FRH Recording From Ear Mic Revealed
Netizen Criticized Singing as Worse than KTV
[2008.11.05]

There is a video clip of a Fahrenheit concert being widely circulated online. Interesting thing about this video clip is that it is very different from the clips of other concerts. It contains images from the concert but the sound is recorded through the ear-mic that they were wearing during the performance. In the video clip, although the four popular handsome guys danced hard, their poor singing abilities still led to a lot of laughter. Many netizen felt that after seeing this video clip, they realized the vast difference between what one sees on the surface and what is real. There are critical netizen who commented sarcastically that the singing ability of FRH does not even reach the level of an ordinary person singing KTV. In a certain Chinese forum, that video clip also generated great response. Some netizen analyzed that this performance is from a HIT FM gala in 2006. The method that FRH had used in the performance was to sing along with the song. In other words, what was being heard was a combination of both vocal soundtrack and live singing through the performer’s microphone. This is a method that is used to cover any sound flaws during a performance. Although to the audience at the scene, it would not sound any different from normal but the online video clip only contained the sound recorded through the ear-mic that the members of FRH were wearing. As a result, the video clip ended up with many "funny" moments. There are other netizen who analyzed that this video clip may be the work of internal staff and was put online to give netizen a laugh.
