Oh boo-hoo. Don’t have a hissy fit.

From above….
“ 4. Special effects: CGI can alter the color and intensity of light, changing the appearance of an actor’s face or body in a shot. It can also simulate environmental effects, like rain storms or cloudy skies. CGI can also age or de-age an actor in post-production.”

Are you the layman you speak of?

I think he took the Trump masterclass in negotiation.

Lots of people don't like jump scares. That's the same as saying they don't like suspense. A well-executed jump scare with a good build up, an atmospheric environment, perhaps a little misdirection and a satisfying payoff is a masterclass of tension and release.

Chilly Gonzales Pop Music Masterclass ("Shake It Off") has been added as a related post - related requested by ChaosEngine.

Yeah, I think it's pretty clear the Chilly isn't saying this is a bad thing, just a choice.

A true pop "masterclass" would not include a discussion of Taylor Swift.

If anyone needs a masterclass in Russian swearing, this is a pretty good start.

Hmmm. Surely this is more interesting as a talk? talks
He's a skilled musician but he takes an awful long time to do anything and then he doesn't totally blow you away.
Thing is, if I removed the recent UFO video which had, to be fair, some very impressive guitar work why should this stay in?
I'll remove for now but if you can convince me I'll put it back in - though that mean UFO getting in. And you know I don't like music sifts in Skillful


Yeah, don't worry about it. I'm just being a fanboy.

i skipped up and down that video and all I heard was " blah blah blah "

no worries.

So for the record, he apparently attended a performing arts high school, but "could not continue with any professional training because of his financial situation" (according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choi_Sung-Bong). So he is by no means a street urchin who had never sung before.

There was also a bit of a controversy because he apparently stated that he had been trained to sing in high school but it was edited out for television audiences. This would not be the first such occurrence, as recently on So You Think You Can Dance the choreography performed by two of the performers was directly lifted from another group (called Les Twins), and nonetheless praised for its originality - apparently the duo did credit their source, but it was edited out to make them appear more impressive.

I also learned from this research that apparently Susan Boyle had recorded a CD for charity before her appearance, and Paul Potts had been an amateur operatic singer who had taken a masterclass with Pavarotti.

For the inevitable cries of "hater" out there - I do not think that this diminishes their talent or achievement, or how tough this kid's life has clearly been. But people do not just turn into semi-professional opera singers by practicing in their rooms...

It was here, it got a lot of votes the first time around.
