The Blog Administrator is back!!

Yap, I’m back. Thanks Yu Hong, for filling in while I was away…
Taiwan and Hong Kong are great!! Besides the traffic that had me confused most of the time, I had lots of fun, shopping and eating in those 2 places… but nothing beats the feeling of being home…

OK, let’s get to business….

On Thursday, we had our first qualifying round for May 06, and we saw 3 repeat contestants from last month’s. This time’s competition is even stiffer, and only Joseph manage to get into the semi finals with his song 好想你. Victor and Justin (who failed to qualify this time), on the other hand, had very good spirit and says 友谊第一, 比赛第二. Getting into the semi’s is secondary, they were here for the experience and fun of it. And they got to know many great friends….. Great spirit guys!!

Along with Joseph, other semi finalists included the following people:

Adrian – who sang 黑色毛衣. This was his 4th attempt, and having improved in his singing techniques, he qualified this time round!!

Jason – he did David Tao’s number, 普通朋友. Try to guess who Jason is from the photo. Hint: He even dresses like the singer.

Stanley – Jacky Cheung’s sound alike, he sang 我真的受伤了.

Well done to the four of them!! For supporters who wish to vote for them or for those who wants to find out what’s the competition about, remember to catch them in Hark Café on the last Wednesday of May during the 1st round of semi finals!!

And for those who wants to come down and support your friends for this week’s qualifying round, it’ll be held on Wednesday, 10th May 06 instead. Don’t miss the date :P

Now for Saturday’s performance:
It was the 1st time we have 2 “1 hr singers” (Sherry and Alvan) battling it out on stage for the audience’s votes…. and both of them were rather nervous as this was their first time having to face the weekend crowd….. but we must say they did rather well in this attempt….
The results: Alvan got the better of the votes, so be prepared to see him in next months slots.

We also had quite a number of inspired “5 min singers” who signed up for this week’s Let’s Challenge qualifying rounds. Catch these music enthusiasts this wed!!
