fall down of estrange??

aaaaaaaa

its really been awhile since my last post :P

but since i can go online again, i think i'll write bout estranged's (pelik) performance here last nite

b4 goin to the performance part, let me give a brief intro of how i knew estranged

think it was back in 2003 or 04..cant remember but i think i 1st see them performing at rock the world

at that time their song 'velocity' just hit the radio stations (hitz.fm mostly at that time)

mase that song baru released, i can't accept the fact that malaysian musician could produce this level of music (apart from disagree which i'll probably write bout in my next post)

cam biase la kan, when u hear a great local band's song on the radio, mesti la cant wait to see them live :P

so kene pulak they are performing in rock the world at the end of that year..of course la pegi tgk :D

at that time, jujur aku cakap their performance didn't disappoint me as they performed their songs well with full of energy

but i guess that is just the past

after that performance at rock the world, their song 'itu kamu' became famous and since that they started to perform malay songs

for those malaysians who still dont know bout 'itu kamu' (which i think there's none) it is a love song. to me the song is quite good coz its a malay song with their own twist which really made a difference in malay songs. the song is really their hit for a long....

.....long time.. and i mean LONG as in still-being-a-hit-after-several-years long! even if the song is really something, you still get bored after hearing it for several years  almost everywhere that you go. maybe because of the success that they feel on this particular song, they produced more malay songs

frankly speaking, i was not that shocked to see them releasing another malay single because of the success of 'itu kamu' maybe..but i was honestly disappointed with them because i really think with the right marketing strategy, their english songs can really go further than 'itu kamu' has ever been. eh i forgot to mention the new single's title - 'yang pernah' if i'm not mistaken la..that's the result that i get when googling for it :D

when i hear this song, not shocked..disappointed..and then shocked pulak..lol..coz this song kinda bring their true style in a malay song - sounds kinda like their english songs, but using malay words :P

dem lost in this post..back to main topic, their perfomance here last night (panjang gile aku intro derang).. honestly i went to the talent search to see them perform as its been a while since i last saw them performing..even a while since i've been to a live performance lol

their 1st song..as expected..a malay song..dunno the title though..haha..the song doesn't show their style at all..not the estrange song that i know..maybe this is the effect of 'itu kamu' on their side..producing malay songs searching for the 'itu kamu' in each of them..come on guys..i think you need to just stay with what you got and improve on that..

2nd song.. their latest single laa.. 'yang pernah' - dems..what a waste on such a great song..they really torn their own song apart from that performance..the music of the recorded version was smart haram to me but when they performed it yesterday.. *sigh* all their instruments sounded like everything was broken.. more towards loud noise rather than music to me

3rd song..at first they said that they're bored of the song..THANK GOD THEY FELT THAT WAY TOO was what i thought at first when they said that.. but tadaaaa! their 3rd song was itu...*wait for it*... *wait for it*.... KAMU~!! (gile barney ayat) but as the sad song that it has already been..it was not that lagendary anymore

4th song..an english song..dunno the name but this is the best song that they can give me for the night.. got their own style on that song..great music

dems that was a load of crap for a single performance..lol

k, til nex taim
