Slacks in the Local Entertainment Industry

Our local entertainment industry is facing a major downturn that,indirectly,permits foreign musicians and composers to make their big ways with gigantic hits into the screen. Our very own artists are losing out to these extra-creative beings.A lot of current hits are composed by mostly Indonesian musicians.This scenario has allocated more spaces and rooms for the foreign performers to outshine our locals and draw more dots in the map of our local musical industry.The major question posed here is WHY?Are our very own composers lack of creativity?Are we short of talented artists?Perhaps, the answer is YES.Based on my personal observation,Malaysia does not really possess a long list of talented and born singers.Undeniably, the number of new artists is increasing and mushrooming but the potential ones are very few lots.I shortlist here some evergreen singers with their amazing vocals that may lure the audience and glue them to the seats; SHARIFAH AINI,KHATIJAH IBRAHIM,AISYAH,SHEILA MAJID,NORA,CT NURHALIZA,JACLYN VICTOR,ANUAR ZAIN,JAMAL ABDILLAH&FAIZAL TAHIR.It's rather difficult to find replacement for all these great vocalists.Who to blame?I'd say that all workers in this industry will have to find a formula and mechanism to bring back the lights in the industry.We need a torch, not a torture!
