This year consisted of a tight competition between the 8 candidates, with all of them scoring over 90 marks for every round. The show finally came to a great grand finale moment when Marcus Yong 杨克意 and Singapore Lee Soon Guan 李顺源 were voted as the final two contestants.
Both of the popular contestants were given a chance to sing
a duet with the judge Kay Huang黄韵玲 for the song
of 《心动》. During this segment, Marcus managed to merge in into the
song with the correct timing. With his great vocal and singing technique, he
managed to stand out as the champion of
the night!
Lee Soon Guan came as the
first runner up. The main reason for his loss would be the wrong key entrance and
timing for the last round. Nonetheless, Kay
complimented him for being able to continue his singing although he entered
in the wrong key but still managed to blend in well.
Funny Host Emcees! Custom
Won’t Stop Lee Soon Guan!
The hosts of the night Jiang Han 颜江瀚 and陈建彬 have really made the show very lively
with their great emcee skills! One of the funniest moment of the night was when
they kept on “threatening” Lee Soon Guan to at least win an award that night.
They joked that if he didn’t make it, the custom will stop him from going back
to Singapore. Well, Lee Soon Guan has
surely secured his custom pass as he was able to achieve the first runner up
for the competition.
Jay Chou’s and Mayday’s
Songs Will Be Available as Song Choice For Next Year Competition!
Without
any deny, one of the most surprising moments of the night would be when Jiang Han came on stage singing Jay Chou’s Rap Song. The surprise didn’t
just stop at his performance as he then announced that Jay Chou’s and Mayday’s
Songs which were already released more than 15 years would be available as
songs choices for the competition next year.
For those who are interested to join the Astro Classic Golden Melody Singing
Competition next year, you may
choose to perform these new selections of songs.
Close Competition
Between The Contestants!
Nonetheless, all of the candidates have proven that they were
really formidable contestants as their scoring were very close to each other.
Apart from Marcus and Lee Soon Guan, Edmund Loh has outshined others during the night and emerged as the
second runner up of the night. His performance was very lively and the
audiences have enjoyed it.
Amy Chan who has
participated the competition last year has won No.4 again for the second time. In addition, this time she has
earned an additional award of “XOX
Mobile Most Popular Awards”.

Post Event Conference:
Marcus Yong mentioned
that he has targeted to achieve top 4 even during the early stage of the show.
However, when he entered into the final round of the duet, he actually felt
very confident that he could win the contest. He even jokingly laughed at how
he responded when Lee Soon Guan
entered into the wrong key during the last song.
When Marcus himself
hit the right key, he was very certain that he could win the competition.
Lee Soon Guan mentioned
that he actually managed to hit the key, but it was a higher note. He said that
he wasn’t well prepared for the last challenge.
Winning the competition, Marcus said that he would
like to spend his prize money for his house renovation. He also plans to treat
his friends including the top 8 finalists a meal.
The judges mentioned during the press conference that this
competition has proven that age is not a limit. Every year, the contestants
would be able to rekindle the singing passions. Despite the age of the
contestants, their learning abilities and skill sets are actually as youthful
as the younger generations.
After the press conference, I managed to take a few selfies
with the champion Marcus, one of the
judge 黄韵玲 and
also the host emcee陈建彬!
