project superstar

I'm now watching [project superstar] on channel u.
I recalled yesterday's episode. There was this blind person who participated in this competition.
Oh my gosh. He sang so well. Thank goodness he got into the top 24.
He deserved it, man.
It's sort of a recognition for his admirable courage, despite his disability to witness his own victory and how happy the other people were for him (some contestants even stood up after he sang finshed).
But could it be that they selected him because the judges want to show that the handicapped are accepted by the society or maybe they just want to show how "liberal" or "compassionate" mediacorp is.
I hope I think too much.
Maybe he might not be able to get to the very top (1st position), [i'm crossing my fingers]
but his recognised talent might still get him a record deal.
Well, singer like Ocean Yang didnt show his face at all, can still attract so many people to patronize the Music stores just to get his album.
I'm not saying that he doesn't have the looks (hey, i think his smile can attract a lot of people LOL) but let's face the fact.
Nowadays the music industry is all about packaging. All the albums usually comes with lyrics books, photo albums or posters. Where the handsome or pretty singers will strike the listeners, yes, listeners with their seductive postures and body curves.
Why would listeners want to purchase an album due to the attractive covers, instead of their captivating voices?
But that's not the main topic.
Being visually handicapped, he could not possibly be able to perform live on stage without any external help. He could not participate in the discussion on, perhaps, his costumes or his up-coming album cover.
Maybe, he could just captivate audience through his voice. People will just buy his album because of one reason, enchanting voice. But remember not to emphasize too much on his disability, because the overwhelming sales might just be due to sympathy.
But how long can it last?
One album? Two?
Or maybe, just as long as my voice was heard by people, I'm happy enough. Just as long as I know that I have touched the hearts of some, I'm happy enough.
Maybe? I don't know what will happen next. Will he proceed on to win the competition?
But what's more important, is that he is a representative of the disability. He might not have the ability to see, but his ability to sing is not concealed. His courage to stand up, to show that he can take up this challenge is commendable.
But i'm hoping that some record company will approach him. (=
