i have long decided to give FAHRENHEIT FANTASY WORLD TOUR on the 19th of dec a miss but who knows, my mum treated me to watch it, and what added to the completely ecstatic mood of mine was that we were so lucky to be offered a better seat that was situated closer to the stage(basically the other block nearer to the centre).. to put it in a nicer manner, the reason was so as to make the whole stadium look more packed, since the ticket sales was apparently not that fantastic.. as in those fanatics would definitely buy the most expensive tickets to get the best seats, while the other fans like me, who are only students and couldnt afford the price will end up not going or merely be contented with the seats of the cheapest price.. so the seats that are of the middle pricing will be barely taken up.. thus those pple of the second category i just mentioned will be so lucky to help 'fill up' the seats there.. haha and ya i am one of the lucky ones.. =p
although the seats i was given still seemed quite far from the stage, it was a rather comfortable distance for me.. (: anw the main thing is I HAVE FULLY ENJOYED MYSELF AT THE CONCERT!!!!!! and that's enough for me to be down with 'fahrenheit-fever' again..
well, i understand that many pple especially those working in the media industry will often think that all the so called 'idol-type' bands have got only attractive looks that mesmerise teenage girls and drive them insane, but do not possess real talent or potential that can bring them far.. i admit this fact to a certain extent but i seriously think we should not be affected by these stereotypical evaluations so much so that all their hard work and efforts have to be written off before even being barely recognised..
FAHRENHEIT, for one, is also being said to stir yet another 'idol-fever' but will diminish once another boyband take over their leading position right now. take F4, 5566 and whoever else that nearly swept all tennage girls even guys off their feet as an example, are they still as attractive and popular nowadays? the answer is apparently not and thus fahrenheit faces the same 'crisis' and worrisome future.
but we often develop this kind of perception becos we tend to compare. no matter if its comparing them with other idol-type boybands, or comparing them with other more experienced singers or with those who are said-to have the real strength and potential.. i mean, its not that we couldnt compare, but we should look at all the different bands and singers as each seperate and unique individual. every one of them are catered to different groups of supporters, and they belong to different catergories. so if there were really a need to compare, the only thing we should compare would be themselves, yes, compare with themselves.
not that i am a fanatic of fahrenheit, (although i am crazy about dadong in particular), and i knew very clearly that they couldn't sing that well, (its evident), but at least i knew they have indeed worked very hard to come this far. one main reason is becos i have supported them since they entered showbiz. and they have grown, matured, and i have witnessed their improvement, in terms of live-singing, dancing, stage charisma, confidence level, communication skills and the ability to react to the media and the public. their improvement might not be tremendous, but comparing their performance now and in the past, that significant improvement is worth a rewarding applause.
and we couldnt dismiss the fact that they have achieved outstanding results throughout the yr, every one of them have their own drama serials, one even had the opportunity to have his first appearance on the silver screen, all were busy with their own work, and now they come together as a whole once again to bring out the best of themselves.
the future is unpredictable for them. but judging from their passion, determination and perseverance for their job, (insisting on performing and practising and trying hard to neglect the pain despite injuries) i believe there are still plenty of opportunities awaiting them to stretch their potential to the fullest.
all the best fahrenheit and of cos, my lovely ROCKER DONG!!!<333
you guys will do well as long as u don't give up hope!! (:
