I Say What I Like: Support your local music scene?

Advert has playin in our local radio for quite a while now saying
we should support our local artist and listen to more Malaysian songs.

Guess what? I totally agree! We should support Malaysian artist. We have so many good talents in the industry such as Jaclyn Victor our first Malaysian Idol, Danell Lee our second Malaysian Idol, Suki our One in a million winner.Those the are winners of talent competitions so maybe they are more popular. If you are more femiliar with local music then you may know Jason Lo, Awie, Reshmonu,Ning Baizura, Misha Omar and who will not know Dato' Siti Nurhaliza binti Tarudin!!See we have the talent but why are they not going places and we are not supporting. I say the problem lies on both parties. The we as listeners and the artist themselves.

We as listeners would rather spend money on buying "original" CD of artist from overseas.Then you guys buy "pirated" CD of our local artist. Then say I buy and listen what!!Dont you know when you buy pirated stuff not a penny goes to the artist or anybody thatis affiliated with the production. They spend hours and lots of money to make music for us andwhat we do... We literally steal it. That is the problem with us. When we dont support they dont have funds to make more music.

Then there is the artist. I was watching Hits.tv the other days thinking I should change from Mtv to some local channel.
Then I was like >>> O.O WTF!!! Now I know why I never watch Hits.tv. I cant bare the watch this. Malaysian tryin to go Hip Hop when they are so not. Tryin to rap when itsso so… Oh my.. The music video is such a cheap… they try to get hot girls dancing but they cut the dancers when they are moving too much. Tryin to be what? Korn? Slipknot? Shouting like crazy. PLEASE STOP!!! This is the problem what Malaysian industry. Don’t try to be something you are not. It makes it all so corny! Stick to the universal pop or ballad. Something everyone enjoys.You want proof listen to songs from Siti Nurhaliza you will listen to
love songs ballads. That is why she can go so far. Talent with a great song. After all the thought rush trough my mind a spark of hope. A song call “here in my home” by collaboration of Malaysian artist. I was like YES that is it! That is the hope! I searched it on YouTubeand I posted a comment saying.

“OK I dont care what people say. This is a good Malaysian production. The song is nice and all Malaysian artists are collaborating despite race and religion. This is something I like to see and here Malaysian artist do instate of copyin the westside and tryin to be something they are not. They try to do Hip Hop and Rap, Heavy metal is just not original! This is great. I give it 5 stars!” So as a conclusion, Malaysian do have the talent but use that talent for good. When artist starts to make better music and we listeners start to support and buy their products to fund then to continue to make great music. Malaysian music industry will rise.

Below is the “here in my home” song which I told you about.

Here are some songs from Malaysian artist that I like. Seriously have a listen
when an open mind and I am sure you'll like it.
