ST, please don’t send rookies to cover big musical events

I can’t believe Straits Times didn’t mention Jason Mraz AT ALL in their review of Singfest. Someone seriously needs a refreshment lesson on what is considered ‘newsworthy’. The insane amount of YouTube videos and comments related to Mraz’s performance is enough to blow all the other artistes out of the water. I’m glad at least both TODAY and My Paper had the basic decency to write, “Jason Mraz … had most of the revellers up on their feet”, “Jason Mraz’s fabulous live set would have been a better opener for Keys…” (Although I sorely disagree on him needing to open for anyone, even for Keys..because he clearly outperformed her. Star billing or the amount of Grammy awards don’t mean everything), and “Jason Mraz got the crowd going..singing every word of his latest hit I’m Yours…” Good job, Dzulkarnain Andra and Jill Alphonso. Just for mentioning Jason Mraz, I’m listing your names as a reward so that you will be indexed eternally on search machines. At least you are sharp enough to realise what actually went on, and I’m sure you’ll have a sparkling journalistic career ahead.
