Ai De Chu Ti Yan was the funniest.
Guo Huo was the most powerful.
Shen Bian was the sweetest.

MLB is so impressive in that it can be so versatile.
Music of course more impt, patterns should be something value-added.
If a group is musically weak, then pple may say they rely on gimmicks.
But since MLB is already so strong musically, then can gan gan chu pattern.

I love how MLB fuse songs together, like Ai De Chu Ti Yan with Pretty Fly, Shen Bian with You're Beautiful.

*laughs* MLB fans are cute [Reply]

I didn't see those as gimmicks.. I felt it was an insight to what kinda people you are.. Which is nice I think.. :)

For example, Lucify may seem fierce to some because of their image or smth but I know they're really funny people =P So all the funny stuff you do show how quirky you are..

I really like how you guys make someone else's song like yours. Not kope-ing, smth like, applying your style to them.. The rearranging, the bits and pieces that are MLB..

I agree with yc~ Each song had their charm. Don't worry so much Nic!

Yuu | 12/06/2006, 02:55

My view [Reply]

personally..I prefer more concept,more pattern den cute ma!..

more pattern den like MLB..=D

I love Ai de chu ti yan's performance de most..=D..cos v cute ma..

De next would be Shen bian..haha..

Actually..all oso v gud lei..haha..

but if MLB didn't come out wif pattern den it would be like so-not MLB le..haha.

Wadeva it is..I jus love MLB..xD

. | 12/06/2006, 08:33

[Reply]

actually i think most ppl like watching performances which are new and original; it may not necessarily mean coming up with new patterns every week 'cos sooner or later patterns will run out..perhaps since u have tried so many patterns already, why not dedicate one week to the original you, with a much stronger and more solid musical arrangement..

cos anyway there's no doubt that u guys can sing, so maybe u can show how good u are music wise also..patterns are good in entertaining ppl and giving them a 'whoa' feeling so they like your performance. but why not impress ppl and 'whoa' them musically? 'cos sometimes i feel that having too many patterns blurs out the essence of the music u produce. jia you!

=D | 12/06/2006, 09:08

[Reply]

MLB gives a very refreshing performance every week.. i guess its not just about plainly making music anymore..

MLB is an entertainer band..

This gives MLB its own style.. no other band has.. its a great opening to a new genre of music and entertaining..

But i do agree with =D that MLB can do something purely music (maybe at the finals.. haha..)to wow the crowd..

Jia you... and take care of yourselves!!!

... its voting day....

<> | 12/06/2006, 09:17

[Reply]

to me, i think

MLB should focus largely on their voices, the singing part

although the singing's always alright but i think (just playing my part to help you guys to improve) to make it perfect, MLB must have a total of three powerful voices.

however, i think the concept's always good! so keep the ball rolling, don't stop!

for the comment on the singing part above, i've written lesser but it involves more thinking.

PS: i liked the last part yesterday, what you did, nic! catch it on tv tonight singaporeans! (:

i think guo huo was really very nice. it was THE song that made me take note of MLB. as for the patterns... can lah. quite funny loh. makes the show more intresting. i quite liike what you guys are doing currently so just dont worry and carry on bah! even though i'm more of a lucify fan, but still, JIAYOU!!!

Is Selling An Idea Or Concept (patterns) Equivilent to a Good Performance? [Reply]

I certainly agree with yc :P
Gimmicks?? No way, that's CREATIVITY!! Which is what I like best abt MLB. I'm soo glad & proud of you guys. The 1st time I c MLB on stage, pardon me, I was wondering what could these 3 young guys do(thought u guys were 15?16??!!)?? You guys really knock me off with yr performance! There's no more monday blueee 4 me cos I always look forward to yr performance :) :) :)

There are many factors that contribute to 'good performance'. U guys are doing well, so don't doubt it. What's important is, what u have learnt from the process :) Just nj what u're doing & I'm sure all MLB fans nj what they are c'ing, that's what it counts, isn't it??

Keep striving forward & don't look back!!! All the BEST, ya Ganbare :O

[Reply]

hi,

i think that selling an idea/concept is not equivalent to a good performance, but a good performance does require having a good idea/concept. unlike an audio recording, a performer needs to consider the visual impacts his/her performance will have on the audience.

so as long as the performance is wholesome i.e. pleasant to the eyes and ears, it will be great. and so far you guys have done a great job! your performances are entertaining, tho not over-the-top, and yup the music quality is still there. keep up the good work and God bless you richly.

