(Note: The (Me:...) u'll see in between the articles are the author's note, the one who pasted this article in her fanfic..)
The New Paper
13th May 2004
5566 has more energy
Taiwanese pop group Energy used to claim that it is the only group that focuses solely on singing and dancing.
Not anymore. Nowadays, the four chaps have also ventured into the acting and hosting arena.
5C Vending Machne is its maiden effort at hosting a variety show, and judging by the first two episodes, Energy still have alot to learn from fellow pop group 5566. (Me: KILL ME! Who wants Energy to wear bikinis and prance around?!?)
While the guys of 5566 are zany, spontaneous and entertaining, Energy simply lacks, well energy.
The awkward title of the show makes little sense.
Sure, the young chaps - Milk, Penny, Ady and Joe - are very good to look at.
But they are not very interesting, confined behind a counter and taking turns to make small talk with their guests.
The only segment worth watching is "Go To School", which sees the guys taking up different challenges in Taiwan's more quirky campuses.
The first espisode saw Penny and Milk learning the cha-cha, which was fun to watch.
But the follow-up, which saw Joe competing with an unfamiliar male host to give two fashion students a drastic make-over was totally lame.
I'd rather tune in to 5566's Fight Club (me: And I will rather die...) for the silly antics of Tony, Zax, Sam and Jason, as they team up and fight it out in various challenges.
At least they make me laugh. (me: And make me wanna die young...) And that's all I'm looking for.
INFURIATED? ANGRY? REPLUSED? FELT INJUSTICE FOR ENERGY
don't fret...
send an email to her...

like i did...
(This part is what she wrote in her email of complain..)
I refer to your article on May 13, "5566 has more energy".I would like to point out some things to enlighten you. I am absolutely horrified at the fact that you commented on the show even without any background knowledge. If you had watch through the show carefully, you would have known that the title was not 5C Vending Machine but 5 degree Fun Vending Machine. If you had some common knowledge, you would know that 5 degree Celsius is the temperature that food is most freshly kept which imply that this show is of fresh stuff.
Energy had done extremely well for a newbie in this hosting scene and this is the first time they are hosting on their own, you should not have put them down by saying that they are "totally lame" or "not very interesting", they had tried their best and I am confident that they would improve. There is also some untruths in it, Energy has never claimed that they the only group that focuses solely on singing and dancing. Even so, it is good for them to try new stuff.
On the other hand, I have never been taken in by 5566 before, if you have a fetish for guys acting gay and cross-dressing, I am sure you would enjoy the show. Furthermore, I do not enjoy shows that do nothing but to boast their capabilities, even when it is not humourous at all, they tend to make a fool out of themselves and laugh at nothing worth laughing.
I hope that your commentary is really an unbiased account of what you really think because majority of us sane watchers out there seem to have lots of conficting views to what you have to say on majority of your this and other commentaries
Sincerely,
A sane TV watcher
(More comments abt the article frm the author..)
TIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME SPH MEDIAWORKS IS BIAS!
They left out energy when they reported the golden melody awards in the straits time...

My personal comments... NO COMMENT.. We see this everyday, so why bother? I feel like asking the author to shut up! Because her email of complain will only lead the reporter to write another article saying that ENERGY fans are.. erm.. how do we put it? 没家教？I dunno.. Smthg like that lah.. Chey.. I dunno lah..
Later going to watch 5度C FUN卖机.. Hmph! It's a nice show OK!
