The Question.

Opportunies arise once the cameraman signals. The searing lights of stardom, of fame, of being aired in the television. No matter how much efforts it will take you, you’d still go that way. Money is the prime reason for your visit, fame could be your second. Third would be your greetings, and finally, there goes the experience you wanted to taste from some noontime show.

I’ve watched you yesterday at a classmate’s house. I’ve seen how you exaggerated your moves, your dance, plus with the nonsense lyrics. You wanted to be praised, to be ridiculed, but you don’t care.

This would be an opinion of an average citizen, a citizen concerned.

Enlighten me. Expound the arrays of reason behind Wowowee. There are certain things I cannot understand. One, why people go to that show and dance as if there’s no one watching? Two, is it because the present economy of our country stimulated them to join a noontime show rather than choosing alternatives for a better life? Three, have they reached their limits, and told themselves that their lives were miserable enough to have options? Four, am I saying this because somehow, I still have money to use?

Maybe. I think the third question is correct. Nasasabi ko ito dahil hindi ko pa nararanasan ang naranasan nila. Yung hirap, yung kawalan ng pag-asa sa buhay. 

But well, not all contestants were there for money. They want to enjoy life by singing Boom Tarat Tarat, and dance. There are others who dance for Willie to recognize them. Fun is there. Entertainment is there. And that’s all that matters. That show serves to entertain them and us, viewers. So why am I meddling with their affairs?

No, I have nothing against the show. You may hate this post, or hate me for this post. But before you hate me, let me feel your reasons. Explain, in the comment section. Thanks a lot.

And oh, I’m feeling normal with the song. Neutral. Not good, though not bad at all. But I’m still deciphering the meaning of the lyrics.
