Let’s Challenge Semi Finals!!!

The atmosphere was none other than HIGH, HIGH AND HIGH in Hark Music Café Bar for the past 2 nights as it was the semi finals for our Let’s Challenge Competition – May 06!! It was divided into 2 days to accommodate the growing number of contestants, and each semi finals was divided into 3 segments:
Warm Up Segment:
Our thoughtful management decided to let the contestants have a warm up session for the contestants by having them sing to minus one music on stage. Of course, this warm up performance was never to be taken into account when deciding who should qualify for the grand finals.

Round 1of competition:
The real competition starts and contestants are judged based on how well they bring their song across with unplugged music (thanks to our guitarist Amos and pianist Yu Hong). The judges, for this round, had a bell to ring when they think they are satisfied with the contestants performance. And they were very kind indeed, to follow that with comments and tips for the contestants to take note and review and probably improve in the last round.



Round 2 of competition:
As per previous times, we initially wanted the contestants to “lucky draw” from 3 envelopes, each bearing a different style to sing in (namely R&B, ROCK and 清唱). However, we eventually decided to let the contestants do their second round in rock version as all were slow ballads in the first round (except for Jason’s initial Andy Hui’s rock version of 原来你什么都不要)!!

And before we give you the results, here are some of the highlights of the 2 nights:



We had a special guest on Wednesday. Project Superstar finalist Zi Hui was here to support her friend!! And Amos could not give up this chance to get her on stage to share with the contestants some valuable experience that she had. And being inspired by this superstar, contestants got the mood really high in the second round of the competition, where they were given a choice of slow or fast rock!! One of them, Joseph, even got the audience clapping along (by clapping his hands high in the air) when the drum beat comes on. The event ended with Jason’s twisted version of 眼泪 (he sang “Oh 睡觉…… ) to bid everyone good night.



On Thursday, the supporters were really cool and some “super fans” even brought neon sticks to wave in the air to support their “idol” Eileen!! All the other supporters were as great and we could tell that they had a good time cheering and singing along audibly with the contestants…. The results was a difficult one to decide on as the standards of the contestants were really close this time round…. Some who fared very well in the first round did not do as good in the second, while some who were not as captivating in round one did pretty well in the second….



Anyway, the results were still announced and the finalists for this Sunday’s Grand Finals are:
From Semi 1: Adrian, Jason and Stanley
From Semi 2: Angie, Tobias and Clarence

Yap, 5 gentlemen and a lady!!
The atmosphere will be getting REAL High this week...and you will see that more challenges will await them this SUN!

So for those who wants to catch a glimpse of all the happenings, book your seats early to avoid disappointment!!!
