Spending Earth Hour with the Vocalholics


Our first contact with our talent manager was on March 6. It was a request for the Vocalholics (Yes! the acapella group that I am performing with) to perform 3 sets of songs for 15 mins at a charity event called Speeding with the Stars in conjunction with Earth Hour on 28 March 2009.

Since it is an Earth Hour event, the guests will observe 1 hour in darkness with only candle lights and street lamps(don't expect TNB to turn it off). There will also be 10 Malaysian a.k.a. I dun know and I dun care who the hell they are celebrities and lots of media coverage - Errr... I only see 2 camera men and 1 video camera which supposedly gives us "good publicity" for our "CV". Unfortunately, after googling my way through today I found NOTHING on the VOCALHOLICS! Instead, there were some bloggers wondering howcome suddenly there's idiots singing in the middle of their peaceful dinner.

We did practice independently on our own for this gig despite not having much support during that period of practising. Everyone of us was sick except Wendy. We even had to lower down the key for certain songs to accommodate the voices. We were really not at our utmost performance. The matter got worst when one of the member decided pull out and to know that we will be singing.... MIC-less. Can you imagine having to out sing the crickets, the crowd and noises with only 4 voices?

However, we did come up with some good tunes and managed to pull it through... Feel free to enjoy some of it.
