if you've seen this promo trailer, i think u'll understand y i'm writing this blog entry...
it starts in supers asking "why are you voting for them?" then it goes into some montage shots of e various contestants... for e more attractive ones, they placed the supers "their looks" with VO saying "because of their looks..." then for e stronger singers, they placed the supers "their voices" with VO saying "because of their voices..." then for Kelvin, Chen Weilian, they placed the supers "sympathy/pity" with VO saying "or becuase of sympathy/pity..."
i think this is totally unacceptable & its bordering on mean behavior on e side of e editors & producer who did this promo... yes e guy is visually handicapped... but if he can sing & ppl like his voice, y can't he b a singer??? this seems to be a ploy to remind ppl that he is visually handicapped, & a SUPERSTAR can't be visually handicapped... so we should just vote for e beuatiful, e gorgeous, e cute, e voices... even though he himself is a strong singer in his own right... i'm not an ardent supporter of any one of e contestants... but e least e channel can do is to let them have a fair contest by allowing each & everyone of them e same & equal platform, media coverage & publicity so that e public can REALLY COMPARE them & select their faves based on that, & not slanted media coverage like this...
i do hope they'll take out this promo trailer soon... cos its getting on my nerves EVERYTIME i see it...
peace out

I haven't seen the promo. You mean the thing is scripted aka not a street interview kind of thing? Then that's bad. Not only are they putting CWL in a bad light, they are drawing people's attention to his handicap. Instead, they should do more to draw people to their VOICES.
