Attempts to dilute SPOP votes on MediaCorp's SPOP Official English Forum
Hi faithful supporters of Teresa!
I have been notified of the following incident at the abovementioned forum (thank you ZZZ for the information) and I have decided to share with all of you what I have responded to that person's post.
This is what he wrote:
Re: Kindly refrain from voting this song!
Originally posted by tida Given her popularity and the number of fans out there, there's no need to vote anymore for Teresa Tsang's song. As you can see from the 'who's leading chart'...her song is already there. She is very safe so no no risk.So, please redirect your energy and vote for Nathaniel's song number 1 instead.
This is what I replied:
Hi tida!
I am agreeable with the notion that Teresa is popular and she does have an incalculable number of supporters (active ones you see in the main fanclub websites and passive ones around the island). Thank you for affirming that with your post too.
But your "no need to vote anymore" suggestion is far from accurate and realistic because I believe many faithful (and thinking) supporters of Teresa understands that the other 11 SPOP songs have also wisely chosen their designated singers who have large fan bases too.
Diluting Yu San's votes to support Nathaniel's song is not a very wise option if supporters really wish to see Yu San steadily holding on in the SPOP competition.
Also, I would like to make it clear here that we have no illusions about the following - The song "Yu San" is written by Dione. Teresa is just the designated singer for this SPOP competition. So the votes which kept Yu San on the leaderboard is not just from the supporters of Teresa but people who genuinely support the SPOP song composition "Yu San" and of course, Dione herself.
Hence, I would like to continue my appeal to supporters of Yu San, Teresa and Dione to vote for the song Yu San in the SPOP voting competition. The closing date is 21 January 2008 so keep the votes coming in! Jia you everyone.
May the best song wins!
Sean Ho

I would like to appeal to all faithful supporters of Teresa not to respond and reply on impulse to such tactics to attempt to dilute the votes of Yu San or to stir anger between supporters of Teresa and supporters of Nathaniel.
Let me deal with these posters. All of you just carry on with your daily voting until Yu San reaches the semi-finals of SPOP, from where a new strategy will be put up if the song makes it to the top 6 compositions.
Have a good week ahead! = ) |

A post and reply on analysis of lyrics for Yu San on SPOP Official Forum
Originally posted by Meteorstorm:
Even though 《雨伞》is one of my favourite songs in SPOP Hurray, i believe there are better written songs in the competition.
I like the melody of 《雨伞》but i don't really like the lyrics... in a way i feel that the love described in the song is too pragmatic and self-centered...
It seems like the song is about how and what the partner can provide, and nothing about giving and sacrificing for love.
The following was my reply to Meteorstorm:
Hi Meteorstorm!I have a few queries about your comments and am wondering if you could answer me?
You said "there are better-written songs in the competition". May I know which songs are you referring to?
You said "the love described in the song is too pragmatic and self-centred..." May I know are you referring to the following parts of 《雨伞》?
只怕雨伞雨伞变得一点破旧
挡不住大雨大雨不停的掉落
小小雨伞驻在我家门的角落
不能永远挡着风 遮着雨 保护我
Although I am not Dione so I can't completely interpret her thoughts for this song, this is how I feel about this part:
Who doesn't worry about the possible change in the nature of one's love over time?
Who doesn't worry that one's love cannot withstand the tests of the ups and downs in life?
I think the songwriter is trying to show the worries and doubts as the song persona looks at the umbrella (which is now a symbol of love) and wonders how long such a love can endure.
I think it has accurately reflected how people have always wanted to huddle under the protection of love but are hesitant to completely commit themselves to love because the relative brutal realities of time, wear and tear often overshadow the enjoyment.
《雨伞》did not give a happy ending nor a sad ending in the song, and Dione has chosen to give it an open ending because even until now, few, if any at all, can confidently determine the outcome of their love.
I suppose this is another truth in anyone's love life - we will not know the quality and strength of our loves until the final moment hence the open-ended question will be there till then.
May the best song wins!

Attempts to dilute SPOP votes on MediaCorp's SPOP Official English Forum
Originally posted by tida
At the rate it is still up as top 6, it will take a 'miracle' to strip its chance. So, fret not people. Stop your votes for this song.
Give a chance to other songs especially no. 1 by Nathaniel Ho.
Teresa already won female champion in CSS1 and she is a lucky star so please spare a vote for Nat who should have beaten Daren in PSS2.
Some people said Teresa sounds like Joi Chua. The industry doesn't need a younger version of Joi Chua. We should promote a good 'variety' of singers and Nat Tan is a different type.
His rendition of the competing song is flawless and that song deserves to be in the Top 6.
So, vote for song No.1 and take a break from voting song No. 5.
Hi tida!
I suppose you must be a strong supporter for the song sung by Nathaniel since this is your second official post advertising for his song on Yu San's thread. Hahaha.
I don't believe in waiting for miracles and I hope all supporters of Yu San will continue supporting the song despite tida's attempts to dilute the votes from Yu San.
Give a chance to other songs? Spare a thought for Nat? I don't intend to humiliate Nathaniel by voting for him just because I want to give him a chance to shine. I believe genuine supporters of Nathaniel and the song Xie Xie Ni De Hao have their own backbone not to vote out of sympathy.
Teresa is a lucky star? Haha..maybe luck plays a certain part in her becoming a Superstar to a certain extent but I believe you didn't see the hard work that she puts offstage to be where she is right now. The reason Teresa continues to work hard in all her performances is because she herself believes in delivering quality performances to all those people who either supports her singing or supports good performances. I see no connection of her efforts to giving a chance to Nathaniel or anything with Daren at all.
Teresa and Joi? I thought I have already explained such a comparision before during Campus Superstar Season One to you, tida? They are different singers with different styles altogether. I have listened to both Teresa and Joi sing live up close and both of them have their own ways of expressing songs. Please don't mix them together as if they are one.
Tida, perhaps you should start a thread advertising Nathaniel's song instead of hijacking on Yu San's thread?
May the best song wins!

With a thread like this, I am afraid, it is going to degenerate into a war of words among fans of participating CSS and PSS stars....
This is why in an earlier thread, i raise my concern about this competition becoming a popularity contest among those participating singers...
This contest is supposed to give due credit to those song writers, and in the end these talents might be sidelined by the singers, who sing their songs. Sad.
Hi Meteorstorm!
Don't worry. There isn't a war of words between fans of participating CSS and PSS stars. At least not from Teresa's cohort of supporters.
Due credit to those songwriters are given when singers sing their songs and people discuss their songs. If you have noticed, I have never sidelined nor neglected Dione Tan at all in any of my posts about Yu San.
I don't know what your background is or how familiar you are with the whole thing but without the singers, the songs compositions will have much less of an impact or audience. Singapore's song composition sector is still at a very young stage, which is why I believe MediaCorp allows the various Superstars to be these songs' designated singers.
Of course, you can put forward the point that the songwriters can sing their songs themselves without relying the help of the various Superstar singers but let's face the reality, not every one of the songwriters can pen and sing equally well so such an alliance in order to promote the songs are necessary.
I am unable to speak for all the songwriters out there but I believe they are already very happy singers are singing their songs and talking about their compositions. To say that "these talents might be sidelined by the singers" would not be a fair statement since the songwriters are already benefitting from the cooperation.
