[Guinness LIVE] Yee Siling VS Alvin Ng at Firefly

Guinness Live 2011 UPDATE

Guinness LIVE is a singing contest which is held every Tuesday, Wednesday &; Thursday respectively at Shanghai Dolly, Dragonfly & Firefly until the end of February 2012.

Since it's a Thursday, the Guinness LIVE group was at FIREFLY & THE LIVING ROOM. It's located at Singapore Marriot Hotel, Orchard Road.

Guinness Live Round 15: Alvin Ng VS Yee Siling:

I was 15 minutes late and almost missed them singing their first songs! The tables were fully occupied when I reached!

Siling using her new prop, a fan, which suited her performing song titled, 夜来香(Ye Lai Xiang), perfectly.  The fan was definitely suitable for this song! However, an advice which both Fatt Zhai & Jason gave her was that perhaps she should think about what she could do with the fan while singing. I guess perhaps it was her first song so she seemed a little nervous; to open or close the fan? When's the right time to do so? Other than that, I thought she could wear something more flattery next time.

On a lighter note, I think she looks a little like Jesseca Liu, 刘子绚.
PRETTY!

One thing I totally agree with everyone is that Team Firefly a "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" group. Like Alfred from the same team, Siling C.A.N. S.I.N.G. Superstar-quality singer who makes you sway to her grooves, rock along with her tempo, indulge in her vocals.

Alvin is one courageous performer. He's not afraid to show you what he's got; he poses, he grooves, he entertains. Now, who can 'tahan' a man singing so close to you while looking right into your eyes?

Finally got a CLEAR photo of the GreenQueen Band. JasonJaccent, the keyboardist from Green Queen Band, is a piano teacher by day. If you notice, he's using THREE, that's T-H-R-E-E keyboards that day!

I think that during when doing a LIVE showcase, the most powerful people have to be the band musicians. Should the singer skip a phrase or a stenza in the song, they have to do impromptu changes to complement their vocalists. Then, they have to cater to the singers' comfortable keys, adjust the chords accordingly, coordinate with the other musicians.

Next time when you watch a live band, please give your loudest applause to the musicians who played the wonderful music for you. 3 cheers to Green Band!

Wait a minute, right at the back of the crowd, I thought I saw some familiar faces...I did! Other Guinness Live contestants spotted!

 Left to right: Aydan, Regine who refuse to take a photo w/o make up, Jeremy.

They had come down to support their fellow friends! What you see on stage are ALL outstanding performers who shine in their own ways. Although it's a harsh contest, personally I feel what really matters is the friendship & passion that binds total strangers together; a form of mutual encouragement. It's so heart-warming to know that everyone's a part of the big Guinness family, supporting one another in times of need.

Look how happy they are! Except Regine of course, I can't see her face when she covers it like that. *bleah*

See who I manage to take a photo with this time:

Yes with Aydan(top) & Alvin(below)!!!

[Guinness LIVE] Regine Han & Alfred Sim at Shanghai Dolly

Guinness LIVE at Shanghai Dolly will be happening EVERY Tuesday until February 2012.
Every week, 2 contestants from 2 different Guinness Live groups will be there for a PK match.

On Tuesday, it was Regine Han and Alfred Sim's turn to battle it out!

IMG_7184
Regine was extremely outstanding with her bling blings & outfit, plus points! One look on the streets and you'll have no doubt that she's a professional vocalist. I personally thought she resembled our popular taiwanese singer, 黄小虎 (Tiger Huang Xiao Hu or "Yellow Little Tiger" for its direct translation!)

IMG_7191
Alfred's singing techniques blew me away. From the last time I heard him sing (and it's just earlier this month), he has improved so much on controlling his emotions. A powerful vocalist, Alfred sounds so much like 萧敬腾 (Hsiao Jing Teng or Jam Hsiao) when he hits the high notes!

IMG_7206

Regine is an expert when it comes to warming up the crowd. "Come on, let's clap together!", "Wave your hands in the air!"
IMG_7204

IMG_7232

She is so influential that this audience from the floor even started waving his lighter (make it two lighters) in the air!
IMG_7214

IMG_7244

Both Regine & Alfred shine like superstars and I suddenly understood why I wasn't chosen when I went for the audition. When you're on stage, it's NOTHING about being doubtful about your vocals, neither is it about worrying whether the judges or other people will accept you.

Simply let your passion take you high as it flows into every blood vessel, sinks into every part of your skin, then release from your every pore. You don't have to be the best singers in the world, but by being yourself, being carefree on the stage and carrying this love of sharing your passion, you will shine.

Regine & Alfred did.
And that's exactly what I'll do from now on!

IMG_7218

This time round, Regine sang 浪子心声, 爱你一万年 and 如果没有你 while Alfred sang 我真的受伤了,有多少爱可以重来 and 热情的沙漠. I'm not able to pick out the best song each sang because they were equally awesome!

The voting begins.
Maximum 75points: From audience votes by cheering as loud as you can.
5 points each: From 3 different VIP tables to either contestants
5 votes each:  From 2 judges who are professional singers in the respective turfs.

Audience & supporters from the floor used all kinds of noise-making props to maximise their cheering: from their screams to applause, whistles to even horns to support their favourite vocalist! Bring your ear plugs if you don't wish to experience temporary deafness.

Singha Full Moon Party was a blast!

What's this commotion about?

IMG_6899

I don't have to refer to the directory board to check out where Attica was at Clarke Quay. The big crowd led me there!

IMG_6967

Lasers, Music, People, Dancing, Free flow of Singha beer; it was more than I could ask for a night's out.

IMG_6912

IMG_6947
I think before I knew it, I already had a drink too many, toasting to all my friends! The bar was flocked with people waiting for their Singha beer. But the bartenders were swift. I didn't have to wait long.

IMG_6963


Yet, what I yearned for most, was to see DJ Sophia Lin in person.
I waited, on the dance floor, closest to the spinning table...

IMG_6909

DJs who were spinning didn't look any bit like 'Sophia Lin'. Where is she?!
IMG_6917

Oh my god, there she is!
(I thought she was. She's actually Vicky, Attica's DJ)
IMG_6932
While she spun the night away, I caught up with more friends for photo taking sessions!

There was Herwan & his friends:
IMG_6938

And Hello Jessie, Shu Qing & Darren!
IMG_6920

The long queue didn't seem shorter even when I was about to leave. It was lucky that I was given the priority queue. *phew* For those who were in my guest list, I really hoped you've enjoyed your night! Friends like Arvind, Horace, Claire & more!
