~~ Project Superstar Grand Finals!! ~~

Yes!!! Kelly got in!!! OMG!!!
I am really happy for her....I mean I do feel for the other contestant Sinhui...but its a popularity contest after all. If this is your everyday karaoke contest...I have no doubt who the winner will be...but like what the hosts always claims...your every votes counts. Alot of people fail to realise that fact...i shall talk about that later.

As announced earlier, Kelly will be pitting herself against Weilian, a guy who came through the competition shrouded by no lesser controversies himself.

Let me talk about Kelly first...her performance hasn't been impressive lately...though her consistency still remains....I mean she has always put up above average performances since the first round...impressing many including me. Of course the fact that she is more pleasant looking does help to a certain extent. I am just trying to say she deserves her place in the final despite having lower score for the night...her rapport with the public was built up not only in one or two nights...rather since day one when the competition started...she had her fair share of supporters already.

However, the beaten finalist Sinhui does deserve our applause as well. I am sure I have never seen a more gracious loser than her....her performances were excellent...her improvements significant. I would have no problem with her in the final as well. I would have just admitted that Kelly were just inferior on the night...and the votes...where its of upmost importance...were lacking. This is a fact I think alot of people fail to digest...She is not out because she is not pretty enough...neither is it because she does not sing well enough...and definitely not because of her NATIONALITY. The only reason IS.....she did not garner enough votes to make it! I mean is this fact really so hard to swallow? I really do not understand. Do your own simple calculations and you will realise that the points advantage Sinhui had over Kelly amounted to just 1% of the final result...and that...I guess is just a matter of less than a hundred votes.

The same goes for the male contestants as well. Everyone is saying how they could let a blind guy eliminate someone like Junyang who is pleasant looking and can sing very very well. Junyang's a hot favourite that I will agree. But again they failed to realise that the THEY that they are accusing now is themselves. Vote more and get him in...as simple as that. It does not help when he gets thousands of people adknowledging his talents BUT do not vote. And it certainly does his image no good if his fans come out and cry foul.

Come on! What blind guy are we talking about? He has a name and he made his name known to many through his hard work all this while. When I say hard work, I mean its the extra effort put in to do what the visually abled are doing. He didn't have his vision to interact with the audience....he even struggled to orientate himself on the stage just so that he could at least reach out to audiences from different directions. He didn't have the luxury of having singing classes to build up his foundation. He deserves to be there...be it through votes casted in appreciation of his talents or due to sympathy. Seriously, if he does not have the talent to begin with, no amount of sympathy will help. Those still in reluctance of accepting the truth...be REALLY ashamed of yourself.

Like it or not, Weilian will be on stage in Indoor Stadium come September 1st. All because his fans worked hard at voting for him while Junyang's fans simply failed to. Nah!

Sometimes the simplest of facts can be so difficult to get across...it baffles me seriously. Whatever the case is...I am soooo looking forward to the grand finals....woohoo~
