Project SuperStar = Richest Contestant wins .
Juz finished watching Project SuperStar 's results ....
for the 2nd week running ...Contestants who have done well during their performances ... Got axed .. while less deserving ones stayed in the race ...
This situation reminds me of what a certain friend Said ... about Rank , Power & Position . For that one person to climb to the throne .... There are thousands of others who got stepped and acted as a ladder for him/her to step upon . We Do Not Know how many persons were sacrificed .. Juz for that one person ..
Somehow ... Capabilities & talent may not be the ultimate factor in deciding whether U get to be the SuperStar .. or The Highest commanding OFFicer .
Just look @ Project SuperStar ... Contestants get kicked out , NOT BY the 5 judges ... but by the very INGENIOUS Money-Generating Idea of handphone voting . The audience are a sure source of increasing the station's viewership and also a very lucrative source of income .
You hear the comperes telling you that your favourite contestant gets butted out of the competition , NOT BY THEIR OWN SINGING CAPABILITIES , but by the number of votes that YOU send to support them .
In my personal Opinion , Project SuperStar becomes a very ridiculous competition in which talented singers and performers get kicked out juz because they can't generate enough votes .
You may tell me : Oh .. they get kicked out because they do not appeal to the crowds . So no one votes for them .
I tell You : Yeah My Arse . I think it is a clear cut case of an advantage to the contestants who can well afford to pay for thousands of $0.60 SmSes to buy votes. Juz prepare a certain amount of money every week , or simply gather all your classmates / friends to vote for you .. Offering to pay half their bills for the month .. or paying them whatever amount theY voted for you ..
NO limits from 1 particular Handphone number each week .. So where/ what is the value of EACH vote ? The only value is the revenue to the Service provider and the sponsors .
What For Work So hard ? What For Practise and Sing in front of the mirror ? What For practise your pitches? What For Stand on Stage and shit in your pants .. and let others dent your self-esteem .. WHEN OTHER CONTESTANTS Do not win by merit or virtue ... but thru the power of the $$ Cash $$
It is a case of " Who has THE RICHEST Parents WINS "

- I dun disagree with the $0.60 per vote . But what value is there in each vote when you get to vote unlimited times for a contestant ? Why Not Limit 1 vote per Handphone number ? I think it is a more accurate way of judging how popular each contestant is !
- They are NOT transparent in releasing the results/ Statistics of votes each week for Each Contestant !how the hell do people know theY are faring ?? Only Way to ensure their friend gets in , is to vote and vote and vote and vote and vote ... Need I carry on? vote and vote and vote lah !
To the poorer contestants , the SuperStar Dream will just be a dream or a journey .. while the richer contestants will find this path alittle too easy to walk ..