[Reply]

hmm.. to me, both are equally impt, bt since this is a musical competition, music may just be a wee bit more impt than concepts, so I wld say 60: 40 ba... lolx... a good performance means that the audience are enjoying it, and if the concepts are one of the factors that make us enjoy MLB's performance even more, than why not incoporate it into the performance? They're certainly not gimmicks if viewed from this stance (at least in my opinion xD) so cont the style you have undertaken, and rock on!

juz wanna sae tat no matta wat u guys wil do..wif or without pattern,i wil stil luv n support mlb... all e way..jia you!!in wateve u guyz wil do in e future..maygd bless n help u thru difficult times..

juz to say sth [Reply]

hmmm. i tink it is not a gimmick becoz u dun do this to get high points. u r hav good music in the picture alr but u juz need the frame to frame up the picture. so the frame is ur creativity n having creativity is good. [i hope i m toking sense here.] if not MLB will be very boring, no pattern n i will be very sad ;[ anw, continue to work hard n i hope u will alws be the top in all the superband competitions!!! LUBVS MLB ALWS!!

think that its ok to put in some 'visualisations and effects' cos we are viewing the performance n tai2 feng1 is counted.. so jux follow ur heart n do the things ur enjoy! jiayou!

[Reply]

There's nothing wrong with incorporating creative concepts into your music. You are playing in your own style. Why not? When the audience enjoy your performance, tt's a good performance! Not everyone can do patterns and still make the performance nice, you've done it so keep it up!

bl@h | 12/06/2006, 11:18

What can i say.....MLB rockz [Reply]

I really love Shen Bian, not sure is it due to Sam's voice that able to bring out the essence of the song or what. Think it is like ukelele meet wu yin liang pin. Very nice. Not forgetting Weiqi his sound effect which enter at the right moment that bring the whole performance to a much higher level.

So what can i say...MLB rockz...maybe only MLB now can make me tear away from Worl Cup...Luckily screening time is different...hahha

[Reply]

actually i like the idea of having more music patterns...wat i mean is like tian mi mi and guo huo...there's different kind of music mixed together in one performance...rock and sentimental...that's wat i like a lot...and of cos adding some cute ideas in performing makes us happy too! a performance has to be both entertaining and also soothing to ears...

anyway...best of luck for today's result show! u guys did well and i think singaporean saw that...so jia you!

na | 12/06/2006, 12:19

[Reply]

its those gimmicks that brighten up the whole song, so dun stop being creative! haha, stay cute (:

: D | 12/06/2006, 12:54

[Reply]

actually, the most impt is music itself bah. those patterns are considered bonus and reflect on you guys' creativity onli.
example, look at mayday. i personally think they are a great band. they dun do patterns or wad. yet their performances are always so impressive. cos they present their songs in their very own way.. with their sincerity. so, as long as u have the passion and heart, it's a good performance.
but becos this is a competition, creativity helps u to get more points and is more encourage-able to put in more patterns. haha. but no worries. u guys did well enough.

erm, to add on, i think among all songs, i really like guo huo a lot. whenever i hear this song, i really feel like 'rocking' with the music! haha. this is the most successful song i think. if a song can make a person feel so tou2 ru4, it's a good performance le.

hah! i crapping so much. hahas. so eager to watch tonite's show! weeeeeex~ vote for them!! =)
rawk on MLB!

Precious Gems [Reply]

Well, I think you all score an ace because of your capability to mix songs and sing it to your own style. if everything stick to original, might as well listen to the original song right?

I did asked the Audio guy in my Church. He's a band member and also doing Audio for years. Well, basically he mentioned that the vocal pitch is not well captured and some other stuffs that i don't really understand. Maybe you can try to attend big churches like City Harvest Church or Faith Community Baptist Church. Their church band are really dynamic. Maybe can get more inspirations there too and perform it out in ur own church or in competitions. In fact I think you all are already fantastic and professional, maybe now you all are precious gems that need a little more polishing. (to reach the higher stage of music in the music industry)Rock on! Eager to see you all on tv tonight!

Kilop | 12/06/2006, 13:24

Go all out and showcase your strengths! [Reply]

I think that for milubing, you guys have the whole package! Musically, the 3 of you are all very talented...and when it comes to music arrangements..I think you guys never fail to experiment with all types of genres of music...always trying to present something different to the audience musically! All the songs that you guys have performed so far...honestly speaking, I always prefer the new versions that you guys come up with compared to the originals!

As for the "patterns"...I think that is what makes milubing truely milubing...as xu huan liang has said before...the 3 of you are very humourous people...why not use that to your advantage? When you make the audience smile with your performance...half the battle's already won!

