Read the following opinion. Then, answer the questions.
No one can deny that AFI ( Akademi Fantasi Indosiar) has fascinated many fans around the nation. As one of the the many talent search shows. AFI is bound to be compared with other reality show such as Indonesian Idol’, ‘Katakan Cinta’, ‘Playboy Kabel Bersaudara’, and so on.
AFI has offered a unique package for viewers; a combination between a reality show and a talent show. Their way of finding real entertainers has increased the public’s awarness of the difficulties in reaching the top in the entertaint business.
But frankly saying, AFI has not fully succeeded in reaching its main goal. If you take an objective look at a number of a winners, you’ll say see that they not yet able to fill the most basic requirements, which ic to sing properly. This is ironic, considering all the 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 the Indonesian music industry, we should really thing about the singer,s and musician’s talents and train them appropriately, so that they can be a professional singer or musician in the future.
