Got somethings wanna say, quite long, will break into parts=) These are just my thoughts and I have no intention to show-off or anything. Afterall it's my diary where I can find back old memories next time=)I must have been crazy when I emailed my application to Hall 2 Culture Sec to join "Hall 2's Got Talent" a few weeks back. Audition was held last week and I was one of the seven who got through to the finals, which was held this Wednesday night at Hall 2's futsal court.
My friends who were watching my audition told me I was damn nervous when I sang 《我问天》a hokkien song, and the judges said perhaps I can have something more for the real thing, so I took quite a lot of time to search for minus-one tracks of 《北京一夜》,《千里之外》,《我问天》and《爱拼才会赢》; and took super long to find a free software online which allows me to combine the songs together. Then I translated part of 《我问天》into English also for the finals, but I really dared not practice coz I just feel damn paiseh even if I'm alone in the room, coz you dunno who'll walk pass the corridor!!
Weather's quite bad these few days and we had sudden rains during sunny days, so I got blocked nose and that made me worried! I went running and did sit ups and luckily it didn't trouble me on Wednesday. By the way Tuesday's rehearsal was bad coz I laughed through and couldn't hit notes! =(
Wednesday's the day for the contestants - 4 vocal soloists including me, 1 duet, a pair who played guitar / sing and a group of 4 who danced. I was the 4th to perform (my lucky number!) I wore something like old singers such as 费玉清 so I could impersonate him... Nervous not? To be frank I only felt that when the 3rd contestant's on stage... Luckily after introducing myself I felt ok, just don't care about face and just perform to entertain the audience as much lah!
So some wooden trunk like me "danced" a little to pretend "rock", used "fake voice" to sing part of《北京一夜》, impersonated 费玉清 and 周杰伦 when singing 《千里之外》, sang《我问天》with a very Taiwanese Hokkien style and translated part of it into English, and ended with a more high 《爱拼才会赢》. I was super lucky that the audience enjoyed my performance and echoed with me, when my aim was to entertain them! Even the judge's kid danced around sia!=) I've achieved my aim!!^o^
Much relief after my performance! I was sweating like mad! I walked to the back of audience and continued watching, then friends and some residents (who I don't know) gave very encouraging comments! I'll talk about this in the 2nd post...=) I'm not talking rubbish but I though I was at disadvantage coz other participants either are "senior residents" of Hall 2 or they're in some committee ==> more supporters!! Some more singing Hokkien songs, which is not a mainstream kind of thing, might not appeal to everyone... But really to my surprise, it was the opposite!! Thanks thanks!!=)
Eunice just told me how I scored in both components - 30% audience vote and 70% judges' scores. We stood in front of the cones and the audience put their wrist light-sticks in our cones. This kind of feeling is like 《我猜我猜我猜猜猜》got chio-bu receiving many votes (though I got no looks-.-''')... Then judges were too entertained ba, they "have nothing to say"... Just wanna thank everyone, really thank all who attended and enjoyed my item!! ESPECIALLY JAKAS!!! I'll elaborate more in the 2nd post.
Really sorry that the encore wasn't well done=/ Forgot some lyrics=/