Practically speaking...although 非常superband might be called a music competion...however we've got to be realistic about it...the competition functions in a way where most people watch it on tv...and its the people who watch the show on tv who vote! So being entertainers is very important in this competition...and not just purely musicians...

From the start of the competition...it's never been just about the music...during the first few rounds...I was always worried for milubing because I know that Sam, Nic and Wei Qi are 3 guys who care more about the music than anything else...they started off really shy...just concentrating on the music...working on their stage presence(as other groups appeared to be much stronger in this area)...but just look how much they've grown!

Ever since they have found their niche...each of them coming out of their own comfort zones...they have surpassed all expectations! I'm so very proud of the 3 of you because not only are you guys funny, cute and musically talented, most importantly, you care about what your family, friends and fans think...wanting to improve so as not to let all of us down...

No matter what the outcome of this competition is...the 3 of you must continue to keep your passion and your music alive! I love 迷路兵...a lot a lot..

cheeks | 12/06/2006, 13:46

[Reply]

woohoo!! dats a long comment.. i think i would prefer more musical than conceptual.. probably the 70:30 ratio is fine??

it's ok to have patterns.. i think it'll liven up the whole performance.. so i don't think that u guys made it just cos of the patterns.. its the whole package.. if u are star material, u ARE star material.. that's what MLB is!! =))

woohoo!! let ur voices be known~!! i love MLB~~~~ ROCK ON GUYS!!!

Hi Nic,

I may not be your youngest or cutest fan, but i have been following MILUBING's performances since beginning. What caught my attention is the freshness and unique arrangement of the songs performed. Please do not worry about the creativity displayed each week. You guys are truly entertaining and Mondays are never the same without you guys!!

Old fan | 12/06/2006, 14:52

right track [Reply]

I think u guys are moving on the right track. Superband is not just another singing competition though the singing is also impt. It's also abt band chemistry and stage presence which u guys have. Can tell u really enjoy performing so we also enjoy watching. Look fwd to ur 'patterns' every wk. At least that makes u diff from other bands. Esp love the part before Bu Xiang Zhang Da. So funny! So continue with the humour. Though I also liked Shen Bian where u just sang beautifully. On the whole, I think u guys have been good.

me | 12/06/2006, 15:51

Arrangements like Guo Huo is great [Reply]

I guess the winning formula is to be able to come out with an original mix .. something that is yours and people can connect with.

Guo Huo is a great example that people connected with you.

Secondly, there is an element of mystery that people are looking for .. something to surprise the audience.

Well done .. will be rooting for you guys!

Peking Duck | 12/06/2006, 16:22

Jia You [Reply]

Ya i agree that Guo Huo left the deepest impression so far. In fact it is the originality that struck me. Its good to have musical and conceptual, the "element" is still THE music but spicing up with conceptual ideas like "image", is creative too. You guys are doing very well and looking fwd to your performance. Keep it up!

lalala | 12/06/2006, 16:38

my 2 cents... [Reply]

To be honest, I only started watching the competition around 4-5 weeks ago, but from what I saw here are my comments:

- the concept thing was fun at first but I find that at this stage of the competition, it shouldn't be the main focus of your performance. You sing well, and you're creative in your music arrangement. That's good enough to see you through. Not everyone likes concepts as it may appear tired and cheesy when repeated too much. Like I said, you're good enough without the concepts so no worries!

aliene | 12/06/2006, 16:49

[Reply]

hmm wells, i think the key to a great performance is originality and creativity
pulling off gimmicks is perhaps a bonus to your performance? it makes people feel that there's some creativity incoporated in the performance as well.
and of course originality. only an original band would be fit for the position of Superband champion. even though being original may not be equivalent to a good performance,but when originality and creativity are together, it'll mean a great performance.
continue adding new "patterns" to your performances!
and continue being UNIQUE :)

so yeah! my two cents worth. duno if you guys will understand... hahaas....

VOTE FOR MILUBING!!!

the thing i love about milubing is that, you guys are always so concerned about OUR opinions, and concerned about fans too! the way you guys ask us these questions, it makes us feel that we seriously matter alot for your performances.

felt touched by the opening sentence... "We all have our own points of view..we respect everyone's..thats why we wanna hear what you guyz think!" thanks for respecting everyone's views for everything. this is what i like about MLB! your sincerity and everything...

jiayouu... im sure you guys can be the first ever SUPERBAND! =)

I'll vote for too!

MIB | 12/06/2006, 17:17

[Reply]

Hey Guys,
Do bear in mind that this is a band competition, and not some musical skill competency test. So don't worry what your detractors say. No singer/band gets through with just wonderful and perfect instrument playing and vocals. Image is of utmost importance. And by image I mean the performance style as well as how the band dresses and carries themselves.

