about the open letter to Tiara by hafiz's fans

referring to the comment posted here and the posting here, i am on my own accord would like to answer it, I am not answering this on behalf of Tiara but as myself a big fan of AF and Hafiz and as someone who understand big TV production structures as AF.

 

I pity you guys, i pity because obviously there are a lot more we need to educate people.

 

first of all, i know Tiara, your statement that she doesn’t do her homework really hurts me because i have work with/for her since 2004 and I know that she the most diligent person around...

and if you are a true AF fans, after 7th season, by now you should understand the procedure of getting the songs onto the list... again and again, the principal and the faculty were bombarded with accusation of giving the wrong song to the students, i must stress it here, they have no control over the song list! not that they are a puppets but doing a national TV shows like this, getting a song onto the list itself is a task as it involves copyrights and such and this is  big production with multi level and layers.

the faculty are as surprise as the kids face you see when they get the songs as they themselves only know about what song were given to the students minutes before they went into the session. the challenge are not just on the kids but also onto them and evidently there are tested with accusations by fans that they are not doing their work when what you see on TV are only 1% of their hard work,

i know of a faculty member who work after hours everyday giving tuition to the kids after the cameras and operation shuts down for the day. i know of a faculty members who cant sleep worrying about the kids's new assignment and went in to work as professional as she is. i know a faculty members who sacrifice a lot of time doing extra work on her off days to make sure the kids perform well every week and it broke their heart to see the kids got voted out and i am sure it will break their heart to read your comments here too. ( i know they do read)

and i am sure AF production team choosed this song for Hafiz for a very valid good reason, as a singer and a coach myself, i would see this as a challenge for hafiz as as a viewer i have yet seen hafiz being challenge before, he has been in his safe zone elements before and to me he peaked too soon. and he stays there ever since... i want to see hafiz soar! like akim like aril like aishah who keeps on climbing the charts with improvements. Look at Zahid in season2, yes he gotbthe same comment that Rap rong are not for competition but look at zahid after that! He found his niche in his forte, rap and hip hop and he was good at it… I thought the assignment given to Hafiz this week was rightly put as a challenge

i am so with Anonymous who wrote the comment at 11.45am april 21 he/she hit the jackpot with her/his comment. if hafiz did well and i am sure he will... i am sure you wont be writing a thank you notes to the faculty because now you know it is not their choice! datin seri principal is the principal ... her task is to make sure whatever challenge the students and the FACULTY were given were to be carried out perfectly and i know she did a damned good job at it with evidences so clear every weekly concert!

 

Challenge is good and we want to see hafiz cemerlang and i am sure he will...

 

again I must stress this is my personal opinion as it breaks my heart to see hard work went unnoticed!
