Who watched Mari Menari? Well, i don’t. Nope, actually i watched it few hours ago. So, my very first thought came out of my mind was, it’s quite similar to Sehati Berdansa.
From my point of view, Sehati Berdansa was such a waste of time, but they have two things that make it quite relevant to watch. First, they have Malaysian Celebrities as participants. Second, they make the show as a charity show (even though i think it is not appropriate).
But, Mari Menari doesn’t have both. So, if i said Sehati Berdansa was such a waste of time, Mari Menari even worse. Why should i waste my time watching an amateur dancing while i can watch Do You Think You Can Dance which was far more interesting? You see, that is the different between reality show in Malaysia and in USA. We used the same theme, singing or dancing, but the talent produced are so different.
In Malaysia, the products produced by reality show are more based on popularity (jambu face) rather than talent. So, you can see why most of them will magically disappear after the show end. While in US, the talent survive longer because they do have an amazing talent beside their cool style.
Some will say, our country way too small from their country, so, we don’t have enough talent to produce. So, if we don’t have enough talent, why do we produce way too many reality shows based on the same theme? Just based on singing, we have AF, Mentor, One in a million, My Star LG and a few more. Do we really need that much singer in our industry? Does these ‘star’ actually help our dying music industry? I don’t think so. I rather listen to indie’s...
Why don’t we make more reality shows with our own image? Imam Muda was a success. Even foreign television broadcast was attracted to come and interviewed the participants of this reality show.
Sometimes we thought our cultures are so “outdated” and we try to catch-up by following western culture, but what we don’t know are the fact that a lot of western peoples are amazed by our unique cultures which is ashamed by it’s own peoples.
