This competition consisted of two parts: the first part is an one-on-one elimination system where two contestants compete with each other, making a final four compete in the second part. The first contestant Sun Hongyi kicked off with a song named Mercury Records, and his opponent Hilton Chon steadily sang Those Very Adventurous Dreams of Yours. The second pair of contestants Pat Ng and Shirley Xiao presented two totally different styles, Pat’s Endless was powerful, while Shirley’s Curry Curry with dancing was very delightful. The third pair Herman Chiang and Winnie Ma respectively sang Cruel Moonlight which was melodious, and I Don’t Care which was very passionate. The last two contestants Iong Wai Sim and Shelby Lao each singing two different songs to further heat up the atmosphere.

Based on the three judges’ votes, Hilton, Herman, Shirley and Wai Sim made to the final round of competition. Hilton sang The Wrong Person which tended to bring back a lot of memories to the audience. Herman’s Wonderful Tonight created an imaginative space conjured in the minds of the audience. Shirley’s We Sleep Together was gentle but vivid. Iong Wai Sim’s Silence offered a perfect ending to the competition.

After three judges’ comments and discussions, together with the poll of the audience, Hilton won the championship. Everyone enjoyed a wonderful night.

東亞歌王聚群英,餘音繞梁摘桂冠

何鴻燊東亞書院學生會舉辦的《東亞歌王》決賽於11月6日完美落幕,此次決賽可謂臥虎藏龍,從初賽脫穎而出晉級決賽的八位選手各有各的特色,並榮幸地邀得書院院長姚偉彬教、科技學院副教授暨書院導師林智超博士、澳大學生兼新晉歌手栗靜怡同學(婉昭)作為比賽評委。

比賽為淘汰制,選手兩兩對戰。第一位選手孫弘毅,以一曲《水星記》為決賽打響頭炮,他的對手秦曉彤以穩定的發揮完美詮釋了《那些你很冒險的夢》。第二組的選手吳浩與肖莉株風格迥異,吳浩的《無盡》給人以強烈的震撼,而肖莉株的《咖喱咖喱》卻給人以活潑之感。

比賽如火如荼地進行,第三組的選手鄭皓文與馬雯靜輪番登場,鄭皓文演唱的《殘酷月光》悠揚而又憂傷,使人回味無窮,而馬雯靜演唱的《我管你》激昂而不聒噪,使人情緒高漲。壓軸出場的兩位選手翁慧嬋與劉巧兒更是旗鼓相當,兩人的高音演唱把決賽推向高潮。

經過一輪激烈的比拼,最終秦曉彤、鄭皓文、肖莉株與翁慧嬋四位選手晉級第二輪。第二輪四位選手分別演唱的歌曲給人不同的風味,秦曉彤的《錯的人》感情豐富,仔細品來,寓意深刻;鄭皓文的《Wonderful Tonight》以英文演繹,使人身臨其境;肖莉株的《我們一起睡覺》溫婉動人,生動而又不失真情實感;翁慧嬋的《默》更是給東亞歌王決賽劃上完滿句號。

Everyone enjoyed a wonderful night.