So just continue what you guys have been doing all along. You guys have succeeded in creating an image for yourselves, have found a niche audience, and will go very far in this competition.

But if you guys decide to go pro, get a bassist lah. Your musical sound now without a bassist is not bad, but I think having a bassline to your songs could add a whole new dimension.

Oh and just a suggestion. No more pink themes please? Heh.

miss d | 12/06/2006, 17:23

[Reply]

heh..so far,the song which left me the deepest impression was Guo Huo. Actually i like guo huo and shen bian..both songs together= perfect! Anyway,Jiayou and best of luck tonite =))

jyn3 | 12/06/2006, 17:31

[Reply]

My 2 centt worth.

I think you don't have to worry so much about the critism because this is a competition and there is nothing wrong with injecting creativity to gain better points. What is wrong with that? However, having said that, the heart of everything must still be the music, as long as the creativity is got to do with music, i think that's fine! If not, yes, it will seem like you are trying too hard to win. And that is really not good.

As for trying to appeal to the general public, i feel that it is very difficult ot please everyone. Surely someone will something to said. So i suggest MLB still to what you want to be and what you like to be. Don't check your bearings with anyone but with yourselves. That is the true beauty. People like you for what you are and not for what you try to be. Doesn't it mean that most ple like hip-hop means you gotta learn how to dance and rap? No right?

Go back and remember why 3 of you wanted to take part in the competition in the first place. In competitions or many things, sometimes, halfway, we lose ourselves and forgot the original reason why we do certain things and we started to get distracted....cos of the pressure, the points, the competition. So i suggest you guys reflect again why you wanted to join this competition and be true to it.

That is the real spirit of winning.

Don't be too eager... over eagest is the greatest danger.

Till now, all the best.

If by being yourselves can bring you guys so far, i don't see y you shouldn't continue to be.

Good luck

Old Hag | 12/06/2006, 17:54

Well... [Reply]

Hi milubing. How are you trios feeling today?

For me, selling 'patterns' is equivalent to a good performance, but not in a long term. First of foremost, instilling 'patterns' in your performance...for me is creativity. You guys are capable of turning any nonsence idea into an entertaining performance. It seemed like only milubing are capable of doing it (oops! will I be offending others?) or we can say, it has become milubing's trademark.

However,

the primary focus in milubing's performance should still be music. As milubing progresses...hmm...'patterns' are still necessary, but I think it should be in the music. Your performance for QF5 and QF7 are very good examples of what I'm trying to say. Hmm... I don't know how to go on le. If I can think of how to explain further then I'll come again, or anyone (MLB family members) can add on to my statement if you want to. Best wishes!

Well.. [Reply]

ha..good job Miluni. anyway, i think old hag is right. Though you need to improve urself by in the end must still ask if you are happy with what u are doing, the kind of music u produce and also if you can be yourself. that's the most impt and also being yourself has always been your trademark all the while. which attracts ppl. Improving is a good idea, but improving is not compromising with all the audience's liking. Be yourself. (just like Lee Hom) Rock on!

It's more than just music [Reply]

Firstly, to everyone out there, as Nic have said, this is a sensitive topic. Whoever that has made any comments, good or bad, it might be useful to the group, so please do not start a conflict in here. I believe everyone has their own comments and I swear you have your own to.

Hello. I suppose this whole competition is more than just music. You guys do reach the judges expectations when it comes to music. The performances were entertaining but there isn’t anything fresh every week. You guys seems to be going around your own circle. This might be the safest thing to do but maybe trying something new might be a good surprise. However, do be careful (I said MAYBE).

My views. I think the three of you have the looks, the x-factor (I suppose), are musically inclined, and do know a range of instruments. Selling ideas and creativity incorporated into music is not a bad idea. I don’t think its considered as pulling gimmicks to get scores. This is still a competition, I must emphasize. So certain things are still necessary. Everyone have their own opinions, so I think its up to you guys to take it to heart or to ignore. Taiwan band, F.I.R, do not need anything like pulling gimmicks to get more fans or anything, they are just as popular. But, this IS still a competition. There might still be a need for that ‘something’ in there.

One point, fan base. You guys do have a strong FRIEND base, not fan base. 704 members in your Yahoo Group so far. However, every time when it comes to recordings and result shows, where are all these fans? Where have they all gone to? I’ve been down to mediacorp a few times to watch Superband and I feel that but I don’t see them around. All those standing in that group and screaming for you guys are all your friends and families. Maybe you guys should try to find out why. This competition relies on 30% of the judges marks and 70% ON VOTES. Fans are a main key to votes. Maybe there is a need to work on that (I said MAYBE).

