music ni adalah universal, music of the forest..hanya orang2 tertentu yang mendengarnya diseluruh dunia.ya munkin bukan ini yang dicari oleh David.Namun saya harap sada borneo sentiasa maju..buatkan ia terkenal diseluruh dunia setanding music tradisi cina,jepun dan native red Indian.

[@itsodyzseus7920]

jangan gaduh2 ... Pulau Borneo terdiri Dari Sarawak , Sabah , Brunei Dan Kalimantan Indonesia ... Kita bersaudara ... yang Cetus provoke mereka yang di luar pulau Borneo ... THIS IS BORNEO !!!!

[@hiatuslife]

i actually enjoyed listening to Sada Borneo's music. I guess it is an Asian thing. David and Melanie are coming from western backgrounds and so do perhaps their definition of what "world class" is. (I'm Filipino).

[@anitatahir-parker9353]

hiatus finally! someone with sense!

[@zarulizham97]

trueee... sada borneo came to showing their combination of traditional and modern but david way too serious in asking them to bring up the traditional elements. btw, very enjoyed perfomance. This is Asia

[@kamarulanwar6240]

Agree

[@BradyHuangful]

Not necessarily an Asian thing. This was flat compared to their audition. The music might be soothing, but it's not what I call "World Class" either. Weren't Triqstar and Khusugtun Asian enough in their peformances? Did David Foster and Melanie C show any hint of dislike towards them? No.

[@thewatcher3349]

hiatus yeah

[@nazmimohd7711]

I don't understand what david foster think bout it.. this is Asia land.. Asia must show what Asia have! David and Melanie are boringggggggg

[@gudangbokepp3207]

[@calmly7798]

No, he's right, they should use more traditional instrument instead of the modern one, if they're not interested they wouldn't be accepting their audition in the first place, use your mind

[@east_and_west_not_like_EW]

David is deaf

[@blueblazerable]

Borneo is the only island in the world that is shared by 3 countries (Brunei, Malaysia and indonesia) . thats what i have learned in my asian history class. Please dont start arguments here - From sada borneo filipino fan :))

[@DarkR0ze]

John Joshua This would be messy when each country try to claim land rights. :(

[@nigelwee]

DarkR0ze It's not messy at all, in fact we live in great harmony sharing our culture and rainforest with one another. It's quite the peaceful island and always nice when you meet a fellow Bornean. Sada Borneo is doing well representing our island, if you like this, pop by and check out the Rainforest World Music Festival over here happening in August. Good fun and music.

[@whiteycat]

David Foster hears too much piano

[@haydiejurm]

There's no piano on that stage!

[@hiatuslife]

Mohd Tamizi I think that is exactly holyinfantry999's point.

[@crazyfake1998]

I think he wants pure natural music without the guitars and the drums

[@F0r3v3rL0v3Y0u]

The climax part went wrong :( The modern instruments' sound are too loud until it covered all the sape's sound :( Sape's sound should be the main but the guitar and bass guitar took the place :( They should play the guitar and bass guitar softer. I think this is what David means

[@Lilyglitch1]

Me too

[@dewsesable]

This kind of music is what i personally call tranquil music.. it really soothes you and it feels really greay listening to it.. but i do agree with david.. its not world class.. its just something you want to casually listen to qhen you want to go to sleep.. their audition performance was better.. anyway goodluck guys.. crank it up a notch and you might just become world class tranquil mudic artist..

[@seagull0410]

The melody is so beautiful! It's not only about the performance but it's also about your soul. Good job guys! No matter what they said, I really enjoyed it. From Viet Nam :)

[@santalib930]

This is what we call being as a Asian on Asian got talent stage!... brings our culture to the world stage... Like dance, music, martial art but make it contemperory. We asian so we should proud with our culture, man. If not us (Asian) who else?

I like their performance I'm from Malaysia too its almost rare to hear this kind of music i would've push the golden buzzer if i could

[@rantaslibas2332]

David is not Asian so He doesn't know the Asian cultures. I think David must be out to be judge for that competition. Of course He said "NO" with the culture because he does not have the culture.

[@kishinumaayumi]

tonieflca perindu151173 but at the same time, it's also good to have an outsiders point of view, no?

