True Music Appreciation

Was watching "Cross Talk (針鋒相對)" yesterday. The topic for the day is about Rain concert ticket selling at a price of SGD888. I only manage to catch the last 10 minutes of the show.. but the male guest speaker is enough to irritate me...

There is 2 main points he made... He says that just by "隨隨便便" singing and dancing on the stage Rain gets to earn that kind of money (btw i'm not a fan of Rain)... and how could they compare themselves with those 男高音... and went on to condemn the pop culture.. saying they don't last... and he insists that the pop pple don't put in as much hardwork as the rest... reason being, those in the classical side have to start training from young.. and he don't believe the pple from the pop will do such a thing... So in the 10 minutes he just condemn the pop culture and give the impression that its uncouth... and those that listen to classical are "better"

true as it seems, he irritates me and displays a character which i don't wish to comment... but he does remind me of myself in some sense...

like him... i sort-of condemn boy-band... actually i don't really condemn boy-band... just that i don't like pple to classify MD as a boyband... but does it make me more superior just because i'm supporting MD and not XXXX?? does it makes me more refine just because i appreciate rock band rather then some commercialise boy band?? No doubt... at a point in time i think that those pple that support boyband has no taste.. and i'm able to appreciate music more just because i support rock band?? all these are bullshit... whether its commercialise or not so long as a music you like personally why bother whether its commercialise or classical or watsoever? trying to act knowledgable or more superior just shows my stupidity....

but i do not agree that "pop" pple do not put in effort... yes they might not be trained from young.. but the effort they put in should also not be undermined... be it MD or XXXX... they all put in effort and hardwork to their job... so we should not overlook such a matter just because of other things... and yes.. in the past i always say XXXX can't sing and yucks to them.. but now i don't deny the hardwork they put in.. look at the shows they host... whether or not they are out to cheat the money of others all i can say is 一個願打一個願挨 what else can we say?

no.. i'm not about to change myself to a XXXX fan... just maybe i should be more receptive to everybody music.. just like when Chrisy put up the moon lyrics in her blog... listen to the music first before you know who is the singer.. then u will be able to put down your prejudice.. then you will be able to appreciate true music....
