This is painful. Which really sucks bc I wanted to like this! When I saw the characters Sukki Singapore, the country's top burlesque performer, and Tabitha, their breakout star from Singapore Idol, I was pumped! Even if I didn't like the forced plots or another people, I was bound to enjoy their stories? Right? Nope. Not at all. These people are not all friends outside of this show. And right away it's the lie that is presented as truth that shines through. Trust ur audience, they know when u are being fooled. Then as the storyline progresses bots admitted that these people don't know each other real well. So when they invade each other's life and question their choices, it doesn't make sense. They just met. Everyone is asking questions that are obviously prompted by the producers, which lead the other people to be confused! After all, who cares if someone u just met thinks u should be honest with ur ex-girlfriend, plz hen u don't even know her well or the whole story! All of the girls go after Vinny and his ex-girlfriend, Christina's relationship. It's so bizarre. Vinny and Chistina obviously don't care and don't even really know the group, yet the amount of time that is spent discussing them is over-the-top! At first it made sense bc I thought they were all friends, so they had more info than we do. But nope! They know less! It's obvious that the producers made this a plot line no matter how much Vinny refuses to play along. Hen everyone goes to Sukki's burlesque shows and it just seems like no one likes it and even the few shots shown are lukewarm. I'm sure it's on purpose, but if not it's really weird then. The storyline they follow with her is so bizarre and boring compared to what it could have been. Hell, this could all be a documentary about her putting on a new modern type of hip hop burlesque show and how someone who comes from a culture that frowns on her choice of work immensely. But instead we see her go to start a long distance a boy from Minnesota. That doesn't even make sense! That screen time could have been used with better footage. She barely shares her story about why burlesque, and that's something we would really like to know more about. I just hate what a wasted storyline she is. Then the character of Tabitha is maybe going to redeem this show! Maybe we will see how her video gets filmed and be blown away with the desire to create and be creative. But when they start the video it's filming it's literally her laying lifeless lip syncing a song with a camera moving in and out towards her. The time spent trying to get an authentic video shot that expresses where she was at in her journey when she wrote this song, for a flower montage that we have seen with almost every other over produced artist. Yawn. And once again we r seeing another one of the main characters setting us up for some big creative released that is just anti-climatic. Those are just two examples of the moments that will let u down and are a missed opportunity to present this genre of talent and youth. We already have shows like this. I was hoping to learn about the culture and country ans up so Ming creative generation of Singapore. Instead I learned that this show wanted Singapore kardashian fame without understanding that it captured a group of influential influencers in a moment of time in a way that allowed us to see the vulnerability and talent of people that create such envy and high emotions. Love them or hate them, u feel something. This group just lacks any emotional investment from their cast and plots. They need to not copy what we already have and allow them to be authentic. So basically just skip this and go watch Westwood or Westside on Netflix about a group of singers doing a musical together. Now that's something with real people and a real plot!
