this has been in my mind for a long time.. so here goes..

well, through a "battle" of an any idol contest, it often emerges with a winner. an idol. it's common knowledge that it's someone people idolize. it seems to be that the contest is a prestigous one, as when you win, you are the no. 1 in the country! for the idol himself/herself, they will be filled with lots of prestige. after all, they've just become the one that hundreds and thousands idolize!

What is prestige?
1. The level of respect at which one is regarded by others; standing.
2. A person's high standing among others; honor or esteem.
3. Widely recognized prominence, distinction, or importance

however, with all these so-called idol contests going on, the prestige has somehow greatly diminished. i mean, first, you have singapore idol, followed by the jue dui superstar, and there's a suria idol one too. these are pretty okay, cause one is the english idol, the another the chinese idol and the other for the malays. it's fair for all. BUT now, you have campus superstar competition popping out! superhost?!? ming xing ou xiang? and superband?!? and next year, there'll be another round of singapore idol?

is our small puny island filled of so many talents? is our nation really that talented? are we in need of so many idols? in no time at all, our island will be over-populated with idols.

hmmm, i wanna pinpoint something about the jue dui superstar. what's with the superfunky show? promoting all the top 10 contestants by hosting a show.. 10 people as hosts? haha, when i caught a few long seconds at the show, i thought to myself, "you've got to be kidding?" i mean, when you have a single guest or perhaps two, you have like OVERCROWDING ALERT! lol, it seems like the 10 hosts are the GUESTS! haha. do we need so many people in the media industry? are we over-grooming? hmmm, then what's the point of narrowing down to one winner in the first place? it looks to me that all of them are winners, cause they all gained from this show. does this mean that once the campus superstar is over, 10 more hosts for variety shows will pop out? lol, or maybe even twenty?
and the superband.. it's pretty dumb. cause those who didn't make it through any of the above mentioned idol contests (in less kinder words, REJECTS), they can get their drummer/guitarist/keyboard-ist friends to join again? they will deluded that they will have other chance! another thing is that, why do you need a superband? you alr have live bands whereby the other groomed idols can play with? do you want to discover great guitarists/drummers/keyboard-ists? do we need the talents?

all in all, there's too many contests! do we need to search for that many idols? do singaporeans lack idols? are our idols REAL idols? (as in are they that good? or maybe the pool of talents in singapore is just too small, it's easy to top the rest!)
note that there are exceptions.. haha, there are few talents here and there.. lol, just like xinli mentioned! haha, samuel's good! :P
