Battle with a bunch of Fans

I was listening to one of the Singapore radio online, and watching the webcam too for SHE, coz long time din listen to their update info.

And so, at the end of the programme, suddenly that radio station play Britney Spears- Everytime intro, i was like, wah ... their station played english songs too, bt then suddenly i heard the lyrics is in chinese, then i was trying to figure out who the hell is that singing this song, then here came Ella voice, coz of her deep soulful voice, it is very easy to recognise. Then i was like OH MY GOD ... WHY !!! ... then the radio line stuck, and Bufferring again... so i din finish listen to that song, bt i dun like it, coz i dun like ppl who sings other ppl song which is already famous.

So i go to post in their official Taiwan website abt my opinion to their version of Everytime. Then, those so called "loyal" fans, rebutt me gao gao !! .. so damn scary, coz i am like fighting and battling alone without anyone support.

Ok, this is wat i said if u know how to read chinese
"刚刚在新加坡的电台,听到SHE的另外一首新歌, 是小甜甜布莱尼 (britney spears) 的Everytime. 在那么多首国外的歌,为什么就要翻唱她的歌呢?就是因为她太红,翻唱她的歌令SHE不珍贵了!cheap了! 更何况,他现在也好不到那里去。"

Then here came all this fans who rebutted me
"你怎麼可以這樣說啊﹗"
" 呵呵。。看到你TYPE的CHEAP就氣了起來~!!!grr..grr...不同歌手唱出的歌有不同的感覺 ok..."
"你根本不是 S.H.E 的忠实 Fans"
"原唱就是原唱翻唱就是翻唱可以比較的嗎更何況S.H.E不是翻唱誰的歌呢~~她們唱的是改編歌~~~歌訶不同就不算是翻唱~~~~明白嗎所以~~~沒有地方可以比較的~~~OK.."
"我只想說這首歌好聽..."

Then i reply
"你们长大好不好?你们知不知道,翻唱已经是他们最大的弱点了,如果他们翻唱一些不出名的歌,那么还好,可是 Britney Spears的 Everytime 是一首很红的歌,如果翻唱她的歌会不好看了,你们说要怎么跟别人(看不起 SHE 的人)交待呢?有一个弱点就是翻唱太多了,不过他们通常翻唱的都是没有红片半球的歌, 那么还好啊,起码别人不知道。还有,只有SHE的忠实歌迷才会说真话, 不要再骗自己了!"

Then here came another fans
"It doesn't matter if they sing others songs..at least they really put effort in it..And the song is very nice..Cheap???!!!hope u respect other..No matter S.H.E or Britney..U dun haf the right 2 critisize ppl..u think who r u.."

Then me
"if u are a musician who appreciate the hardwork of a piece of music and the creativity of music, u will have another thought. Because u believe that you can write ur own music and create a new music rather than singing others ppl songs which is already FAMOUS!! if u go n ask musician, they won't like to listen to ppl whose songs are not original."

So now i am so scared that ppl will kick me out frm that board ... haha, but i was telling the truth la!!

and also, Britney spoiled her image in my heart, she is no longer the pure n simple girl, now she is giving me this slutty, wild, sexy, almost like selling he body in every of her music video ...

So, now SHE uses her song to sing... kinda like nt match!! though that song is everytime ... bt still this song is way too popular, everyone knows it, (maybe except for those Taiwanese la)

To me, when someone sings some famous ppl songs tat are popular now, the new version of that song will sounds so cheesy n cheap feeling!!

[edited after a few minutes of updating that site]
some reply are made here frm the fans

"干吗那么冲。歌自然好听但也得理智点啊!Everytime真的很红。所以那个Ella好親切(me)所说的也满对的。但那CHEAP很碍眼。"
"yeah...but sumtimes we oso can appreciate others gd work...i dun think they sing others songs which is FAMOUS got any prob..If it's nice..it can cover anything..."
"還是這一句~~~好聽就行無論怎樣我們還是會支持S.H.E的!!!"

so now gt someone support my point ... but the "cheap" word make them soooo uncomfortable.

[edit again, coz the thread is "hot"]
fans ...

"That's rite... I think a musician will be happy that his work is being appreciated by others, esp across languages. I don't see any problem with S.H.E 翻唱 these english songs lor, futhermore they r not doing the english cover. I believe a lot of fans only notice the originals after S.H.E sang them. They help to reach out to those who r not into English pop. Even song writer-singer themselves will do e exact cover of e songs they wrote for others, so r they cheap too? "

"各位幹嘛那麼生氣咧 我覺得Ella好親切(Carven)說的很有道理啊 Britney Spears本身已經很紅了 再加上Everytime又是上張專輯主打歌之一 MV內容挑戰自殺的劇情 那時真的是蠻轟動的一首歌 而就這麼巧 Britney Spears跟S.H.E同一天11/12這周六發行精選集 現在電視強打的megamix就有這首歌 還打的真的很剛剛好耶 這樣做有個弱點 就是聽那首歌時 總會讓人覺得S.H.E是在唱別人的歌 而不是唱屬於S.H.E的歌 別人聽的第一印象大多是 這是Everytime翻唱曲 而不是S.H.E的別說對不起 真的是有點不妥 但我還是期待S.H.E能突破這項弱點囉"

wah finally, gt someone push out the point ... hehe, i din know Britney is releasing her greatest hits in Taiwan also .. really need to thank this person. at least this fans is not those ... "blind" n "deaf" fans...

HAhaha you're lucky u didnt get kicked out laa even though ur point is very fair and neutral as a fan of music, but saying Cheap is a bit insulting la haha especially when ur in a FAN forum wo. Very gutsy ah girl! Though actually i dont really mind how britney is going to pieces with her image, but i dont think Everytime is a song for S.H.E, mainly becuz like what u say it's not original (but then they have sang cover versions of a lot of songs too), thus not showing off their creativity and originality as artists and well...everytime is so famous for its whiny, high pitched deh style, if anybody wans to resing it, they better sound unique lo.
