And you do it like this!
RE:
do u all remember when u were a kid. wadever u do. seems to happen again..but dis time ur not the one as the kid looking but as the ppl doing the thing u saw as a child did. just to tink of it. i remember myself as a kid. during weddings..i would be playing in the morning den..afternoon. i'll be sitting at the band watching the band boys play. years back..like a decade ago. and its seems like a cycle. now..im the person playing..or socalled the band boys. and kids..like me last time...would sit around and observe. its kinda cool though. den while playing..a lil bit of showing off and stuff..hahakz. but now i know why i always get scolded for playing near the band area. coz its fragile. as a kid..i find it amusing...but now in the band boy's shoes..its veri2 much irritating...hahakz..
there has always been debates bout which is better. a live band or karoake at a wedding. lets weight the pros and cons aite!
karoake- firstly..for karoake...the music is perfect. and ppl get entertain by the dj. and many say the best part is everibodi can sing. and karaoke can play ani song. on the other hand lak. karoake is fixed. so lets say..while ur singing and u got lost. the music plays on. and the music in karoake are pitch perfect. which means..they are fixed to the song's original key. so perhaps u cannot sing in A major...u have too...u got no choice. and also the atmosphere is not there also. for a karoake..u would onli see the 2 singers in front, the tv and the equipment behind them.
a live band - for a live band. most of the time the music is perfect. not humans are not perfect wad. there will be glitches. but is u have good equipment and good musicians...den no problem. also..watching these glitches and how the players recover from them is also another form of entertainment. maybe stuff dat can be laugh at or be joke of the day. unlike karaoke where u onli watch the 2 singers. for a live band there is no fixed key. for example if the song is in A major...u can change it to fit ur voice. also the beauty of a live band is how u can improvise a song. to make it sound better. in a live band u can create medleys of songs..and or course..
u can change the speed to suit the 'magic' happening at the moment. even though there is a possibility dat certain songs a live band can't play..but there is also a posibility dat the karoake dun have a song in their collection. but the most entertaining i would say is how band boys cover up for their mistakes. being in this line for almost 6 years. i had heard and saw many stuff. hahakz. they can be funny and they can be stupid at times. but usually...when u got bandmates ard. ppl tend to cover up for ya and stuff. and also..sometimes..when players include their personal touch in a song...is just changes the whole songs..and makes it even better. dats the beauty of a live band..
so my stand is a live band is better den karaoke. it may be subjective u say...but feel free to include ur thoughs...like ppl say...music is universal...its not hu or wat it is...its how u play it...and convey ur message to the audience...man music is so cool...
okie..life update...tml got rugby camp...dunno wad to expect...but hoping..by hook or by crook to get access to computer. dunno how the match-up will go. we onli got enuff ppl. one injury and problem sia. tsk..samo we just just started our 15s training. everithing is hectic. so i doubt we can win the match. maybe we can out a fight but the chances of winning is slim. but all i know is..im going to whack ass man!..for my brothers..for my school...and have fu lar ofcourse..guaranteed more scratches on the legs nye..
