SING! SINGAPORE 2010 SEMI-FINALS

March 2nd, 2010

The semi-final of Sing! Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games Song Competition was held at the Community Life Arts Programme (CLAP!) at Far East Plaza on 5^th February 2010. Jointly organised by NYAA Gold Award Holders’ Alumni (GAHA), National Youth Council (NYC) and the Central Singapore Community Development Council (CS CDC) and supported by the Singapore Youth Olympic Games Organising Committee (SYOGOC), this competition celebrates creativity, self-expression and lets participants unleash their talents.30 Semi-finalists were shortlisted to perform their pieces, in no longer than 3 minutes each, that evening. The judging panel included both Celebrity and Youth Judges. They were Mr. Ken Lim (Chief Judge, Singapore Idol), Mr. Taufik Batisah (Singapore Idol, 2004), Mr. Hong Jun Yang (Project Superstar Runner Up 2005), Mr. Yu Dan Quan (Music lecturer at RI/RJC) and Mr. Phua Chao Rong, Charles (Youth Organiser for Sing! Singapore 2010).

From song writing to stage performance, we witnessed the outpour of talents and passion for music from a multitude of races, ages and nationalities. These ranged from young singers from a local primary school to teams from Indonesia and Philippines. It was an engaging night of performances in celebration of the Singapore Youth Olympic Games 2010. The audience supported their favourite songs by clapping and cheering loudly to influence the decibel counter - an electronic device which records the intensity of sound. After all, on-site voting contributed to 25% of the final scores.
