Namewee's new spoof on reality singing contest and a certain M'sian singer goes viral
KUALA LUMPUR: Local rapper-turned-filmmaker Namewee has social media buzzing again with the release of a new video.
This time around, a rather subdued and less controversial spoof on reality singing competitions and Malaysian singer, Shila Amzah.
In the six minute video titled ‘High Pitched', Namewee ‘performed’ on stage, belting out lyrics like ‘you love watching singers compete desperately for titles’ and ‘you love it when singers are struggling on stage’ - where he caustically poked fun at a certain mega popular reality singing contests in China, where Shila was first catapulted to fame and fast becoming a household name.
Clips of Sheila and dramatic reaction shots of audience and judges from the shows were also featured in the video.
The six-minute video had garnered over a staggering two million views on You Tube since it was published on the site on November 1.
Namawee gained popularity in 2007 after releasing a controversial song fused with the national anthem Negaraku, which had a strong anti-government undertone.
His frankness and notoriety almost certainly guarantees that any works boasting the 'Namewee stamp' will go under Censor Board scissors.
Unperturbed, Namewee went on to direct local hits including 'Nasi Lemak 2.0' and 'Hantu Gangster' and produce a string of satire videos touching on controversial issues in Malaysia.
Huuuu, tawaduknya para juri dia mendengar dn mengadili nyanyian sampai pejam2 mata nak hayati penyampaian. Sesuatu cara yg tak ada pada para juri M'sia.

One thing you need to know pasal singing competition dkt china, yang reality show semua ni, they have so many pertandingan nyanyian. So the producer akan buat apa saja utk naikkan rating. You tgk the audience, sampai pejam celik biji mata ala2 inzal je dok dengar contestant nyanyi, siap ada yang nangis2, yang nyanyi sama2, those audience dibayar okay utk act macam tu. Ini kan pula judgesnya yang mmg sah2 dibayar utk show.

Oh ye ke? I really tak tau kalau sampai begitu situasinya.
Memang macam tu laa kekdahnya. Kalau kita dkt msia ni bagi tiket free, lantak kau la nak tepuk tangan ker apa dlm dewan tu. Kalau kat china, penonton dia di bayar utk act menangis time dgr penyanyi nyanyi, then berlakon nyanyi sama2 dgn penuh jiwa gitu. U tengok je la video time shila masuk competition, u pay more attention to the audience then u boleh faham macam mana cara dia org
haha. firstly aku rasa dia edit2 video then masukkan jadi satu. sbb konon dia nyanyi utk the voice, tapi suara dia bkn suara nyanyi live. tu suara rakam, but kena admit la walaupun rakam sedap gak suara dia.
tapi mmg aku x suka tgk reality show china sbb nila. konon fefeeling memasing. haha.
