I was beginning to wonder what happened to the RoundTables...It was great hearing from 4 of the more interesting and popular members of the board.
With regards to Harmonik, I agree with H1. They obviously had better songs than the two they released. They got away with it, but I wouldn't advise future bands to do the same thing.
I think the guys missed NEGKREYOL's point when he brought up Harmonik's relationship with Rodney Noel, Joubert, etc. Yes, they're very talented, but they've gotten that XTRA boost because of their associations and that's indisputable, e.g. TV appearances, etc that has helped them break through a lot of the minutiae that usual new bands have to deal with. DOLA is a great example of a band that has talented musicians and a great album who can't seem to cross the threshold.
I thought KOMPARED was off when he brought up the lack of pressure that will be on Kenny with the (supposed) addition of Darbenz. If he didn't want pressure, he should have stayed with 509. Where's the guy's ambition to succeed and to prove his many doubters wrong! And it's never a good idea for an employee to bring in his own replacement. That's dumb!
I thought H1 was spot on when he said Kenny had taken great steps in delivering to live crowds. For Zenglen to bring in someone who will outshine him on a CD that HE SANG before he's been granted the opportunity can be construed as cruel and unusual punishment!
Gracia's take that Gazzman is a 2eme chanteur is a CLASSIC line! Gracia knows Gazzman is a lead singer, otherwise he would never bother to recognize Gazzman as his competitor. But there's no question that Arly's love songs far outshine Gazzman's upbeat one. As a competitor/trash talker extraordinaire, Gracia was right to hit him where he knows it would hurt! Kinda like 50 calling JaRule a "pop star." Good trash talkers tend to find a "pwen sansiv" that happens to be true. Plus it was not a dirty personal attack! now, It's up to Gazzman to respond in kind-without going out of bounds! CHALLENGE!!!!
I agree that the bro/sis relationship between manager Faby and Maestro David has been a problem and will continue to be a problem for other Krezi. The Roosevelt thing was one thing, but letting Delice walk was in error of judgement and an unfortunate display of having too much pride.
