2012第九届亚太口琴节的感想


这次2012第九届亚太口琴届令我觉得很纳闷。实力不足而无法胜出这我没话好说,因为我也不是什么实力派,我也没有质疑优胜者的实力,因为这些都是很主观的,任何人(评审和参赛者)都有喜欢或不喜欢的权利。可是亚太确确实实存在了很多公平上问题。

第一,比赛进行得太快了,同时间独奏,重奏和合奏一起进行,无法观赏所有的表演,又禁止拍摄影像。参赛者们赢了或者输了都不知道什么原因。很多组别比赛的胜出只获得几个观众和评审的公认,公信力不强!

第二,公平的比赛怎么可以让参赛者的老师或自己人当评审呢?这个问题自从上一届就已经很多声浪了,主办者是听不到还是假装听不到呢?又或者解决不到评审不足的问题所以才廖化为先锋?

第三,麦克风和音响的问题。有些参赛者表演到一半,竟然因为声量太强而搞到音响“爆”掉,有很多段的细节无法听到,可是最后还可以胜出。如此评分的手法或手段令人摸不着头绪,这影响了优胜者和所有参赛者的声誉,也显示出大会的不专业。好像已经认定了谁将会胜出,不管发生什么事,成绩还是不会变的。

第四,我觉得如果没有完善的敲击设施或伴奏乐器,就不应该主办类是敲响乐的参赛类别,大会根本没有了解交响的基本知识,甚至一概不知。参赛者没有自行准备完善设施的责任。因为参赛者们都是付钱来比赛,不是大会付钱给参赛者们来表演的。

第五,这个比赛感觉有点奇怪,好像“分猪肉”式的,每个地区参赛者平均一定会拿到奖,不管有或没有实力,都一定会得到一些奖。颁奖典礼后还有一些参赛者大哭和高喊“不公平”。这就不多说了,因为我也没有观赏到所有的赛事,也没有资格评估。但如果大会真有“分猪肉”的手段,就奉劝早日收手,这会毁了整个口琴界。皆大欢喜是不会进步的。

第六,为什么颁奖典礼后,不公布其他无法进入三强的成绩呢?分数有这样难算吗?每个组别只不过有四个评审,共起来然后除四需要那么多天的时间吗?还是那边没人懂得用 Microsoft Excel?还是 Printer 坏了?这让人觉得很多三强不是真正的三强,都是以“分猪肉”的方式来颁的。事后需要要几天的时间来编好一份比较“好看”的分数表来取悦大家。可能大会认为皆大欢喜比较重要,但是对某些付出十分努力而得到五分欢喜的参赛者来说,那是极度不公平的,可能导致他们放弃口琴而投入其他乐器,所谓人才外留就是这样解了。

第七,这是国际性的活动,有很多世界各地不同的学校参与,来了不少老师。比赛的时候,报告参赛者和评审名字的emcee怎么可以无法讲出一口流利的英语,甚至流利的华语呢?而且还是华人。有点丢了马来西亚语文强国的脸。@@

唯一我觉得不错的是 FUNSTAGE 和 FLASHMOB 的 ideas,这满创意的,让参赛者们有机会秀秀琴技,虽然我没有参与,但真的感觉很不错。
我觉得满值得的就是还有李让,Judy,天狼星口琴乐团和 Brendon Power 的表演。其他高手的表演可能没有注意到。因为我只看了 Talent Concert 和一些的 Funstage 表演而以。那些帮上台表演的人拉彩的Funstage负责工作人员也很不错,很搞气氛也蛮有活力,多了不少热闹和色彩。虽然只参了两次的亚太,但这些 ideas 也应该算是前所未有了吧。

New Year Eve

Busy throughout last month...December! Since it was holiday, practice almost everyday with Karhoe, Shannon and ChinQi! ^^
If not mistaken, there were 3 performances in Dec. 

Last last Wednesday, we went to Hits Studio, doing the recording of a new song for one of the teams in Great Eastern, Power Group.


The result of recording wasn't so good, but it was very enjoyable and memorable as everyone is funny. =D

During X'mas and it's eve. Stayed home...@@...sicked! Probably because of tiredness.

Last Saturday, New Year Eve. There was a performance in the afternoon at Penangpac, Straits Quay. 3pm to 5pm. Rehearsal from the early morning. Damn tired.

Totally 18 songs. @@ but only 8 to 9 songs were in my brain. LOL
I thought it was just a performance, but at last i realized it was a concert...=.=...more, the performance....sighed...

After the concert, i went back to home for shower and then rushed to Desa Pelangi for the "Apartment Stay + New Year Count Down Party" with Penang HB members and Jens. It has been the second time he count down for New Year in Penang with us. ^^

Steamboat as dinner

After the dinner, they decided to go Straits Quay for the Count Down. It was the second time in a single day..@@.. However, I felt so alive there though tired...=D
                                   



        
The "Making of Desert Photo"...ODD CULTURE...=D

At night, we went back to Desa Pelangi. Only Ee Wen, Xiumin, Xinying, Bullet, Michael and me stayed. What to do at night? Of course not sleeping...LOL..we were eating, watching TV, chatting and.....but non of them talked about harmonica...@@...lol
Until 6am+, I fall asleep finally. =D 

A very special New Year and full of enjoyment with them! =D

Happy New Year 2012.
