|
|
Maybe you've seen one of those TV shows where they have a bunch of different kids sing solo. Its usually a contest so they have a big number on their chest. Or maybe you've just heard your younger students sing.
But... anyone have any idea why their singing sounds like half-way between screaming and screetching? Its so ridiculously high-pitched. I've heard plenty of foreign kids sing before and its nothing like that. Its a uniquely Korean thing. Are they taught that that why is proper?
Secondly, all the songs sound exactly the same. The words are different because I can read the lyrics as they scroll across the screen but the universally piano-played tune sounds nearly identical every time.
Its not even like singing sometimes... just yelling with the music.  |

And, on Americian TV there are many popular show showing young childern hitting their fathers in the groin with thrown objects ...
It is only TV and TV is not reality ...
I love these "Korean TV posts" ...
Have you watched "American TV" ... its [bleep]ed
If you saw a Korean version of 60 Minutes on Korean TV whould you know what it was ?
If you saw a Korean kid kick a soccer ball into his Dad's groin whould you understand it ?
My opinion is that Westerners can't understand good Korean TV and can only fixate on what they can understand, the lowest commmon TV and thus post about it ...
OK, I am lying ... All Korean TV is stupid.
Right on those damn kids can't sing. |

Any child who sings - is worth listening to.... I encourage any child in my class who wants to sing to sing- no matter how bad they are...
Its a pity we lose our innocence somewhere along life's journey - and many adult persons cannot sing thereafter.
Don't criticise the kids - at least they still have somethng to sing about...
If you want to listen to kids with a more gruffy, deeper voice - hell I don't know - try mexican or russian kids choirs. |
