The annual NKF show seems to highlight the fact that SG artist
sorely lacks the singing, acting talents. I am not talking abt the
professional ones like Sun Yanzi, Tanya Chua, A Du etc, but
basically, most of Media corp A lister--- Zoe tay, Sharon Au, Chew
chor meng, Chris Lee & even Fann wong
cant sing for nuts.
(I know I gonna get tons of flamming for this
)

In HK, beside the singers ( Jacky cheung, Andy lau etc), many of
TVB leading artist are also credible singer--- Gallen Lo, Flora
Chan for eg.
Most of the charity gigs in HK & Taiwan are mainly songs &
entertainment--- in Taiwan, the performing artists usually belong
to the same recording company ( eg Rocks) & in HK, the big time
shows are usually organized by TVB.
Even if majority of the local artist lacks the strong vocals,
heres jus a suggestion: they could adopt the style of Taiwans
Variety Big Bro ( Zong Yi Da Ge Da) where the performing artist
each week showcase their own unique talents--- usually its being
able to perform multiple musical instruments or some Opera, comedy,
spoof of famous ppl etc.
And given that they only have to perform annually, with more time
& bigger budget, media corp could have come up with more
interesting performances.
The sharon au segment for example, with all her moaning &
groaning, I personally felt it was both unnecessary &
overdone.
I mean, jus how far can they go with such stunts? Having to more or
less outperform the previous show
are we going to see sharon au
swallowing swords or Fann wong doing some Fear Factor stunts next
yr

I usually watch the one with foreign singers performing, but the
local artist one is usually really too long, too boring
hearing a
radio hit sung live by Emil Chau or Andy Lau sure beats watching
some local artist torturing themselves
sweating, crying & then
making the Pls call sign..
Anyway, my honest feelings--- the intention is noble &
laudable; but the approach is simply silly &
overdone.