Nic, it’s good that you brought this out and to see the audience preferences and what you guys can really improve on. This is something I haven’t really seen other bands doing. And those things I’ve mentioned above are purely my opinions. And I apologize if I’ve offended anyone anyhow. I hope I haven’t gone off topic and that my comments can be of something useful. laughs* Alright, good luck and all the best!

God Bless

Wow... 0v0 [Reply]

Yup, milubing did perform well for QF8. But, please allowed me to give my very objective feedback, I feel that milubing could have done better. Nic sounded strange. I find that your diction was…how should I describe…a little (a bit only) not good/clear…I suspect it’s the mic problem. You might want to look into this. If there’s no problem then I apologize and please ignore the above. And Sam, you are still as shy as ever. Although we love the shy shy Sam, I have to agree with Mr Wu Jia Ming and Dennis (chong qing) that you have to be more confident. Awwww, who to listen to leh? Just do what you are comfortable with. And Wei qi, you know how to play flute (is that flute?) wor! Wow, we have seen another side of you le. Haha! All the best to milubing!

quizzy_me | 12/06/2006, 21:36

wells. if MLB's vocal aint gd, the judges whudnt even pay much attention to the patterns. so dun worry yar? continue to put in ur best and present tpo us the best performance ever. and congrats on the 37 again! and hope sam can be more confident. yups. ALL THE BEST GUYS :D

lols | 12/06/2006, 21:39

[Reply]

Gahh... when are the surprises going to stop MLB? Heehee!

Throughout this whole superband journey, MLB has surprised us time and again. First it was MLB's first 'pattern' at Big Jam, whoa!

Then *eh*? Sam the drummer playing the keyboard and singing during Hai Lang! And eh?? Weiqi beatboxing! Sam with guitar singing Shen Bian! Weiqi beatboxing AND playing the keyboard simultaneously! Weiqi playing Chinese flute!

What's most heartening is that MLB shows no air at all. There's no overconfidence and they're usually low-profile.

Sometimes too shy lah. Fans really waving at them and they want to 'confirm' whether it's them or not. Hehe!

I don't want it to end... hai..We all want to see MLB again and again...
Hope that fans will really vote T^T... B3 71199..........

HI!

I'm a Lucify supporter. You guys aren't on my favourite list initally. But after last week's performance, you guys impressed me! I like sam's voice ALOT! LOLS.

MLB is really a bunch of very talented guys. You guys are PRO know how to play all kinds of instruments.

May the best band wins the tittle of the first "SUPERBAND"!

JIAYOU.

ESP NIC!! SO CUTE!!

jie yin | 12/06/2006, 22:02

[Reply]

well, among all your performance, i would say that i like guo huo the best. i tink the remix is good, and it showcase your vocals veri well too. so, yah, i would prefer more musical than conceptual. in fact, i tink is like your 'cheng ming zuo', coz from various forums wif superband discussion, many pple actually likes it, and start to notice u since that performance.

i tink that all of u got good vocals, u can complement each other wif your different voices. Plus u guys are talented in remixing the music to your own style, keep up the good work!!

as for the extra 'patterns', such as humor, if it comes natually and goes well with the performance, why not? brings us some joy too... but as always said, too much of a good thing could be bad. don't overdose your performance wif too many 'patterns', coz the main objective of your performance still should lies on your singing and music making. and sometimes pple will not feel 'surprise' if they keep seeing the same thing. your performance in 'shen bian' is quite a breakthru. becoz most pple were thinking that u will go slow tempo then to rock again (as in 'guo huo', 'bu xiang zhang da') but u guys prove it wrong, u went 'shu qing' all the way which gives us a pleasant surprise. so sometimes, simple things can give surprises too..

most impt thing is to njoy yrself,
the stage is yours, juz be yourself, perform the way u want to be. only when 'ni kuai le' then yr fans and audience will be 'kuai le' :D

and... congrats for yr great performance 2nite!! muz jia you for the next one... juz a note, this round u guys use the 'slow tempo to rock' concept.. hmmm... mayb consider a change in the nxt performance??

simian | 12/06/2006, 22:12

GOOD LUCK :D [Reply]

The scores were really close tonight and i guess it all boils down to the votes which takes up 70% of the overall results! I'm just very worried about MLB's fanbase ):

