So I did take part in the "I Just Wanna Sing" competition held at JP. Yesterday was the semi-finals. It is one of the first times I ever compete in a singing competition alone. Initially was still shrugging the idea of going, but decided to anyway.
The song I chose? "Xie Yi Shou Ge" by Shunzi. I liked this song because it's really nice to sing. As in, I like the fact that it's not really poppish kind of pop song, but rather something that sounds jazzy, easy-to-listen, and definitely a good song to express. And well, of course, trio sang it before and I loved it.
I have to admit, though, that I did not spend anytime trying to look for a proper song to sing for the semis. Probably because I'm already half-hearted about going on this competition. To me, it means nothing to me, probably. I wasn't in the mood initially cos I thought peng didn't get in. So actually, I was a bit affected by it. But of cos I didn't mention this to anyone. But now the competition's over, it does not matter anymore.
I remember the first thing I did when I heard about this competition was to call peng. I guess it's just I know it's his kind of thing. Free registeration. And held in JP some more. Hahaha. Who's a more better choice? Yeah. Wanted to join with him, as well as my first ever public competition as a solo singer. I went through the qualifying round and moved on to the semi-finals round. Peng didn't receive any sms so we thought he didn't get in. Actually I strongly doubt that. He should have got in. And so, on the day of my semis, which was yesterday, I checked with the host and found out that he was in the competition! They couldn't contact him because they called the wrong number. =.= Nevertheless, I was so excited for him. I knew he would be in.
So what's the verdict then? I didn't make it to the finals. Here's the judges' comments..
1)I sounded too soft. Couldn't hear what I'm singing.
2)Attire too casual. Others look like they want it more than I do.
I have to agree with the 2nd one though. I didn't bother to dress up much although it's due to some other reason. But yeah, to me, I just thought that I should probably wear something comfortable. At least it wasn't sloppy. Anyway the competition is "I Just Wanna Sing" what. Isn't it all about singing only?! I just didn't bother to dress up like some teenage wannabe la. I guess that just wasn't my intention.
I wanted to complain about the first comment. I really thought I did try to sing out loud. Initially, I was still wondering if it's because my voice has not "opened" or something. But then, a mic's supposed to amplify your voice right?! I seriously DO NOT believe I'm singing softly. And today's finals just proved my point. The sound system was so much better.
Anyway, was really excited for peng for making to the finals. I was there to witness the whole show as well. There were some strong contenders among the top 10 but I just knew he would clinch a title. So yup, am really happy to know that he got 2nd. Though I thought his performance was much much better than the one who got 1st.
Whatever it is, I'm proud of you, my friend. =)
Nevertheless, big thanks to elaine, qianying and of cos dearie, who came down to support me!
To dearie bun, I mean what I said! It doesn't matter that I didn't get in. I am already happy to know that you are there for me. *LOVE LOVE* =)
