Thoughts about singing/ band competition

I just read the Newpaper's report about Meryl Lee. Good for her. She seems to be better off today based on the report. I remembered her from the show. She was really good and I thought it was a pity she didn't the other competitors a challenge. I do not know the reason why she quit the show, but the reply she gave was a politically correct one.

I've been involved in some band competitions. I always wonder what happened to the winners. Some of them just faded away. while others still hang around in the scene. Some who didn't win gained better recognision than the winners. The only reason why I took part in band competion was because it was a platform for the bands to be heard. These days there are too many bands out there fighting for slots in gigs. I am jaded and tired. Therefore I decided to concentrate on recording stuff and put them up on a myspace.

I have to admit, I played in bands last time because it was a cool thing to do. Now it has become passion. The fire for this passion has been fanned but the realities of a working life merely make it a dream - an unfulfilled one. Yet many of my friends have heard me talk abou this dream. So what can I do since I don't have any new songs to showcase, so I started with stuff I did 3 years ago.
