Just Call mE Ivan

The Theory of Matches (火柴论)

In old day why those singing stars and movie start being called as “star” … well according to Ivan perception (me lah..the owner of the blog), they being call “star” because they shine bright that bring light to many many peoples (fans) , and other than that they long lasting…

But now days he found out this “star” concept no longer apply to current singing and acting industry… all those so call singing stars and movie stars do not really deserve being call “star”…. For him they rather are call as “matches”... like singing match instead of singing star…. Or supermatch instead of superstar… why Ivan have such perception?

Well firstly, a match is useless unless you go and rub it on a rough surface, then only the match will ignite… so the current singer are also the same… first they are quiet, not much people know.. but after those singing contest come out in the market and those who have dream to shine, they will taking part in those contest.. and not matter u either get 1^st, 2^nd or 3^rd place.. yes !!! u will become famous…. Or either you are handsome or pretty… u also can be famous…, So in this situation… the contestant are those matches, and the singing contest is the rough surface….

Next… a match after being ignite, they will be fire to light up a dark environment or burn things… well.. apply this in current singing industry… those so call singer after famous, they are like a juz ignite match… they have lots of fans, concert here n there… first album, them the 2^nd album, 3^rd album…. WOW….!! They are so “bright”… juz like an ignited match…shining ….. burning … hot !!!!

But… the problem is here… a match do not long lasting, after they burned, they are useless… then peoples will throw the used matches away… and being forgotten, so do the singer now days… after they famous for few years… they are dead… forgotten.. because they replace by other singer… juz like matches… after used 1 stick of match.. u throw it away.. and next time u will choose a new match to use…

This situation had happen in few of those singer already.. and some is on his or her way to “hell”, Ivan no need to mention who, because u all know who are those singer…. And some of the singer do not accept the truth of they are being replace.. they insist come out a new album again.. but in the end.. it juz another failure… well they might few of them success.. but they are juz the few of those lucky matches….
