KOS Starz - View from the Jury's Seat

Although I was just sitting with other judges observing their performances, it was indescribably tiring.

Here are some general comments about the event:

1. Bringing lyrics in singing competition is highly not recommended. That shows you are not really prepared for your performance. Worse, you bring lyrics but you still forget the lyrics. Duh~
2. No discussion or talking with other members in the group during performance. That would deduct the mark as it shows your performance is not well planned.
3. If you cannot sing, that means you cannot sing. Don't humiliate yourselves in front of the people with your bad singing. Ok, I mean really bad singing. Enough said.
4. Know your limit. Not all people have the pitch as high as Shah from Inteam. So if you cannot reach his pitch, pick other song.
   
5. No jeans in nasyid competition people. A big NO.
6. Making jokes during your performance might help, or might not help. But I see in most of the time especially for nasyid competition in which they sing songs that praise the God and the Prophet for example, it is not necessary. Save that for other time. Be professional.
7. Do not interpret your nervousness into something that is annoying. Just behave and sing naturally. Look at the audience in front of you. Jangan pandang bawah je dik oi!
   

Some interesting facts about KOS Starz last night:

1. Most of the songs that they sang were familiar to my ears especially Inteam's songs. That helped a lot for me to enjoy their performance besides the fact that most of them couldn't carry the songs well.
2. The acting by the SCIENCESS Exco members was worth a standing ovation but not just yet when they said to be continued. Alaaaa.... Potong a~! Dah best kot!
3. MC, dia. First performance, dia gak. Second performance, dia lagi.
   
4. I got a souvenir. Hehe... Interesting, for me at least. :P
