Well, it seems that the tagboard is full of dramas and whatnots. from the standard well wishes for their respective favourite teams, to so many other irrelevant criticism posted by others. and now it seems chuchu dato' merah is hot on the news, seemingly about its own playing style and originality.

Frankly, i wasnt bothered by people's comment on my own group. memang sudah lumrah joy, dengar kutukan ni semuer. but i have always believed in taking critism in a positive manner, to change it and hopefully, to progress better as a team. but it seems, things are becoming more out of control, sampai tak tahu aper yang aku nih boleh cakap. limit2, kiter nih buat bodoh aje. macam Tok selalu cakap, 'Mulut orang, mana boleh tutup. dorang boleh cakap aper yang dorang nak' . and we can choose to 'work on it, or just dont give a shit about it' .

Though I have been playing for this team about what, 5 to 6 years now, I am still new and considered 'still raw' in this dikir barat world. And through each trainings, and each competitions i have been involved in, i am learning something new. " We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself. ~Lloyd Alexander "
I am also aware of the seemingly 'rivalry' between this group and that group etc, and that is something i just do not understand, up until today.

back to the tagboard. Now, it seems people are talking about CDM's originality. well, these are what my own opinion about Chuchu's playing style and i hope you are able to respect my opinions, like how i do yours. Chuchu's playing style is simple, really! whenever we're up there on stage, there is only one aim on the back on every awok2, every percussions, and the two frontmens head : TO ENTERTAIN THE AUDIENCE. that's right. Like what Tok remind (or shout) to us, during trainings, CHANDI MAO LEBIH!! you don't give him that funny funny face, he give you an ' O-U-F OUT! '

Our top priority has always been the audience. we feel obliged to entertain them and ensure that their 12bucks spent is money well spent. it has always been that way, and will always be. Placings and individuals are not our main target, because we believed.. ' kalau dapat, bonus lah tu. '

These are some of the comments made by some:

"Judge neutral kebabai!!!! Tgkla top 4 semua masing masing punyer group! "

"cdm da mcm replica andika.Tuan presiden gabungan suker.I Loike! "

"ah tulah cdm mcm samer je ngn andika. mane identiti sendiri??"

"klau every grp ade cara dan identiti sendiri, org tk akn comment sal cdm samer ngn andika. nie da ternyata.."

"sama tuh tak sama sangat la broooo...tapi gua prasan recently mcm tibe2 cdm nye Cara permainan berubah ke haluan Cara ac ilsapudih psd lepas.mcm hmm.maybe drg ade xchange programme kot.Ala ni Dari observation je per...cuba banding cara cdm Dari dulu.Dan Cara andika Dari dulu....nampak nye macam andika memang selalunye gitu...mungkin cdm da improve.kire okaela tuh...seni da maju."

"and oh underdog?ala...semua sama ar.semua kumpulan Ada jatuh bangun sendiri.ni silap2 categori wanita jadi issue perbualan pulak kalau endang dengan Nira.sebabnya.pengasas cdm.Dan andika.apa jee"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. well, i did literally laugh out loud viewing each comments being made. but yeah, its somewhat good that people are talking about it, about CDM. well, at least they are taking their precious time, analysing Chuchu's performance and playing style, no?

Okay, about chuchu seemingly playing like Andika's, i honestly feel that we do not have the same playing style. Andika's have their own cara mereka tersendiri, yang kiter pulaq menyampaikan persembahan kiter dengan cara unik yang tersendiri. Like i said previously, why do we do all that stupid funny faces up on stage when we can choose to play it differently? its because our dear Tok wants it to be that way. On a personal level, since i have been involved in every competitions chuchu has gone to, i must say, our playing style has always been the same ever since we, for the first time ever, managed to clinched first in Piala Senandung Rakyat V. And ever since then, we have been sticking to it. Maybe both Chuchu and Andika 'mempersembahkan' their different sets by making the audience laugh and stuff, but how the two teams choose to do it, is another thing altogether. You may think we looked stupid or even find it lame, but as long as the audience are laughing and clapped to acknowledge our 'persembahan' at the end of the day, i feel it is worth everything. Likewise, other 'Giant teams' like Keris choose to 'wow the crowd' with their 'superb ragam and excellent harmonising', Yenbo Je with their ' powerful vocal range' and Kelana Purba with their own unique style. So really, different groups have their own strength and weaknesses too, just like Chuchu Dato' Merah in Mega Perdana 2010.

about the comment made by that someone who posted, "Judge neutral kebabai!!!! Tgkla top 4 semua masing masing punyer group!" it just goes to show how much you trust the credibilty of the judges. to set the record straight, there is NO judge yang 'orang CDM'. Even if there really is, are you saying Chuchu Dato' Merah got through to the semi not based on merit? well sir, maybe you feel we do not deserve to be among the top11 progressing to the semifinal stage, but i do think that we did enough to justify our spot in that semifinal, and that i have complete faith in the judges to ensure who really deserves to be in the semifinal, and then the finals of Mega Perdana 2010. Likewise, i know teams like Andika, Yenbo Je, Kelana Purba and the rest got through because of sheer hard work, and not because of 'judge ni orang dier, mesti lah kumpulan nih masok.'

and there is really one more topic which brought me to my attention, about Endang and CDM. (nih pulaq, aper citer ni..) To say Endang is under Chuchu Datuk Merah is not true at all. the fact is, Hairil and Nafis are the intsructors of Endang, like what you people say it, 'tolong tunjuk ajar diorang'. itu sahaja. they have never been a part of us, nor will it be that way and i dont really understand why this topic about Endang and CDM had to be popped up by people. i have to say Endang has improved by leaps and bounds and i can confidently say they are finally ready to stand on their own feet.

On a personal level, I like the comment posted by someone nicknamed, Francis Fukuyama, which goes like this :

" Pada satu hari, seni nih akan mati.. dan yg hidup hanyalah beberapa kumpuian.. pada masa itu, mereka akan berdamai demi memastikan seni dikir yang bagaikan nyawa ikan, akan terus hidup.. tatkala masa itu datang, baru semua akan terbuka mata dan mindanya, dan mengesali akan perbalahan antara sesama yg wujud pada masa ini.. "

I guessed, whatever he/she is saying does make sense after all, yeah? before this happened, lets put a stop to all this nonsense. why cant we for once, stop being a hypocrite and talk bad about other teams, and instead, clap for the wonderful performance and say, 'damn, they're good!' even if they are not from our own group? Lebih mulia geng kalau kiter bersatu padu, bersama2 memajukan seni dudaya kiter yang tercinta. macam kumpulan durba dua cakap, 'tuntut ilmu zaman berzaman, beza cara tujuan sama.'

Last but not least, to the 11 teams going through to the semifinals, Yenbo Je, Kelana Purba, Andika, D'Tour, Wulan, Dendang Mutiara, Putera Dewa, Keris, Tumpat, Hikayat Putera Emas and last but not least, my own ChuchuDato' Merah, congrats on making it through the Saringan stage. I wish you all the very best on the 9th of May alright. To kumpulan Durbar Dua, Krakatoa as well as Raja Muda, i am pretty sure you all did your very best on that day, but i guess, it's just wasn't enough. but it's okay! berlambak lagy competition yang akan datang okay.

Okaylah, i guess that's about everything that i have to say. I sincerely thank you for taking the time to read my post and my opinions on the debates that has been ongoing so far prior to Mega Perdana 2010. And mintak maaf lah yer, seandainyer sayer ni ader tersilap kata ataopun sayer telah menyakitkan hati siaper2 yang tak diingini, i am sorry. =)

' Kalah menang belakang kire, yang penting ENJOY! '
