I had a random conversation with my dad while we were having tea yesterday. And he was telling me how urgent Singapore's music industry is in terms of young composer. Nowadays, the number of young composers are depleting and ya, it might aggravate local singers. As in ONLY singing. And so, he told me that there's no point having Singapore Idol when local talents can ONLY sing but can't really songwrite or create their own lyrics. Since composers are in dire hit of creating more songs for this bunch of assholes who only wants their fame for ONLY singing but can't really do any shit of writing their own songs.
And that brings us to Rockstar: Supernova. Its way better than any Idol shows, singing competition etc. Showcasing talented musicians who can not only sing, but also write their own lyrics and even songwrite. Which I must say, a giant leap from that "ONLY sing" criteria that we Singaporeans failed to see and open up. So, thumbs up for Rockstar: Supernova, a big thumbs down to Singapore Idol.
Yet again, Singaporeans are just plain typical. I'm not saying its totally wrong but if you're really into the music industry than there's more to just singing. Coz if you can't really compose your own songs don't expect to survive the industry for a very long time. And in case you've ever noticed, the fans in Singapore simply love "fastfood". They tend to get bored on artist and fell in love with new ones so easily. =P
So my dad questioned my reliability of becoming a musician(if I've the opportunity) one day. And if I were to say that I've nothing to worry about and that it would be a major success, it would be a very tall order. There's so much for me to learn, I'm not even up there yet. =(
But in such a case I end up failing, there's always the contingency plans:
1) Set up a roti prata business with Darren. And one day it might end up getting alot of recommendations from not only newspapers, but magazines and novels too. AHAHA.
2)Carry out my late uncle's legacy by running a food stall. Maybe, Mahkota Cafe?!
3)Be a counsellor since I love relating to others.
4) OR, set up an adoption pet shop since I love pets!
Whatever it is, I've decided my future even when I've not serve my NS just yet. Which is a good thing lah since I'll know what I really wanna do when I've entered the business world. Anyway, how come I'm not even doing any multimedia related jobs when I'm currently studying it?!
Wassallam.
