2nd Qualifier for Let's Challenge - May 06

It was the 2nd qualifiers for Let's Challenge - May 06 last night, and we added yet another twist to this round of competition (our management is really fresh with ideas ya? always coming up with new challenges to test the contestants). This time round, the contestants have to sing in 2 rounds using the same song... whats the catch? For the first round, they sang with minus one music (ie. karaoke). For the second round, they were required to sing unplugged to test their 临场表现.

And after a fierce round of competition, the qualifying contestants are:
1) Tobias Low - 我真的受伤了
2) She Jian Ming, the youngest contestant so far - I Believe
3) Chap Tan - 天天
4) Keira Ang - Piano




Congratualtions to the above people. Remember to catch them live in the semi finals (last wed/ thur of this month)!!

Besides the 4 of them, we would also like to give special credit to another contestant who sang 爱我别走. Though he failed to qualify, he gathered quite a number of encouraging comments (eg. Admirable courage, Way to go Boy! But i admire your determination!! 勇气可加 etc.) from the audience. He even got the loudest applause for the night when he requested to sing his song in ROCK version!! Great job man. Your vocals may not be the best last night, but your courage certainly connected with the audience!!

There is also another group of people that should be creditted, and that is the audience for the night!! They were all very sporting and spontaneous in their responses!!
When the results were announced, the applause and cheers almost brought the whole house down!! Winners even shaked hands with people from other tables... you guys really made it feel more like an award show... but hey!! Great spirit guys!! 友谊第一!!



Now for an announcement from the management:
Hark Music School is holding a number of short courses in the June holidays. You'll learn how to sing or play the instruments in just 4 weeks!! For more information, please see check out our school website!! Early birds get 10% discounts... HURRY!!!
