i noe i've been saying that i'll save my comments about the concert till after the meeting.... but i feel strongly compelled to write about it now....
as to where this drive come from? hahaz.... recently a "girl"'s comments has caused quite a stir in my community... quite a number of blogs have shown great protest against the way she presented her opinions... so i'm here to add on to the numbers XD
i've held back my comments till now cause i wanted to be fair to her as well, and waited until i can get my hands on the recording of the nite she went.... though its interesting to see that now she has edited the comments she initially wrote... so i can no longer clearly verify if what i remember she wrote is INDEED what she meant....
anyways... i can she where she's coming from... feeling the concert is a little boring... its not the typical kind of show pop-culture chasing.... individuals would like to go...
Pieces were weird (which they claimed that some were supposed to sound weird)
I only love ONE song, and that was the encore song. I think..that was the only song sang with more passion and though it clashed a little at parts, the notes clashed more beautifully than that weird song
it would have been okay if she just stopped at "pieces were weird" nobody would fault her if she didn't like the song selection... but the (which they claimed that some were supposed to sound weird) part hahaz... that's inviting trouble.... being a person of well-versed in literature herself, she shld understand that writing sumthing like that would encompass other meanings... if she was some ah-lian, i believe the masses would be more forgiving.... ;)
anyways... the complete comments clearly show how little she understands the pieces of the time.. the pieces dun sound weird, and i've heard the recordings... we dun sound weird... :) i think prove of that is further shown on what she said later on on the same paragraph... the encore song "Gaudete" was the only song that we sang that nite that had chordial progressions similar to those heard in mainstream music...
But! I really don't know how they make it as a choir. Almost 60% of the people standing onstage sang without opening their mouth wide.
The basic technique to sing should be, to OPEN your mouth wide..right?How does the sound come out if you don't?
And a few of them could even keep their mouth shape the same throughout, even when it came to the climax parts. -___-". It seemed that only the guest performers and the NY batch of people were the only ones conscious about the fact that they have to OPEN their mouth to sing.. *sigh*
-.-''' ok... now she's playing singing expert now... i've yet to see a video of the nite's concert... so maybe she's right about the mouths... but saying people cannot make it based on that is a little.. far-fetched... sry to break it to you lady... but not everybody is the same.... you may need to open your mouth wide open just to get some decent sounding notes, but that may not be the case for everybody.... i can get great sounds and hit high "A"s and "B"s with my mouth half open mind you...

this one's from a more recent post of her's
Besides, it wasn't meant to insult or create any bad feelings.Respecting other people's perspectives is something that someone has obviously gotta learn how to deal with.
It was just some heartfelt thoughts that someone had to take it another way, and seemed to have taken offence to the things I've said. So be it then. It's so pointless to feel hurt and misunderstood once again
oka i had to go read her other blog entries -.- i do respect her opinion... at least i try to.. but when someone contradicts themselve so much its a little hard to give them due respect... on one post she is clearly hitting people with everything she can find... on the other she says its not meant to insult or create bad feelings -.-''' she must eithier have one of the lowest EQs around or sumthing... anyways you be the judge XD
