MISS NG..LOOK AT THIS...AMAZING?

LOL!!! Here are my answers...From KENG LONG !!!

I've watched all the singing competitions like Campus Superstar / Singapore Idol II and also other programmes like Fear Factor etc . For example recently the latest episode of Fear Factor showed the very dangerous stunt whereby they have to go on a big board roped by the helicopter above the sea. Then they'll have to get all the ribbons without falling off the board in the shortest time possible. And once in the past seasons, they even have to eat pizzas with earthworm on top of them.

I thought that it was really very adventurous of the participants as they risked their lives and even had to undergo dangerous stunts and also to bear with the 'food' that were too gross to believe. But some of their episodes were dedicated to charity, meaning that the participants each represent a charity organisation, and if they win, the organisation they represent will benefit from the money they win. Therefore, i really salute them.

These programmes should be only for entertainment's sake and should not be tried without knowing your own limit. And while being entertained by the fear factor program, we're also being educated to be more open to such adventurous concepts and might even try the nearest extreme sports, since we cannot follow the stunts of the program itself. With more of such programs, im sure that the youth will be more open to such ideas and thus more liberal and think that it's a norm.

As to the singing competions that i've watched, for example Singapore Idol and Campus Superstar, the values that they've conveyed is much more and even left a very deep impact in youth these days. I think that they actually teaches the youth to pursue their dreams more freely and it just seems so near and easy with the increasing numbers of talent quests. Therefore everybody's dreams doesn't seem as far-fetched as before.

Thus youth these days, after seeing more of such competitions and also examples of idols being 'selected' from these competitions, they're able to dare to dream, and to also take the courageous step forward to go for auditions.

Another more interesting reality programme is 'Swan', whereby ugly people (whether too fat, or too lanky) joined the competition and receives EXTREME MAKEOVER using liposuctions, face lifting and all. Very daring, but all for the sake of pursuing dreams as well. This programme should be more of entertainment sake, as we Singaporeans, being the KIA-SI people, will not be able to take it. ^^
