It Has Been A While
Well, finally updated my blog, after exactly one month. =D
This week sure was a busy one.. 3 different competitions auditions coming up at the same time. Just a few weeks ago, i was pondering which competitions should i commit if both of them have an audition on the same date. I won't have to make a choice now.
Start of with friday. I went to take part in this small competition in my hometown. Kovan Superstar. Haha. Ok. I joined it cause Ivan wanted to have someone else to go with him. I asked him to take part in it cause he needs the experience if he gets into Singapore Idol 3..
Well, we both did get through to the semi finals.. Quite a breeze. Hehe.. Guess I'm getting very used to standing on stage.. But till now, i have never been able to do a splendid performance " by my own standard ".. No idea why, my throat is always acting slightly funny..
Well, next competition I'm talking about is, Singapore Idol 3. YEah! I made it through the first round. Ok, its just the first round. Nothing much to be proud of. I mean if you intend to go far in the competition, you should believe and know very well, you have to get through the first round with ease.. Haha, lucky me, i didn't queue up for it either. The sun was too hot for me, and i just can't queue for hours. I will go crazy.. So i didn't join those midnight queues or "under the hot sun queue"... A real kudos to those who did, their dedication.. In fact, i was stressing myself, thinking which competition to join.. It was between Singapore Idol 3, or 星光5 Singapore PK team.. Well, i kept praying for an answer. =P Today, i got it. Hoho, I was in the semi finals for the PK competition today, but was disappointed with the way they base their judging criteria.. They said matter of factly that X-Factor is a very important point of their judging opinions.. Well, to me.. This is a PK competition.. I would expect the judges to focus more on the vocal capabilities than the way we dress or look..
( IF I HAD KNOWN I WON'T HAVE GONE IN A PLAIN SWEATER JACKET!! ) Or maybe i just don't have the X-Factor. Which i would really like to disagree with.. Haha. They had to select 20 for the finals, out of the 75 semi finalists.. It seem pretty easy for me to slip into the 20. But i guess plain me, missed it. Instead someone who sings half the lyrics wrong got in.. With another 10 ppl from previous TV shows competitions. Like, Carrie and Diya from Project Superstar. Sly from Singapore Idol. Some project superstar finalist, and winner, like Huang Zhiyang.. ANd blah blah blah.. So its pretty much, made good for tv ratings contest. Haha. Ok, some of them were good, but really.. I doubt some of their abilities.. I do see Carrie going to Taiwan to PK though. She sure looks like the real deal.. JIAYOU!
Ok, another small competition coming up, ONE LOVE GOT TALENT! Yeah. Its actually a church event. Open to everyone and anyone. As long as you got talent, you can take part in it. The prize is 1.5k if i'm not wrong. I always forget the prizes, unless i take it. Haha.
So now, i currently have 3 competitions this month.. Continuing my Singapore Idol 3 journey and 2 lower scale competitions! WOoHoo!
PS: Dudes with whom i had 麻辣火锅 yesterday! It didn't really affect my vocals.. Ok.. Maybe just a little bit hoarse. Hahaha..