GOOD LUCK MLB AND GOD BLESS

[Reply]

itz been a joy watching ur performance week after week. the very first performance tt caught my attention has got to be "Guo Huo". From there on, ur performances have only been improvin!! music vs concepts? both are equally impt in tis competition n the entertainment industry. as u guyz come up with new ideas, jus rem not to neglect the music portion (which u haven). the conceptz and musical arrangement should complement one another, neither shd outshine the other. so there is no way to split the ratio between new ideas and the music. u guyz certainly have the underlying essence of being a great band - ability to play numerous instruments, good vocals, cohesiveness as a group, e x-factor to charm the audience! juz my 2-centz worth of comments.
good luck as u continue on w tis competition! u guyz certainly roxz!!

neLLe | 12/06/2006, 23:21

[Reply]

I like the fact it's the element of surprise tt keep winning more fans. E.g. after weeks of 'pattern', we keep a very simple rendition of Shen_Bian. Gosh, its Sam singing! Awk! Drummer can sing! Yest when I was @ the recording, when Weiqi started on the flute, there were loud gasps ALL ROUND the audience. Everyone was amazed. Hence, I believe its the variation in delivery every week that make us look forward to MLB performance. PLEASE PLEASE don stick to just one formula of musical or conceptual cos u guys are capable of pulling thru many types. Keep us in suspense and I think we love MLB more :)

Btw, Im sure Weiqi's dad was in front of me when Q-ing to enter the studio (look so alike!) If Weiqi is my son, I would be sooooo proud of him when the gasps arised from the studio on Sunday nite. Good job guys!

Gimmicks or no gimmicks, the important thing is not to get carried away by the aim of the competition.. It's good to have something refreshing every week, and at the moment i think the amount of "gimmick" is just nice, not too much.

Of utmost importance is your ability to create your own style and character, which i must say you guys have done tremendously well. While most of your songs contain different styles, they should slowly merge into your own unique styles. after all, if u guys become successful, u must have your own identity, just like sun yan zi when she came out. (just an example k)

therefore, examine your strengths, and create your unique identity! jiayou! :)

Almost heart attack [Reply]

Hi guys, just wondering aloud on the results show? Abit confused here. Based on yesterday results, does it mean MLB is at the bottom three because they are in the red box? If it is true, it would mean that fans or friends must have not voted enough because subconsciously, everyone thinks MLB is good and therefore sure can get in next round. What happens to Juz B, strikes a nervous chord in me. Hope everyone will continue to vote for MLB and definitely me will. Please do vote hard cos as what Ryan Seacrest always says... EVERY VOTES COUNT!!! God bless MLB.

i think incorporating creativity into your music has always been MLB's style. so why change because of some critisisms that say you guys arent getting scores due to your music? your creativity has made MLB a joy to watch. without the creativity, i dont think the effect will be as good. and what more, without the creativity, wont you guys be the same as the rest? at least you guys stand out and there are many who enjoy your performances. (:

mas | 13/06/2006, 10:53

HI Worried Fan [Reply]

After analysing the results and the way they annouce (elimating ple slowly) - there is no trend. It is hap-hazard - everybody is given a chance to be the last few, trust me. Initially i thought there was a trend. Cos some groups nvr seem to get the last but when snoppy was the last yesterday, i realise that they gave everyone a chance to get through.

So don't worry lah.

na | 13/06/2006, 11:19

[Reply]

u guyz have been very original and creative in your performances week after week.. kudos!

however, i feel that having gimmicks in songs is the short-term formula to win audience's hearts but not the long-term formula to ace the competition. yes, it is entertaining.. but i guess what makes a band realli good is how they can bring out a new flavour to a song heard before, in terms of musical arrangement.

but in a competition like this, u gotta to give both sides. entertain and be professional at the same time. from what i see, alot of variety and talent is coming out from you guyz, simply superb!

duckiez | 13/06/2006, 11:33

Peformance don't matter [Reply]

Hi,
actually looking at the format of the competition, peformance doesn't really matter.

In fact, the better one perform, the sadder they will be when they are "out" - not that MLB should be doing a slopping job la. My point is that MLB shouldn't be so stressed out - it is just a big game to entertain ple.

Technically speaking, if based on votes, the competition can stop immediately - dun need to go on weeks after weeeks to talk about peformances. I am sure by now, they should know who gets most votes.

So therefore, it is just a big big game to entertain viewers.

MLB - the music is great! jUST ENJoy every moment and don't take winning as success.

I think you 3 are really cute and media NOT savvy - which is why ple like you. When camera pan on you, you all always look so lost and blur and nervous. Thats something really nice and attractive and real.

