Heat 2 Rundown

Heat # 2 : 15 APRIL 2008

Heat 2 started off a bit later than planned due to the heavy rain that has been cleaning our air every evening the past few weeks!

Contestants this week included

1. A Child's Prayer (Azfar & Amir) - Singer-Songwriter-Musicians
2. Nor Fadhli- Vocalist
3. Brian Morais-Vocalist
4. Tony Leo-Vocals & Guitar

A Child's Prayer took to the stage with their cover of an English song, followed by an original composition of their choice. Their stage presence and vocal maturity truly impressed the crowd.

Fadli gave us a rendition of 'Inside Your Heaven' by Carrie Underwood that really made us sit up. He later sang 'Fever' with no accompaniment, not an easy feat.

Brian had problems with the Minus One CD he brought but truly got our attention with 'Heaven' by Brian Adams.

Tony Leo brought it home with 'He's Alive' a Gospel Rock number and later showed off with his skills on the guitar.

Local TV & Radio Personality WILL QUAH who happened to be in the audience joined LLEW MARSH at the piano for a humorous and fun rendition of 'CABARET' much to the crowd's delight.

Guest appearances at the attic are always a pleasant surprise!

Winner of Heat # 2 : A Child's Prayer.
