Battle Of the Bands '05

In this post im gona talk about the recent Battle Of The Bands 05 that wuz at my church on New Year's Day! I wuz in it...playin the keyboard...

Battle Of The Bands wuz really really chun! first time participatin in one....our band : THE YOUNG MAN BAND AND A COWGIRL NAMED GREG, did two songs which are songs performed by Christian Bands of course, which were Who I Am Hates Who Ive Been (Relient K) & All I Want Is You (Planet Shakers) i actually wanted to do Great n Mighty (Planet Shakers) but during practice it didnt work out. we tried several times, then we prayed, we asked God whether He wants us to do this song or not and we gave one last shot at it but it still didnt work out, so we did another song which wuz All I Want Is You. In the end, that song got lots of praises frm the judges. Speaking of the judges they were, -Lionel -Joanne Yeoh(famous violinist) - Chee Seng. Lionel judges on musicality, Joanne focuses on teamwork

and Chee Seng hinted on singing.

Me, ! On the keyboard!








The wait.... Right before we went up to perform...








All Of Us....

We were the 2nd band that went up to perform, there were six bands in total, 4 from Pantai and 2 from Subang. For the 1st song, Julian (lead singer) screwed one part of the song which wuz the 2nd bridge. fortunately, no one noticed, i even asked one of the judges whether he noticed but he said he didnt noticed that we paused *phew* if they actually noticed, we would be getting very low marks. btw, im not playin the actual piano sound on the keyboard. im playin the guitar bass on my keyboard, hehe. the 2nd song went out smoothly. in the end, the two teams frm Subang eventually emerged as the champion and the 1st runner-up. the 2nd runner-up wuz frm Pantai lead by John Thomas, i din noe that Su-Anne could play bass wei! the champs then sang Alwayz n Forever as an encore. we had loads of fun facing the obstacles and challenges that hit us during practice and the actual day. we got 4th placing for our performance, very surprising cuz we managed to beat 2 other bands which had shon in it.

After BotB, we managed to lay our hands on the judges's comments, guess wAT?? Lionel tot that our first song, the relient k one, was composed by ourself and commented that it wuz catchy and nice to listen to ! =p he oso said that we had a boy band look =) chee seng said that julian's vocals were very good if he had not shout alot in front of the whole crowd u noe. i wuz like fuiyoh, julian kembang adi. the only problem we had wuz Joanne, she freaking said that we had a poor technical performance. only gave us 1 mark. i dunno whether she actually noe wat is music cuz she tot we had 3 guitarists. we only like had two guitarists and i wuz playin the bass on keyboard. *tsktsk* summore say the lead guitarist dun haf enuf solo parts. dunno what she writing la. if it wuzin for her, we couldve got that RM100 and we couldve spent our CG teacher, teacher anita a meal, she spent like i think RM300 jus on us. plus she bought 10 tix for our class to watch Narnia. i think more than 10 and 1 tix is RM10.
