 2:23.



After watching this episode, I kind of think looks and popularity is equally important in singing competition. When someone isn't handsome, pretty or unique, audiences cannot concentrate on the looks and hence neglect the singing part.

Forget about the X factor and listen to the way Cai Ai Jia sings a slow song compared to her past fast tempo songs. Start watching at 6:20 below



Although I really prefer her singing fast songs to slow songs, it is still a good one. Cai Ai Jia is also the one who beats Lin Yu Ze and causes him to be out of the competition. In total, Cai Ai Jia had managed to kick 2 contestants out which makes her a very young, worthy pk-er.

Before her was Huang Zhi Yang who lost to Rose, Liu Ming Xiang. I think Liu Ming Xiang really did a good job and Huang Zhi Yang did not do a bad job either. He was equally good just that they were mainly competing who hit the high notes perfectly. In this case, Rose got the upper hands in falsetto.

Next up, Olivia Ong getting 20 marks in her first attempt on 超級星光大道. She managed to pk off Li Jie Yu who did a considerably good job, 18 marks.



Start watching at 5:11

I cannot explain why I am attracted to Olivia's voice. She has that kind of lyrical rhythms. Just like the way she sang 'Ru Yan' from Little Nyonya, she is able to captivate the minds of one.

About last week, I said all the contestants like Cai Ai Jia and Wang Shun Da will be out of the competition is wrong information! hoho. This week was Huang Zhi Yang that will be leaving the stage but I guess it will be next week.

Lastly, something about Anthony. I think the judges is too over* especially the Xiao Ling. On top of the 5 marks she had given, she stood up to give another additional 10 marks (9:47) which I think is something not needed. In her later part when she is giving comments, she said that Xu Yong Ling is very hardworking and blah blah blah but she don't know how deep she contradicts herself.



Start watching from 1:00

Anthony's performance deserves 25 marks because at some point in time, he did make it very touching with his voice in the quietness. It's hard to do that especially the voice became crystal clear in an empty atmosphere. About the marks awarded, Tao Zi did remind the judges that if 5 marks is not enough to give, they can raise 1 hand which means 1 additional marks or stand up which means 10 marks. (which Xiao Ling crazily did)

It's just my 2 cents worth about 超級星光大道. You watch it based on your own accord.
