Relax & Post Mortem Konsert ke-4

Strengths: Finally we heard your rich and rounded and resonant high notes last night! Saida, let me tell you something which you already know - you have a beautiful voice. Don't be shy to let it fly. So what if people compare you to your sister? Be yourself and let the REAL Saida come out. I loved how you projected your voice in the first few lines of the song and the sweet tonal qualities of your high notes really shone. OK, so you sounded very much like your sister, but that's not your fault that you both come from the same mold.

Critique: You started the song strong and it seemed that you were going to hit a home run. Visually and audibly, you were powerful at the outset and then? You ran out of stamina. I have to say I was a bit worried when you were going to sing one of your sister's songs, which would challenge you to sing with a solid technical approach. And challenge you it did. I am surprise that you have a weak mid-range. Use your diaphragm, dear. Give those notes support. Ask your teachers to explain to you how to use your cheek resonators too. You sounded nasally in most places and that's because you were projecting through your nasal resonator all the time. Your runs (lenggok) were blurred and not smooth and your ad-libs were all over the place. Why? You didn't open your mouth wide enough and there was no vocal punctuation. DROP THAT JAW AND PUNCH THOSE NOTES. Towards the end of the song it all became quite screechy and throaty simply because there was no forward placement in the voice. Instead of blossoming, you were retreating. Is this a confidence issue? And please remember, a duet means two people singing TO EACH OTHER. From: http://mrmanager.blogspot.com/

Don’t you think that Saida got all the easy parts and it was Noraniza being tested on her vocals? One thing great was that she did not allow Kak Ani to overtake her performance. She still stood out on stage. She is still not releasing her soul to the song. It was all about looking pretty on stage. Ning highlighted the fact that she did not take the opportunity to ad-lib or goreng her vocals. There was a great opportunity but she did not take advantage to show case what she has. Sad...why does the kebaya look so unfinished? From: http://eddypurnama.blogspot.com/

Saida – Hati Kama (0.75)
Persembahan ini adalah paling teruk daripada Saida. Suara Saida lemah dan persembahannya lembik. Saida masih tidak mahu keluar dari kepompongnya. Saida tenggelam dalam persembahan yang sepatutnya menjadi miliknya. Namun, Saida membiarkan dirinya dibayangi oleh penyanyi jemputan Noraniza Idris, penari dan penyanyi latar. Kalau malu nak all out, lebih baik tinggalkan saja akademi. Buang masa tenaga pelajar aje. From: http://speakingwithmyfingers.blogspot.com/