[@hsiaying3161]

RANTAS LIBAS I don't agree. if he doesn't understand culture why would the team with Mongolian singers get into the finals? he wanted more. I agree with him, this performance was great, but compared to their first performance this one just doesn't meet up

The music is soo calm and exotic and beautiful at the same time. I love how they mix a little bit of bass and traditional music.

[@IslandHover]

[@alankay5215]

Orang Asia je yg akan paham apa yg cuba disampaikan oleh Sada Borneo , sebab Asia banyak adat dan budaya . GOOD JOB sada borneo !

[@kerayzey]

To Indonesian people, those instruments are parts of heritage of Dayak from Sarawak. It's not been made up yesterday. I'm sure Indonesia has Dayak people there too, and have their own versions of these instrument & style of play. Like many things in Southeast Asia, they some that bound to have some similarities. Why? Because we're neighbours. Migration of people & culture happened ages ago, and will always happen. Remember, international borders are imaginary lines created by governments to differentiate us. Sarawak, Sabah, Kalimantan & Brunei are actually people of the same island. Maybe some day, if we cooperate, we may secede from the existing government and form one new nation, that is Borneo. Wouldn't that be nice?

[@Kurolicious]

I just wanna say that I loved it 💕

[@redboyzone]

Im proud of u Sada Borneo. . Sarawakian

[@kamsan323]

For my indonesian brothers and sisters who always and always gave negative comments about this rather than learn more Geography subject in class. Borneo is part of Malaysia (Sarawak & Sabah) and Indonesia (Kalimantan). They are from Malaysia, the same ethic with people in Kalimantan that share the same culture bcoz they are also Borneo people. Stop talking rubbish talling that this is Indonesia culture. THIS IS OUR CULTURE THAT WE SHOULD TOGETHER PROUND OF. Next time, don't sleep in Geography class. LOVE, your Malaysian friend. * kita serumpun.

Sada Borneo I'm dayak in borneo and indonesian. I'm proud of you because upbring our culture to the world. If you want hear some advice for your next performance, make some themes. Not only music. Bring some issues that happens in borneo like deforestation and animal cruelty "orangutans". I think that will touch the world.

[@zarulizham97]

they were good. Just maybe they dont have so much time to practice a new music for semis. i think to create some kind of those musics with combination of traditional instruments and modern need a very tough work. no matter what Sada borneo, keep going! I believe one day your instrumental songs will be a phenomenon

[@sharulazlan9742]

Come on judge they just brought a new music combination. It wonderful music actually Good job sada berneo make Malaysiaan proud.

[@aikenonato8043]

SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT MUSIC-SCORE FOR A GREAT MOVIE...

[@ian-nator2685]

I'm against the antiquated idea that both David Foster and Melanie B. have that music, be it traditional or modern, should remain so. Music should change, merge with other genres or add new additions because Music isn't material. It flows and any attempt to prevent this "average" act from doing so so that it may be "world class" is just nonsensical.

Hallan is my good friend! I knew how his first performance was (I have the picture). I vote "Sada Borneo" is not just for Hallan and not because of the group's name convey "Borneo", where I come from, as their group identity. But because I really..really..love the music! I disagree with David, because only Asians know the value of their own music.

Very relaxing..... Ang galing galing...... This time i dont agree with david's comment....

[@jllovit]

I liked it. But I don't have the know-how on whether that frontman's instrument was played perfectly... because, correct me if I'm wrong, I think he hit some dead notes quite a few times... especially when David buzzed. Or did he hit the dead notes intentionally to add syncopation to the tune? I guess that kinda broke his rhythm. But I love this band. More power to these guys. Yeah, David, you ruined the experience for everybody, man! Why couldn't you just have let them play it through with no interruption? I'm sure you'd be miffed if someone does that when you play a piece.

[@Kira-gl8eg]

Why didn't you like it? It's very calming. Do you think pop and rock or anything is the only music can be world class?!! Calming and soothing music like this deserve world attention!

Okay.. I listened to the number once again and I think the instruments were not 100% tuned evenly. The bass was off especially during the last part. But I really like Sada Borneo. I love their theme and fusion. I hope they make it to the finals.
