The 'Sing A Poem' contest is turning out to be a farce - nothing but just another one of the numerous singing contests taking place all over Mainland China.
Only, it pretends to be more.
Sing a poem? Really?
The contestants are all singing as if they are taking part in contemporary singing contests.
As far as I am concerned, only Lamu was trying to sing a poem.
Yet, perversely - or was it predictably? - she got eliminated!
I have said it before, and I say it again, Langga Lamu should not waste her time and talent taking part in any more singing contests. It is sad and demoralising to see her losing out each time to others whose voices will soon be forgotten, anyway.
The taste these days is for the loud and brash - as long as you can rasp louder or croak better or rock more crazily than the others, you are fine - just stretch your voice hoarse and do daft things with it.
If you try to sing, you lose out.
Were Teresa Deng alive and she were herself to take part in today's singing dos, she would also not go far!
Lamu is not Teresa Deng even though she has a voice like her idol's. And we must thank the divine for that.
With the voice, talent and poise she has though, Langga Lamu should strike out on her own and carve a niche for herself. She can, of course, continue to sing her idol's songs and keep alive Teresa Deng's legacy.
But not waste her time and talent participating in any more singing contests.
