Read the passage and answer
the question bellow!
Can “AFI”
guarantee someone to be a talented singer?
“Menuju
puncak” is a song that is so popular now. No one can deny that AFI (Akademi Fantasi Indonesia ) has fascinated many fans
around the nation. As one of the many talent search shows, AFI is bound to be
compared with other such programs like “Indonesian Idol“, “Penghuni Terakhir”,
“KDI”, “Indonesia Cantik’ and so on.
AFI
has offered a unique package for viewers; a combination between a reality show
and talent show. Its way of finding real entertainers has increased the
public’s awareness of the difficulties in reaching the top in the entertainment
business.
Frankly speaking, AFI has not fully succeeded
in reaching its main goal. If you take an objective look at number of the
winners, you’ll see that they are not
yet able to fill the most basic requirements, which is sing properly. This is
ironic, considering all criticisms coming from the judges about pitch tones,
tempos, and everything that has to do with becoming a good singer.
Thus,
if we want to improve that Indonesian
music industry, we should really think about
the singer’s and the musician’s talents and train them appropriately, so they
can be a professional singer or musician.
