Beatrice messaged us that we were having a photoshoot today. A Voice's A Capella photoshoot. Kinda interesting, and since i was meeting Phoebs at 1, why not?
Phoebs had the Red Camp SL interview today, so she decided to meet me at Munch like way earlier.. I showed her the arrangements i did yesterday.. 4 arrangements to be honest. and it was a relieved that she liked the one that i liked the most too. So we had lunch after that and we just talked and hung outside the level 1 clubrooms waiting for the photoshoot to start. I was teaching her the backing 2 part when Xin Yu and Rowena came and told us that they could hear us from the other side of the clubrooms. haha! We sat with them and sung a lot of Glee songs. We were that bored. yes.
The photoshoot started around 3.30pm+ or so as the photog team had to set up their equipments and stuff. The NP Photography club that is. While waiting, i found out some stuff about the auditions from Beatrice like why some people had to sing two songs and whether we could see our audition tapes as well as next year's batch's audition tapes. Unfortunately, we were told that we couldn't see the audition tapes for next year's batch unless we were part of the committee. Umm, yeah. no.
Firdaus, Jason, Phoebe, Beatrice, YiMin and i were at the photoshoot and it was pretty fun i guess.. We did solo shots first. So we had to pretend that the set was the stage and we were suppose to WERK IT GURL! Yeah, the ghetto way.. How they always say.. WERK IT GURL! WERK IT REALLL GOOD! That sounded wrong, but yeah, you get my point. Beatrice was up first and she was SO AWKWARD haha! So cute! As what Firdaus always says.. :D
Firdaus was up next and he was WERKIN it.. like WERKIN it. haha! I was up next and the songs that i sang so that the photos looked more natural was 'Proud Mary' and 'Mercy' haha! I could tell that i was doing pretty well from the look of one girl's face. She was like Damn.. Damn Damn.. yep. ^.^ Phoebs was up next.. She dressed really professionally today. Like a real pro. She wore her mom's shirt dress kinda thing in which the skirt was short in the front and long at the back and the shoes that she was wearing were... omg. It totally matched her outfit. I can now say that Phoebe has great fashion sense. LOL. Jason and YiMin were up next. The group photo was next and it was pretty messy haha! We all sang 'Price Tag' and we were told to jump around here and there which was really really fun :D and tiring at the same time..
Practice was kinda good i guess.. We learnt a new song altogether called 'Back To One' which was an old R&B song. I only heard Bryan McKnight's cover of it.. Was it a cover or the actual song that he wrote? Oh well, it still sounded nice.. We were singing it half way through when Joe corrected my siting posture and called me mediocre singer. I don't really like the thought of being called a mediocre singer but .. but .. JOE .. HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT. You know it hurts right? D: Oh well, his Joe.. What can you do about it.. But i will definitely prove him wrong when A9 comes back.. You know what i can do Joe.. haha..
Heem Lim took lead for this song and he sounded great :) After 'Back To One', we had to show Joe our Mercy.. AND KELLIE WASN'T THERE YET! D: But it was a good thing that when we were asking about Kellie's whereabouts, she came through the door.. THANK GOD! We thought Kellie her part for only about 2 minutes and we had to go back into the room to show Joe.. Our lack of practice maybe. haha. Well, Joe was able to see the lack of practice from our performance, but well, we can always work on that.. He also asked us whether we could hear any of the oo's and ahh's in the song. and we said no. well, we gotta be original right? pfft. well, Kellie calculated and she said that we needed at least 9 people to do Mercy including the lead vocals. Okay.. Now that's something.. haha!
We all dispersed ourselves into our own groups to learn our songs and Phoebe was really practicing hard for that 'Price Tag' solo. Now, beatrice came out and told her straight.. That her voice was whiny.. *Please apply cold water to the burnt spot*
Well, i mean, that's the harsh truth but being so direct towards Phoebe.. Aww poor Phoebe.. But that's that.. :\ So we learn from our mistakes :) Nicole had to leave earlier for some reason and that leaves just me and Kellie to do the backings.. So we had to ask Beatrice to do backing 1. HAHA! I'm guessing Beatrice is kinda like our back up plan if any one of our people goes missing. lmao. After Rehearsals, we had to perform for Joe. Now that's pretty scary o.o The first group that went up were the seniors who did 'Back To One'. Sounded really nice! The blend was really strong and their harmonies were spot on.. Just.. Just.. Damn nice.. haha. The girls were up next and they did 'Raise Your Glass'. One of the backings were out of tune but after Joe corrected her notes, they were good to go :) We were next and we kinda had fun singing it with Phoebe doing lead. Now, when Phoebe did the last long note, and then the high note, the seniors were pretty impressed by it. haha, i could so see it in their reactions. Joe's as well..
That's a wrap! We all went our own ways and damn it, i can't wait for the next Voices practice. We had lots of fun these past two days. ^.^
XOXO
