This is the second report on the abovementioned singing competition. I had very little time on Sunday so I could only manage a few photographs. Chosen from over 500 contestants, these 100 contestants have much better calibre and are also much more confident onstage. Let's get on with what I have then and see how some of them did on Sunday afternoon.
One of the contestants whom I recalled singing quite confidently. I could not remember what he did for his special talent performance but he was doing quite alright. Then again, there were over 90 others still waiting to strut their stuff onstage. It's definitely more competitive than Saturday.
This contestant did a rap for his special talent performance. Quite alright but the hat actually took away most of his facial frontage and he looked a little too shabby for a qualifying round contestant.
This photo was taken just when I reached the venue of the auditions. Similar to Sat's auditions, the contestants had to bake in the hot sun as they were queuing for their registration confirmation. It was even hotter than Saturday and most of them were trying to hide under the shade of their lyrics sheets.
I like the courage and initiative of this contestant who could make the onsite decision to abandon the microphone which she deemed not appropriate for her special dance item. Confidence was there and she knew her moves by heart. Most unfortunate that there was no music accompaniment or the dance would be much hotter.
About five contestants into the auditions, came a senior-looking man with a small entourage. Most of the people onsite were concentrating on the performances and did not notice his entry but I recognized him immediately. This guy is actually one of the big-shots in the music and media industry but the organizers were not observant enough to announce the arrival of the surprise VIP onsite. He left with his retinue after watching about four contestants.
This guy would have probably been very stressed out if he realized a media mogul was watching him downstage. I believe he was the one who mimicked the playing of er-hu using his voice and it sounded quite fun and realistic indeed.
I think this was the contestant who sang offkey during his attempt at a very difficult song with a crescending falsetto portion. He was too ambitious to showcase but ended up exposing his weakness instead. I definitely think he should have picked a slightly more manageable song.
This is Khim Ng from Campus Superstars Season I. At the time of this post, it is confirmed that Khim did not make it through the second round. The reason - she faltered at the final part of her second song by hesitating and thus losing momentum of her second song. Aiya, a pity.
I must really comment on his shirt, which looked really weird and out of place. However, his special talent performance of imitating Fei Yu Qing and even rising up to the challenge of the judges to sing a key higher than he prepared won applause and appreciation for his daring stunt.That is all I have because I had to rush off to work again. As of the time of publishing this post, it is confirmed that Huang Zhiyang (Campus Superstars Season 1), Yvonne Chua (Campus Superstars Season 1), Sugianto (Project Superstars Season 1) have successfully made it through and are slated to go to Taiwan for the full competition! Hurray! I have not gotten the full list yet because there is still some confusion going on. Will update once there is some official confirmation of all the names of the people who made it through Sunday's auditions.
Song Recommendation For Feb 2008: Love Song By 方大同
I found this song from Kewei's blog and I listened to it twice. Hey Kewei! Saw you at the qualifying round auditions venue yesterday but was too busy taking photos to say hello.
I like it. Especially the way how the singer varies how the lines end. The jazzy feel is very comfortable to the ears. I am going to try and learn this challenging song. It will take a while though but it's worth the effort. Hope everyone enjoys the song as much as I do too! =)
我写了这首歌 是一首简单歌

我写了这首歌 是一首简单歌
不复杂也不难唱的那一种歌
这不是那种 只剩下那钢琴的歌
也不是那种 不能只是朋友的歌
这不是那种 两个人的故事写在一本小说
那小说里 有谁会在花田里犯了错
这就是一首写给你听的一个
Love song
一直想写一首 Love song
你给了我一首 Love song
那DJ会播放 这也许会上榜
如果我只想写出一首 Love song
一直想写一首 Love song
你给了我一首 Love song
你就像那夏天的凉风
吹过我的面孔 真想飞
在我心底 你就是我的 Yay
想说爱你
我写了这首歌 是一首简单歌
不复杂也不难唱的那一种歌
这不是那种童话里会遇见的歌
也不是那种真真切切爱我的歌
这不是那种 两个人的故事写在一本小说
那小说里有谁陪在看流星在降落
这就是一首写给你听的一个
Love song
一直想写一首 Love song
你给了我一首 Love song
那DJ会播放 这也许会上榜
如果我只想写出一首 Love song
一直想写一首 Love song
你给了我一首 Love song
你就像那夏天的凉风
吹过我的面孔 真想飞
在我心底 你就是我的
想说爱你
如果你是一幅画 你会是最珍贵的一幅画
如果那画家是梵高的话
有何贵人前来又献花 个个向你求嫁
梵高他说你们都该回家
如果你是melody 就是最动听
所有的人都会跟着你起唱
就算在夜晚你的心太亮
让我忘了月亮代表我的 (Love song)
Love~~~你给了我一首 Love song
那DJ会播放 这也许会上榜
如果我只想写出一首 Love song
一直想写一首 Love song
你给了我一首 Love ~~
吹过我的面孔 真想飞
在我心底 你就是我的
想说爱你
