Superband (6th round)

YaY! monday again! why am i soooo excited? because... 夏日风 gonna sing 夜曲!!! will they be heeding the judges' advice, or will they be insisting on their very own 'style'? omg! aren't you excited?! anyway, thats not the main reason. i am very interested how some bands will flop when the restriction of song choices kicks in. i really wonder how will the judges react to them too. i have 0 confidence in the judges, was in the past, and now still is. so, i will be giving my very own scoring as usual after the show ended. and also, the prediction of the night. thankfully, judges' % is down to 30% again and their scoring will be REVEALED again. no more underhand stuff until the final 4. i can forsee 夏日风 to be surviving until the last few groups where they will be eliminated when singing records are taken into consideration. the organisers are just bloodsuckers, feeding on the money of the poor souls who voted so faithfully every week. it should be time those people wake up their mind. a couple of calls doesn't hurts, but i don't think this is the case for those hardcore fans. i shan't comment on their sanity, as they are the poor victims of a devious ploy. anyway, i am not expecting any good performances other than from BRODS, J3, SOUL, Juz-B and 迷路兵. 迷路兵 is quite worrying too. they are going to sing 不想长大 by S.H.E. singing a female song doesn't sounds good, not for anyone. hopefully their wits and humours can provide us with yet another entertaining performance. lets rock on! *anyway, from the comments of the judges, the contestants were given a list of songs to choose from. that explains why they commented on their choice of songs*

B1 BRODS
天高地厚
原唱者： 信乐团

there isn't anything much i could comment on their performances today. it wasn't really exciting and was kinda boring imo. but still, their voices are good, maybe not the best tonight. they took up the challenge of singing a song by 信乐团 and you have to give them credits for the completion of the challenge. i agreed with the judge's comment in regards to the wrong choice of song. there isn't much room for them to give an out-of-the-world performance in this song. but hey, they did performed well tonight. there's no denying huh?

8/10

B2 馒头
Mama Mama
原唱者：张韶涵

was worried right from the start. after listening to their performance, its like a nightmare came true. i wasn't saying how bad it was, but an indication that my worries came true. the singing was ok, as there weren't much variation available. to be crude, it was boring listening to the song. a song to avoid at all cost i must say. the music isn't very good too. was a very average performance. i wouldn't want my campmate to be in the relegation fight... but it seems like its gonna happen tonight.

6.5/10

B3 Lucify
祥龙十八掌
原唱者：沈祥龙

lead singer was a disaster. whats with the imitation of Jay Chou? for god sake, this is a song by sylvester, not Jay. not many could argue with the fact that Lucify's lead singer is a very average singer, and maybe a little worse. he does not have a style to start with and with his jay-wannabe singing tonight, one could confirm it. he doesn't have the talent for muffled singing and it doesn't help when his singing was so bad tonight. when there was a problem with the subtitle at the end, my mum and i couldn't make out what he was singing at all. my mum even regretted predicting Lucify to be the winner of the survival round. as bad as the singing was, we should give credits to those who made the music so good. but still, i would rather buy a karaoke version of their album if they do make it to the final. my friend could do better than the lead singer. sucks to be him i thought.

7/10

B4 J3
心中的日月
原唱者： 王力宏

nice effort in making their own version of 心中的日月. wasn't a major change, but still, a little surprise goes a long way. there were a few surprises if you noticed. it was refreshing to see the keyboard player sing as well. it has been very long since i heard him sang. this added to their unity. and of course, the more obvious surprise is the addition of the opera singing and a few climax that were added by themselves. all of them did well, but they could use more surprises and set-up.

8.5/10

B5 SOUL
Easy Come Easy Go
原唱者： 5566

superb performance. their outfits were very cool! you could almost sense the vampiric aura even from the seats in front of the TV. coupled with a great dance, they were very well the most entertaining band so far tonight. but... the singing is weak imo. wasn't sure if its the result of lack of practices, but i sure thought they could be better if more efforts were put into the singing part. very well done. gotta love the vampys!

9.5/10

B6 夏日风
夜曲
原唱者：周杰伦

surprise, surprise, surprise. talking about surprises, this is the biggest surprise tonight. 夏日风 actually did quite a good job tonight. they seemed to have taken into consideration the judges' advices. they did a not too shabby job in distributing the singings and dance moves among the band members. Lidan's dancing was great, but it really doesn't fit into the song itself. the song did not talk about anything related to hip-hop and robots right? maybe they could use some logic in this case. their singing were terrible still, but they minimised the damages done by reducing the amount they sang. a good job nonetheless. they had the best improvement imo. that doesn't mean they were the best though.

6/10

B7 Juz-B
童话
原唱者：光良

Juz-B gave us an ordinary performance tonight imo. a little messy in the midst of the song. but still, it was one of the better performance of the night. they did surprised me with the few surprises in between. i believe they should go for songs that contain more power, before it gets boring.

8.5/10

B8 使诺鼻
放手一搏
原唱者：5566

gosh! what the hell were their fans thinking? a screwed up rap coupled with a singing worse than 夏日风. these were the things that turned them on so much. 王仁甫 would be cursing and swearing while 孙协志 would be in a dilemma considering whether to reform 5566 after listening to the performance. yea, 使诺鼻 put 5566 to shame. not in a positive way, but a negative one though. even 陈伟联 wasn't as blind as those fans were! finally, everyone got to hear LAU TAK HUA sing once again. how was it? for one thing, i am as sure as hell that 夏日风 did better. did you regret changing channel while 夏日风 was performing? get what i mean?

5/10

B9 迷路兵
不想长大
原唱者：S.H.E

they came onto the stage with a fresh look. kiddy looks too. it wasn't at all difficult to link their images with the song they were going to sing. after listening to their performance, i realised that my worries were for nothing. they proved themselves worthy of being the highest scorer twice in a row. with their humour and ever-changing set-up, it isn't a surprise anymore to see them outscoring any other bands. they knew what the audiences were looking for and they put the point into action. if i were to pick on them... i would suggest the lead singer to take up lessons on the placement of his microphone. lOl! he never seem to fail to misplace his microphone. it really gives me a hard time listening to him, lOl!

9.7/10

B10 AMBER
神奇
原唱者：孙燕姿

LOL! if i were visually handicapped, i might mistook them for 夏日风! what a way to end the show! a total disaster. a very dreadful one. everything was in chaos. everyone was intervening into the song in any ways they liked. its either they started too fast or got into the song too slow. top 10? omg! you gotta be kidding me! its as if i was watching the BIG JAM man! horrible music, horrible singing, everything can be explained with their poor preparation and lack of practices. they were lousy anyway. LOL!

4/10

what a disappointing week. the only consolation was that 迷路兵 still did as well, 夏日风 with their great improvement. the restriction of song choices seems to affect them badly. imo, 迷路兵 should just be crowned the champion, with Soul being the runner-up. every other bands looked as if they were caught off-guard. i really shouldn't put too much hope in getting much entertainment from this show anymore. it might be more interesting when its down to 5 bands. but its still a long way to go. thanks for bringing back Lucify, i believed Jade could do a job 100X better than them. its quite obvious that 馒头 will be eliminated today... but from the looks of it, they seemed to have quite alot of votes previously. judging from the score they got tonight, their fans might be voting more furiously tonight. if thats the case... i pray for the exit of Amber. it would suck badly if Brods were to get the boot.

Final Prediction : 馒头
