yays! SF1 today. i was seriously looking forward to it. and to say the least, quite a few bands fell short of my expectations.
B1 Screamm (孙悟空): they probably chose a wrong song, cause the vocalist can't bring out the feel of the song. in fact, i think lucify did a much better rendition of the song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXURdH-gMxsB2 森林帖 (温柔): yay! as usual they did really well. i liked the vocalists voice. XD jys
B3 三月(爱情万岁): the vocalist seriously has pretty strong vocals for a female. but pity her range is not all that wide, if not would have been much better. but i suppose that would also be a "special" point to her bahh..
B4 CStar (天使): rawr... they totally ruined the song. and to think that song was one of my favourite 五月天 songs. they can't sing for nuts and their 合音 suck big time. thank goodness they were eliminated. i didn't think i would be able to stand another such performance, especially not when it's already SF.
B5 异世界(离开地球表面): haha.. i'm seriously biased, so i shall leave a paragraph specially for ethe'Real. ^_^
B6 伍个人(倔强): i didn't expected such a performance from them anw. it was kinda messy, true that everybody were on different tempos. i wonder is it cause they very nervous cause they just came back from revival. but luckily they didn't kena kicked out. as usual, the violinist is impressive.
B7 大风吹 (听不到): they were ok i suppose. i liked the vocalist's performance, but maybe they shouldn't have the guitarists and bassist all doing the 合音. i suppose it gets kinda messy and not as nice as it should have.
B8 兔子(终结孤单): i just have one thing to comment. the drummer maybe pro to be able to sing and hit the drums at the same time, but take note that the tempo wasn't all that complicated anw. i bet Nao or Kai can do it too and at a much higher level drumming. and they seriously should stop singing with such heavy 鼻音. it gets uncomfortable on the ears.
okies. end of general comments for the bands. now for the special: Ethe'Real!!!
YESSU!!! they got through again, which means jap songs, hopefully, next round. *cheers*
haha.. all of them so eyecatching. the first thing i saw as a band was...cowboy/wild west look.. lols. and then individually was definitely Kenn. ^^ haha.. first impression was "Woah!! he's not wearing a cap". then next came "the hell??!! he looks so much like Hiroto, just a taller version (ooppss sry hiroto, but you are quite short for a guy). and that means like chio-ness(better pray kei don't strangle me for saying he's chio)." then throughout the performance i was like how the hell did i never realise that kei actually has features that are similar to Hiroto. the front view was already quite like Hiroto, but the side view was like seeing Hiroto O_O. ok.. i suppose that's enough talking about Hiroto-likeness.
but kunio screwed up big time la. i probably wouldn't have been able to make out quite a number of words if i hadn't heard the song before. haha and no offense but kunio should seriously buck up on his chinese. the front part sounded kinda awkward, like some non-chinese person talking. but today's 合声 wasn't exactly all that good. it wasn't that obvious, like couldn't really hear uncle sam. but kei's was nice though. when i heard his part was like "ehh??? uncle sings high notes meh??" then i saw the mic at kei's side then was "ohh... so it was kei.. haha anw very nice".
yuppss so just hope Ethe'Real can do much better the next round, which is FOREIGN LANG!!! YAY!! ohh oppps... i realised i didn't comment on jun and nuh at all... :P.. not my fault, i was too busy deciphering kunio's singing and looking at how much kenn looks like hiroto.
ok.. now for the Hiroto look-alike comparison. okk..maybe not the best pictures to be used for comparison, but those who follows alice nine. should get what i mean.
