Campus Superstar Grandfinals
Performance Reviews:
Benjamin-西界(林俊杰)
It was quite good!!!!~ But I thought one part, the falsetto that part...a bit out leh...
But still, his voice vry GD! Vry gentle yet ragged...COOL would give him 8.
-3-7-20-1(曹格)
It was by far one of the best! He sang it vry well, as he did with Cao Ge's Superman...he seems to take Fukuan's place as the young imitation of Cao Ge but of course, Ben has his own style, something like a cross between JJ Lin and Cao Ge. IT WAS THE BEST!Quite energetic you know, after all, he got 40!!!!!!! Even if he did not win, he would be very proud@!!!!!
If he could perform in the second round as the Male Champion, I would have wanted him 2 sing Cao Ge's Ni Shi Wo De Bao Bei...that song ROCKS!!!! would have given him 9.
Shawn-西界(林俊杰)
Quite powerful as Shawn's voice always is but as always, Shawn's falsetto parts are not vry gd but still, keep it up!BUT ONE VERY BAD THING: He forgot LYRICS!!!!one of the worse mistakes anybody could have made...probably 2 nervous bah...would have given him 7.5
- 终结孤单 (五月天)
Ok, this was not very good, as some of the lyrics had to be say in one breath and there were many words and his jie zhou gan is not good...so...a bit disappointed...
When he was dancing, HE WAS COUNTING so obviously that I could see it! Not good at all!!
would have given him 6.75.
-今天你要嫁给我 陶喆/蔡依林
It was more of a big sister and small brother rendition, not really like love song that kind you know?
And one of the judges(was it Roy Lee?) said that Theresa put her hand over Shawn's when they held hands(and I didn't notice it until he said it) and it was true you know...and the vocals were nothing special honestly....would have given him 7.25 onli......

世界唯一的你 (曹格)
This, was not bad for Shawn as you know, he is young and does not have so many experiences so he cannot bring out the feelings of this song that much but he was okay, considering his age(which is a disadvantage AND in a way, and ADVANTAGE) as the one of the judge said. Many gave him bad comments for one of his songs(forgot which one, I think the dance song) and the last judge said," Give him a break, he's only 13!"not bad for Shawn...would have given him 7.75.
Keely: 我们的纪念日(范玮琪)
I like this song alot personally but that was the first time I was hearing it so I'm not vry accurate with this one. So far, Keely was ok with this song but it's true, when she lifted her head up and look down , she looked a little fierce....(one of the judges said that)...would have given her 7.5
-MR Q(蔡依林)
Ok, as you guys know, Keely is not very good at dancing so I didn't expect anything that good from her. She did very funny actions honestly and watching her "dance"was weird and frankly, she did keep looking at the floor, I think she was thinking and concentrating too much on her dance steps that she was not enjoying herself and she was a bit tense.....would have given her 7.25.
-梁山伯与茱丽叶 (卓文萱/曹格)
Keely was a bit distant from Zhiyang(don't worry, Zhiyang, you're just as charming as ever, just that Keely is taken already...haha) and at one part, she sang the wrong part but she was quite good, recovering very fast and Zhiyang was not fazed at all!(good work, Zhiyang!)But at one part when Zhiyang spun Keely into his arms at the end, his arm hit Keely's head so...a bit funny that part....would have given her 7.5.

人质(
张惠妹)
Keely sang one of this singer's songs the other day(judges' pick) which was Ping Chang Xin and she did quite well(could have been an improvement)and at least it could interest me but for this song, Keely did sound quite tired(because she already sang three songs before that and did a dance so it is natural) but it did not interest me at all! There was nothing in the song and I did even know that song but I could tell that it was a disappointing performance but I hope she enjoyed herself(though from the lightning of the satge, she looked quite pale)...would have given her 7.
Zhengning-我们的纪念日(范玮琪)
This was quite good, considering Zhengning's limited abilities to sing and she really tried and improved I could tell...and she did not look as "hao lian" as last time(that's what my friends said, she very "hao lian" but I don't really think so actually). Of course, Keely's was a little better than hers but you can't really blame her because of her not as good as Keely's vocals.Keep up the good work, Zhengning, we're all proud of you!would have given her 7.45.
-唯舞独尊(蔡依林)
This was better than Keely's dance song at any rate. The dancing was very good and she looked very confident on stage and radiant too! The singing of course, was not as spectacular but you just felt like dancing along with her to the beat. GOOD JOB! would have given her 8.25.
Honestly, I think Keely and Zhengning were quite equally paired as there was the dancing part and Keely only did slightly better, while the dancing made up the idfference and I felt Zhengning did better than her overall but of course, this is a singing competition, not a dancing one so I think Keely won her by a bit because she has more "ren qi" but her voice is quite special.Don't worry, Zhengning, I'm sure Marcus supported you!And Keely, Javin was very happy that you were the female champion CSS2 2007!
Benjamin and Shawn were not as well-balanced because I personally think that Benjamin would have been slightly better because he is older and has more life experiences and will be able to bring out the "gan qing" more and his voice is overall good and will be able to tackle all the gendres of music while Shawn's alone is just powerful and not as unique as Ben's but he made up in "ren qi" I suppose. JY to all of them, sure I will be seeing many of them as singers in the future....not gonna mention any names sorry!
Finally finished the performance reviews!
See ya!
