I did not blog about this earlier, but I entered myself in a singing competition hosted by my company. I decided to go for a duet instead because I'm still learning to overcome my stage fright when performing solo.
The audition was about a month ago and we performed I Want To Spend My Lifetime Loving You by Marc Anthony and Tina Arena. A special thanks to my wife for suggesting the song and for being our "Simon" during our practice sessions.
The final took place yesterday at Red Box Plus @ Pavilion KL from noon to about 5 PM. We picked to sing an English/Italian song called The Prayer by Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion. It's a very beautiful song with a great melody and according to Dayang Nurfaizah, our voices blend-in very well with each other and the song.
To our surprise, we were announced as the overall winner. We beat 13 other contestants; 10 soloists and 3 groups. We got RM250 worth of shopping vouchers and a challenge trophy, which will have our names engraved on it as the first winner of the competition. We will also be performing a song at the company's annual dinner event on the 4th of December, alongside Mizz Nina. How cool is that?
I'd like to thank Nazia for being a great partner and for lending her voice to a great final performance. Now, what we need to do is to figure out a song to sing at the annual dinner event, which is only like 3 weeks away!
