HITZ.SG! [video edited!]
Did you guys watched Testimoni the other day? Well, i did and i am freaking proud of Syarif trying to quit smoking. Well, a try is still a challenge but i think it did him well.
Very very proud of you dude!
Besides that, i missed the split second of my appearance on the show because why? I decided to grab a drink in the kitchen until my mum screamed in malay, “IZZZZ DUDOK DEPAN SYARIF EHHH?!” which means, “IZZZZ YOU SAT INFRONT OF SYARIF IS IT?” Well pretty much yeah, so i missed it.
Dang.
Here’s a random printscreen that i got off youtube. Thanks Aai! My 1.5 seconds off fame.
Anyhoo, have you guys voted for AnugeraHitz.sg? Well i have as a matter of fact, i vote daily (i shall not mention how many and who am i voting for heh). I rallied my friends, clients and much more to vote! hahah
As mentioned earlier, in-lieu to AnugeraHitz.sg that is going to be held on the 3rd of April, there are a series of shows called Hitz.sg. A preview of your nominees singing and interviews as it leads up to the actual show. These shows will be aired on the 13th, 20th and 27th March, 830pm on Suria.
I couldn’t attend the recording of the first episode because due to certain unforeseen circumstances but, photo credits thanks to Hyrul Anuar’s fan page for the first episode shots!
Recording for the 2nd and 3rd episode was a freaking blast! Despite the fact, the “A-Listers” were scheduled for those episodes, the crowd was wild enough when any artistes came on stage. Though, i wasn’t informed it was a mosh pitt setting, so i pity the “makciks” that were standing almost throughout the entire show.
I particularly loved the stage set-up, it was raw, an acquired “L” shaped design though but i thought the flashing led boards were quite overused haha but in all i loved the stage layout. Especially on how the band set up was separated from the main stage but yet it felt as one? Get it? Ok nevermind.
Though suffered from a few technical difficulties time to time but it was all good. The crowd cheered on the emcees and the artistes endlessly.
I particularly like MJ, the small kid that had a couple of small segments throughout the show by being a replica of a “kaypoh” reporter. I thought the idea of having him on the show was rather witty and mostly hillarious with his out of this world questions!
Sarah Aqilah came on in a lovely red dress as she sat on the grand piano belting our her famous single “Biar Hati Mencintaimu”. Her performance was mesmerizing just like how she wow-ed us with her vocals as usual.
Followed by the brother’s duo, Sleeq. What can i say, thank god they didn’t sing “Cun Saja” because honestly, that song sounded even more broken than a broken record should heh (whatever that means!). They sang “Sembunyi” it was a nice change and again Syarif vocals didn’t fail me at all (when does he ever??). Syarif emoted really well, and Alyph being the performer that he is gave the entire performance; as sleeq as their name carries. Proud of them brothers!
The hosts Fiza “O” and Fauzie Laily were hillarious. Though there were a couple of retakes from them, but it was all good. I love it on how they involve audience engagement after every segment.
Imran Ajmain’s performance, “Jika Engkau Pergi”, was haunting and nostalgic. I love his unique tone to his voice that is rather equivalent to those old school singers of the sixities. Different but yet amazing; plus this song is my mom’s favourite! haha.
He gives me the P. Ramlee vibes and it’s something refreshing in this era. It’s good too hear such sweetened lyrics and song that could be as legendary as P. Ramlee himself.
Oh yeah, not forgetting Syed Azmir. The crowd went wild with his single “Aku Bukan Sempurna” composed and written by Alyph Sleeq. I swore the moment i heard the song; i could identify as an identity of Magic Potions Pte Ltd without a doubt. It’s trademark was so distinct that it’s impeccable!
Honestly, i never expect Syed Azmir would end up in the R&B/Pop genre. Though his image will give me some adjustment time for me to encompass his vision in such genre but i’m sure much he’ll succeed in it.
Our Singapore Idols, Taufik and Hady (i almost typed Taufik and Batisah heh). OK, i’m a huge Idol fan alright (duh), nope i wasn’t a groupie or whatsoever because we’ve met each other through idol! Hady sang his chart-topping “Angkasa” which made the crowd sang along at the top of their lungs. Taufik’s new single, “Tiada Dua” is a huge love for me! I may not be the best person when it comes to Malay songs but i’m learning much from the Malay music industry as day goes on. Upon hearing, Taufik’s “Tiada Dua”, i fell in love with it immediately. I dig songs that relates both Malay and English together in it. In particular, Sleeq does them effortlessly. “Tiada Dua” is currently on repeat on my itunes heh, and that’s my second favourite song now cause my favourite song had always been “Selamat Malam” from Sleeq.
Uber dope yo!
There were other artistes from Didicazli, Shah Redzuan, Rancours, etc but i won’t spoil the bubble for you guys. Here’s a little MTV teaser for you guys of Hitz.Sg recording!