All the best!

Harajuku | 13/06/2006, 11:41

erm [Reply]

Sorry if I offend anyone here but was kinda disappointed by last nite's performance. I like the usage of Chinese instruments but that's about all. The vocals weren't good and on the whole, something was missing. Definitely one of your weaker performances. Anyway hope u guys do better next week. Cos many bands who were weaker previously did well surprisingly last nite so it's a tough game.

me | 13/06/2006, 11:46

Erm erm [Reply]

Erm, you kina of right.

The usage of chinese instruments was super. When the flute was played, there was silence in my family...it was beautiful....but kind of too short...when sam started to talk...it suddenly breaks the momentum and when you guys switch to rock, i find it takes a little too long...there was too long a break so wasn't tat smooth

but on the whole, was still good. Still enjoyable.

Just some constructive opinion.

Ha | 13/06/2006, 11:53

Well, MLB, so many opinions. Aren't u confused? Hee.. Be youself! Some comments worth pondering at though.

Oyster | 13/06/2006, 12:46

Guo Hou is history [Reply]

After reading all the good reviews about Guohuo. I have something to say.

Music is an art - not science so there is really no success formal. it doesn't mean that cos Guohuo scores well with everyone means that is the success formular and therefore, it can be replicated.

Things turn out well cos of the right time, right place, right mood and right feeling and all these right elements will not come together again.

Every song has their essence. Everyweek, people's expecations change, vibes change, feelings and mood changes so it doesn't mean if you play Guo Huo again, it will be as popular. it is like food - when something is nice, you can't eat a second plate. It won't taste as good - same goes for Music.

I worry that you guys start to take Guo Huo as the successful formula.

Guo huo is history - it makes people sit up and notice you and makes yourselves sit up and notice yourselves. But it is over.

Instead on lingering on Guohuo, i think it might be wiser to move on and discover new elements.

My 2 cents worth.

wow.. i was really amazed by the use of the di zi and 'guitar'

(weiqi.. heard you were in the di zi school team.. cool man.. great musicality..)

i think the singing was good.. but not the best.. just that you guys like a bit camera shy.. be confident.. i realized that you guys like to glance at each other for 'support' while playing.. just enjoy on stage.. and dare to look at the camera...

Jia you... can't wait for next week..

[Reply]

i prefer the musical side of MLb...i like how u all do the rearrangement of the songs...the best 3 songs imo: guo huo & ni kuai le suo yi wo kuai le & shen bian...guo huo was the song that made me notice u 3...wat with the army outfit + slow tempo to rock...i think MLb need to improve attire-wise...and i like MLb the chorus parts where u all will sing tgt...i agree with '' that u all like to glance at each other on stage...dunno whether it's a kind of hu dong but i think u all should look at the camera more daringly...like the di zi and pipa during tian mi mi...sam holding the fan saying 'zai na li? zai na li jian guo ni?' i tink it's not sharp enough...sam mai shy ok...as wat judges say, practice in front of mirror or u can even observe how other groups face the camera...the little actions they do, facial expression etc
MLb continue to rock on stage ok!

CREATIVITY IS THE KEY.

i think you guys are very successful in creativity. in addition to your good musical elements and sounds, creativity makes people yearn for your performance. i have friends asking me,

friend:mlb is coming out around what time ah?

me:i thought you don't watch superband one?

friend:aiya you all said mlb got a lot of patterns then i watched their previous one quite interesting so watch lor.

me:okay they are B3 this time so around 8.15pm that time.

friend:okay thanks!

see that? your creativity attracts people and allows people to start noticing mlb. of course, strong vocals is also very impt but i think you guys got that. so don't be afraid to continue this great creativity which is already in you guys!

i think the 70/30 version is good. it showcase your talents with a twinge of creativity in it. this time round's tian mi mi was also good, an it be considered a 60/40? i think its good. and i especially like it when you guys from a soft and slow music move on to the rock version.

good luck mlb and continue to give us good music and surprises! =D

人红是非多 [Reply]

The above title was adapted from 综艺大哥大. Yup, today is suppose to be a sweet tuesday, not sour tuesday. So, although we can see the not-so-positive-comment above, lets not let it destory today's 'taste' ok?

Frankly speaking, but not trying to demoralise/discourage milubing and also don't mean to offend anyone here, I was a little ( a bit only) disappointed by yesterday's performance too, just like what 'me' has mention earlier. Yes, milubing really did a good job for QF8, but not as good as previous QFs. I mentioned before the milubing's performance in QF6 is fantastic to such an extent that their illness (some of them already sick during QF6) did not affect their performance. But I suspect it had affected QF8's performance. After I recalled back, I find that the word 'tired' had 'written very clearly' on you trios' face le (to me la). Correct me if I'm wrong. That's just how I feel, I hope no one got offended. If yes, I'm truly sorry.

