Ohh, I know it all!!!

And that would be Mr. Halim Said of New Straits Time. Check out his review of TC5 concert in Genting on Sylvia's blog.

I've had enough. People writing them off before even listening to them. Just because they are effing good looking. And to have a professional reporter doing it too. This ticks me off.

Mr. Halim said the guys failed to connect. Said they need to work on their interpersonal skill.
Mr. Halim said Kyle's voice was drawn out and he was croaking.
What pissed me off the most is the way he writes is so "this fucking band knows shite about music" and "all they've got is a bunch of shrieking fans who are equally dumb".

Well, 1st of all, Mister, when you do a review, you make sure the song titles are correct. And at that, you failed. Do your homework.

And the guys failed to connect? Let's put you up there in front of a VIP area which consists of teenagers, young adults, and ADULTS(parents, no joke. yawning in their seats) accompanying their kids. On top of that, NO standing, NO banners. When the crowds are spread out like that, yeah you try to connect, Mr. Halim. It's a fucking rock concert.

Kyle was croaking? Because he was sick dumbass. Again, do your homework.

And the way he wrote the whole article is just like the way half of the music listening population talk about The Click Five. Writing them off before even giving them a listen. Just because of their image. It doesn't mean the music is not good. Obviously this Mister here don't know better and so are half of the music listening population. The difference is, Mr. Halim here is doing it as a professional and that shouldn't be allowed. 

What I am doing here may sound like a die-hard fan defending her favorite band or as Mr. Halim put it, whatever wrong the guys do "it hardly matter to their adoring fans". But seriously, I'm more pissed off with the fact that people writing them off all the time than the way some know-it-all did his review of the concert. For God's sake, he can't even get the song title correct and he judged the show by the starting 15 minutes. So, it indicates how good he is with his job to begin with. He probably is already prejudiced before the guys even got on stage. And oh, saying that they need to improve on their interpersonal skills on newspapers is personal attack, Mr. Halim. Maybe I should forward the review to Wayne or Dave.
