Went for this RedBox singing competition around 2 weeks ago. I first heard about this from Johan in our J-singing gang group chat, and was feeling rather half-hearted about joining. But in the end I was half-dragged into signing up because Kaoru, Zie Aun and Johan pulled me to register right after AMG event. Can't say that I'm not free to register haha since I was also waiting for Animenz piano concert with them.
Too bad the Sunway branch only have 3 positions left, Kaoru had to join the Bukit Tinggi's batch while Zie and Johan participated twice (one with me at Sunway, another at Bukit Tinggi). I didn't really prepare for this competition and I was having flu on the competition day hahaha. Nose block! Anyway, we were asked to reach 45minutes before the competition starts (7pm) for sound check.
One of the highlights of this competition (the main reason I joined) is that we will be using the Shure Vintage mic to compete! It is kind of a rare chance to use a vintage mic (unless I buy one myself lol) to perform so I was pretty excited about it! The champion will get to win themselves a vintage mic + RM500 cash voucher (if i'm not mistaken), but I doubt I'll win la, thats why I'm only excited to try out the mic haha.
The prizes. Everyone who participated will get a consolation prize of RM50 RedBox Cash voucher.
Most of us were still not used to the mic, since we only get around 1-2mins to test it out. I was pretty amazed by the standards of the contestants though! All of them sang really well and I enjoyed the 2.5hours of music ^^.
The judges. I'm feeling a little bad for not remembeing any of their names lol.
I participated with Wonderland by FLiP, a song I've performed for several times with my band. Slightly regretted picking that song because it's really hard to do a great performance with no heated audience (and three pair of eyes -- the judges staring). This song is better suited for band performance and people having fun together haha.
Nonetheless I still enjoyed a lot singing with the vintage microphone! It has good resonance and the effect is amazing. I would probably consider to get one after getting a good dynamic microphone for my stage performances.
After all contestants sang, we were given a 10-15minutes break for the judge to make their final decision on the winner. We used the time to chat around and getting to know new friends who love music!
Choy Peng, who is a blogger. She sang Utada Hikaru - First Love~
Precious Group Photo! Thanks a lot to Kaoru and Kenji for supporting us~
A big congratulations to Johan for winning the First Runner-up ^^ He got RM200 cash voucher so I guess he's gonna spend them by going to redbox a lot lol. I'm more of a LoudSpeaker fan recently, their prices are much cheaper, with SUPER COOL song selections, and even their food taste good!! Sorry to say but RedBox food kinda sucks.
My RM50 consolation cash voucher haha. Am probably going with either my family or Sacchin, although I would be happier if it's a LoudSpeaker voucher hahaha. To everyone who joined and participated, gokurousamadeshita! I'm sure we all tried our best and you guys are awesome as usual! Hope to join more of these competitions to further improve myself, broaden up my network and to spend time with friends who love music ^^.
