After my earlier post about Vasantham Star, http://sleeepymango.blogspot.com/2005/09/there-is-this-contest-on-local-tamil.html, I quit watching the program on television. I actually did not want to waste my time or blog space writing about a useless program. But, recently I have been flooded by mails from my friends regarding complaints that are being sent to Mediacorp about this show.
Humility is what the judges lack. To be an artiste, it is important to learn how to be humble. Art including singing, dancing, drama etc are things that do not have specified time periods or specifics at all. One can go on learning singing till the day he dies, and yet he would have hardly scraped the surface in the vast ocean that is singing.
True musicians never boast (although there might be an exceptional few who have their talent go over their heads...in the end these people come tumbling down and thats a pity). Not only in music, but in life as well. Boastfulness is fun only while it lasts, and then when you cannot keep up with it, you fall flat on your face.
There is always someone better. Its only a matter of time that the ranks get changed and someone else attains the higher rungs in the ladder. The measure of indispensibility is to put your hand through a bucket of water; the time it takes for the water to cover your hand is how indispensible one is in reality. Sad and almost philosophical in nature, but very true.
