His Jangled Musical Notes

There's this notoriety in networks NE to make its popular stars do something else that is not in their line of expertise. To showcase them right away in public without utmost preparation becomes a major embarrassment especially for the stars concerned.

For example, when a star ST becomes very popular via a hit teleserye, you can already predict what the next move of NE would be: have the star record a song or even an album without ample amount of preparation. Or it can be the other way around: the popular winner in a singing contest is made to star  in a teleserye even if ST can barely act at all, or is not yet ready for it. It is okay to be multi-talented, but to rub these ill-prepared ST's in on the public's conciousness is really punishing both for the stars and the viewing public.

During a recent event in a big mall, a popular and talented actor TA was there to promote his album. Expectedly, a lot of people went to see and hear him sing live. He sang a cut from his album before a very enthusiastic audience. However, midway into the song, TA was not able to hold his own as he sang out-of-tune. The audience was tolerant for a while and even showed polite appreciation. 

However as TA was at it, his singing went haywire and the polite crowd became unforgiving this time. TA did not expect what was forthcoming – he was booed right then and there! Shocked and embarrassed, TA retreated backstage as soon as he finished his number. Indeed – what a tense number!
