Xinyao Festival 2003 Finals

It was a spectacular display of local singing, song-writing and composing talent at the Kallang Theater last night 28-Jun-2003 as 12 finalists of the Xinyao Festival 2003 strutted their stuff on stange in front of a 700-strong audience.

All the participating entries are very mature, very professional, very well-done. Themes also varied from the usual love songs to hopes and dreams, world and social issues, and the feelings of a cat!

Among the guest stars were Joi Tsai (Cai Chunjia), Tanya Chua, Cai Lilian, Seven, and big brother Jiang Hu, belting the best of new songs and old favourites, while the judges battled it out in recess deciding which prizes should be awarded to which song.

It also helps a great deal to have appreciative company around!

The judges include Liang Wenfu, Li Weisong, Feng Huishi, Wu Qingkang; all familiar names in the local chinese music scene.
