It is often a norm for audiences to critcise and pass unneccessary comments regarding the professionalism and the techniques of the participant. Well, some people often argue," since you are so good, why don't you partipate?"
True enough, it often left the critics stumbled as they realised in terms of technique, they are way below the participant. However, does it mean that they have no right to comment? Definitely no.
Firstly, we paid to watch and they are paid to participate. In terms of the flow of money, we are jus like the boss and they are definitely the subordinates. Bosses like to talk and they have all the rights to comment whatever they dislike. Thus, we have the right.
Secondly, when we criticise them, it means that they are the centre of attention. Audiences care for them and thats why we comment heavily. Otherwise, would we even be bothered to open our mouth considering the fact that SIngaporeans hate to open their mouths?
Thirdly, if the audiences don criticise, it means the performances are perfect and as the quote goes, "nothing is perfect in this world" and so, we are going against the law of nature. Is this the right thing to do? No no and No.
Fourthly, praises are meant to motivate and critics are meant to spur improvement. At the end of the day, isn't improvement is what the participants are looking for? Well, we provide the sparks and is up to them if they are able to find the firewoods.
Well, life goes on with criticism and is great to have audiences passing negative remarks regarding urs performances! to be truthful!
