The Return
Finally......I've regained my confidence in blogging......the whole short journey was worth experiencing......I guess all the dudes and dudets are oblivious to the circumstances i'm been facing......but for now, it's FOR REAL. The force to be reckoned with is me. I am the Force. You are the Jedi. I shit in my pants. You urine on my ass. That makes no bloody sense. Least to talk much about Thirteen Senses. People's ideal of a awesome rock band might have happened some donkey years ago. It's U2. You got to believe it. What about Project Superstar? I mean what the heck? I see no clowns, strippers, asses, or out-of-pinch doubtfuls participating in the show. Perhaps you can give a thought about the doubtfuls. In my opinion, it's difficult to determine a good singer in the chinese music industry. But from my point of view, it's also the less competitive market to excel in, which means the chances are damn bloody high. Look at the established homegrown talents based on the chinese industry. They seem to excel to greater heights album after album. And take a turn and look at the talents based on the english industry. Only Electrico seem to be the only homegrown band doing well overseas. I believe Ronin will achieve what Electrico has in years to come. Upon listening to Good Charlotte's We Believe, I thought of a reason why rock bands seldom or never thought of performing in Singapore. From my perspective, it might be due to the lack of english music listeners, comparing to the chinese ones. That's why you don't see big guns like U2, Green Day, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand and upcoming bands like Yellowcard and My Chemical Romance. In MCR's case, my instincts tells me that they might make a trip here due to the fact that their album are soaring high in the album charts and are receiving radio airplays frequently. But there have been a slightly improvement due to bands like Slipknot, Good Charlotte and The Bravery making trips down for a concert. Let's just hope all three will receive overwhelming response and this will prompt them to come to Singapore again. As I say again, this time's FOR REAL............