Nevertheless, congratz to milubing for proceeding to the next round. Milubing must keep persevering wor! Milubing will never give up and never say die de, don't you think so?
;)

i initially starte supported mi lu bing cos i tot the 3 of u are v cute, and so sweet to ur gfs! after suntec fountain show tot u guys are not bad, really deserve a fighting chance... then u guys made me sit up n really NOTICE mi lu bing with ai de chu ti yan and proceeded to sweep me off my feet with guo huo, shen bian and bu xiang zhang da...

BUT! this week a bit scared for u guys, not juz cos during results show u guys in the last 4 but it seriously wasn't a super performance from u guys and the other bands are getting better (eg: yesteray was J3's best performance for me!)so you guys muz jia you cos as u guys have ur patterns, other bands will also come up with some patterns of their own...

i support your patterns, they blend in with your rearrangement of the music very well... hope to see you guys proceed to the next round everyweek! jia you jia you!!! keep on rocking!

ps: sam u muz be so confident! even though i tink you are so cute when you are shy... ^^

Well, it doesn't really matter if other groups sang better than usual yesterday cause MLB keeps its consistency for every performance and getting better. So MLB is not in the danger zone. Very well done. Keep on going. Though some parts of yesterday's performance needs improving, all are well. MLB, see u soon with all your patterns next week! GOD Bless you!

you guys are definitely doing the right things in pleasing the judges. from what i see from the beginning till now, the judges are in favour of creativity and 'patterns' other than singing alone.

make things easier:
to stay in the competition,
i feel that 'patterns' and 'concepts of stage presentation' are essential and crucial;

to remain in the music industry,
good vocals and music are of utmost significance. 'patterns' come much later than that.

MLB, way to go!

The song that woke me up is sheng bian. All along I think you guys are great becos there are only 3 of you, but you guys performed like there was a big band there. However, the other bands can perform too, so nothing much special. But when sam start sing sheng bian with guiter, I was wow...He know guiter too?! Sorry that I missed quite a few eps. From then on, I'm converted. Slowly, from your performance, I always see something new. Using electric guiter for that kind of classical music is superble, the judges think so too. As I had always tell my friends, this is an entertainment show, you are in the entertaining industry, so entertaining the crowd is very important. Continue with the patterns, not too much though. Even MayDay sometime makes patterns too.

I think they have got more up their sleeves. They don't seem the kind that slacks on music quality as they have it. Maybe they're planning something up ahead. They seem to like to keep and "store power" one shot chut. Eg Guo Huo, many rd of simpler stuff the "BAM", then it simmered down a lil. One minute emo rock another minute, indian cum funk n rock, the next min shu qing, what can i say, got great insight on how to play around with who sings and what genre to go into. Though experience slight technical probs, itz already hard to do what they do and stand up without legs shivering on that stage. Continue rocking!

Why am i not suprised that i'll be in for a suprise again this week?

each song has different meaning to different ppl, and the most charming part of MLB is the way the songs are interpreted and presented. =)

well, i suppose ive nth to sae abt u guys' pattern

but i like ur chords, i mean the "he sheng" part. mayb can work on tt? cox i tink the supporting voices r louder den the main voice.

and i tink weiqi did extremely well on his vocal percussion. so u guys can try more songs on rock and roll?? since weiqi did well in tt rather den keyboard all the time.

and i tink among the songs, i prefer shen bian. the vocal, the phrase "u're beautiful" reali makes it sounded so MLB.

looking forward for more interesting prformances!!

The Most Outstanding Team! [Reply]

Initially, i thought you guys would not suvive throghout 'cos you guys kips wearing berms and didnt really see your 'X' factor. BUT it was after watching 'Ai De Chu Ti Yan' that changes my mind. Ever since after that performace, you guys had been show-casting your talents, creativity and chose of songs are very very important. Another point to add was, that week before you guys sang 'Shen Bian' i was so worried that you guys may come up with the same pattern of gimmicks again as repeatedly having the same gimmicks would look bored. BUT again, you guys surprises with a very sweet song and style of YOURS! GREAT JOB so far, as competition is drawing to the climax, stress is bound to be, take stress as an improvement for you guys to aim and together with all your fans and supporters you'll BE THE BEST YOU WILL BE! YoU guys are bad, keeps tempting me to look forward to your every week's show!
