AYMC

That Asian youth music competition was one bizarre affair.
Audience - mostly PRCs, were walking in and out of the theatre at Suntec Convention Centre, with bowls of instant noodles and drinks in their hands, talking loudly, hopping in and out like they're at a picnic. People are even more well-behaved than that in cinemas here.
Gosh.

Contestants were young kids, mostly from China. One 8yr old girl played 东方之珠 accompanied by.......a CD. I even recall hearing this song on 安培那杯儿童karaoke when I was a kid! So farnie...There were alot of contestants who did the *ahem* Instrumental Karaoke and also looked like they were going to perform for 七月歌台 - one particular boy looked like a chinaman who accidentally time travelled to the victorian times and was trying too hard to blend in. Wah Lau...

Ridiculous...After listening to 2hours of crap, we finally saw Luis coming onstage. The Mozart sounded good, though a little reserved and on the soft side. Hey, too bad you were sandwiched between 2 saxophonists - Mr Casablanca and Mr Paganini - they're simply TOO loud.

Tired. Will post the video and sound clips tomorrow. :p
