Quarter Finals 3B Results
September says: Its becoming boring. Good ones sent home while the not-so-good ones are able to advance to the next round. Is this competition about fame and popularityor about real singing potentials? Has the standard of such competition [which requires voting] drop? Are we choosing for the best singer or most popular singer? Sianz... 感到很无奈...
[-h2o-] says: Everyone judges things differently, what you seem best may not be the same as another person. The best singer can sing very well, but without popularity no company will risk to invest. The most popular singer may not be the best singer, but he is well-liked by many, then he wins confidence of investors. Idol boy bands can't sing, but why thousands and millions of people go crazy for them?
It was votings which kept some of those contestants with lower singing abilities in, aren't those votings from viewers and supporters? I'm sure they know how to judge good singing and bad singing, but this competition is more than singing. Its a fact... nothing we can do except voting your favourite...
M1 Junjie & F1 Elaine

Quarter Finals 3B [09/07]
[-h2o-]You were very steady when singing the group song, similarly when you sang solo. On stage, you were like a big sister or old time diva - looked experienced and firm. The choice of song tonight, was doubted. Your singing was nice, but it lack the factor to touch. Your rendition didn't have the surposed emotions and feel of the original song. You didn't control the low keys [mostly at the earlier part of song] well, the 抖音 and 拉音 were drifting unsteadily. Overall, you were fine, up to the standards.
September
[Group] Do take note of the way you walk. After you sang, you walked back using the same hand and same leg.
[Solo]: Can hear that you are trembling when you sang those long notes. Your breathing was too hard and we can hear it from there. There was a little climax to the chorus, but can be more. Do learn to look confidently.
[-h2o-]You looked sweet with all the smiles. You sounded nice and sweet for both group and solo song. I was asking myself "Were you singing?" I believe it was one of your better performances so far. You chose the right song and gave it the Agnes treatment. You really sounded extra attractive tonight. And you were lively on stage. A small point to note about your low keys, they still sound abit weak. Good Job! Good luck!
September
[Group] You were breathless. You should continuously sing that one sentence with one breath but you broke between the words in a line. I find that this song was not quite suitable for you especially the 低音 part.
[-h2o-]You sounded unstable during both group and solo song. You made a mistake during group song, you turned away from camera and looked disappointed. During your solo, you sounded like 不够气. Your 拉音 sounded rough, as if your voice 'trip' over stone. You were constantly offbeat too. The good thing is, the attitude and feel of the song were present in your rendition. Overall, it was still a viewable and acceptable performance. Good luck~
September
[Group] Articulation of words!!
[Solo] Like elaine, you trembled at those long notes. At the chorus, you couldnt sing it well as you forced too much to your throat. Therefore, causing you to lose the control of your voice at the later part. You voice has some kind of rock element which is suitable for such songs like 逃亡.
[-h2o-]You sounded totally different [except for your husky tone] from previous weeks, right from the start you sang your solo. It was great! You found yourself finally. Boy, you didn't disappoint those who voted for you. Your husky voice was at its best in this song. I was abit touched by your singing. It was nice and well sang. However, you need to watch your enunciation problem, because you mumbled alot. You also need to tackle your vocal range limitation by choosing a suitable song for next round, be it semi-finals or revival. Good luck!
September
[Solo] This song suits you(or just safe for you). However, you are not fang4 enough. You get distracted and you couldnt bring out the feelings of the song. A slight improvement from your previous performance.
[-h2o-]No irritating/problematic pitch this week! Your singing improved, you avoided your mistakes and made your singing acceptable. I could see your effort to improve and perform better. The mtv dance steps you danced were some of the evidence of your effort. The song is difficult because of the limited breathing pause, but you managed it well. You were as cute and funny on stage. Your facial expression looked funny to me. And you walked funny too, purposely? You made it all looked right again~ Some point to note, you didn't bring out the surposed attitude of the song and hope you continue to choose songs wisely. Good job! Good luck~
September
[Group] I'm sorry to say, but during the rapping part, you sounded like some robot.
[Solo] There wasnt any groove to the song. After your previous performance, you should reflect on the mistakes you have made and avoid them. But you didnt. I didnt see any improvement. You made use of the stage (which is good). Go home and watch the replay again. You will see yourself walking in a circle again and again. Try to maximise the stage area that is give to you.You had some actions for your song. But your actions remind me of William Hung. One piece of advice- If you want to add actions, please do it well and complete. Put your 100% into it or forget it.
[-h2o-]
There's no doubt about your singing ability. Your singing was almost perfect, except for minor tempo and pitch problems. The emotions were correct. However you have to note your enunciation problems. Another thing is about your stage gestures, you looked abit over as usual, but thats you~ Guess you're nervous, which often made you over-react... Try to relax and get better control of yourself. It will help you with popularity. Keep up the good job. Hope to see you improve in the next round.
September
[Solo] Good eye contact, confident. Your 音飘 alot especially when you had more actions. Take note next time. Your overall performance was good. And Im happy to see that you ended your song creatively, in your own style. Jia You.
