Project Superstar: Kelly Poon VS Kelvin Tan

Sorry folks! This topic has generated a lot of traffic from the search engine to my site, so must strike the iron while its hot.

Can I offer you an insight into the competitive but cruel world of entertainment?

For every Superstar that you see, there are probably hundreds waiting at the sideline for their chance. Everyday, record companies talent scout potential candidates. In a month, they may have signed 2 to 5 new singers. These new recruits are put through training and receive a miserable allowance from the record company.

When they are ready, they will get to record their album. After that (normally 3 to 6 months later), the company will decide if the market is ready for a new artiste. If the market condition does not permit, the new singer will be canned. For how long? We dont know. There are cases where new recruits wait out their 1 or 2 years contract without releasing a single album.

For Kelly and Kelvin, its a make or break situation because they are already in the limelight. Kelvin Tan is a better bet. He can be packaged as a hero who overcame the odds to achieve his goals. Who cares whether its sympathy votes or real appreciation for his talents? As long as his album sells, everyone (the record company) is happy.

Kelly will be slightly disadvantaged. I dont think her personality nor her voice is outstanding. She may be able to make it in Sillypore but overseas will be a big question mark. That is no use, because how many albums can u sell here?

Sad to say, its just boils down to dollars and cents for the company.

My best wishes to both contestants!
