Awesomest last leg of the first season!!

Who would have guessed we'd come this far? It's already September which means next month is October uhm... isn't that a known fact? lol
Why did i even mention it you ask. it's not because Garrett needs a reminder or anything but it's really really special for Creative Life and all of the other who has been with us for sooooo long keep making Track of Talents happen month after month and come October, *drum rolls* it's gonna be our very first anniversary!!! {insert your enthusiastic line here}

Anyways, closing for our very first year of Track of Talents (TOT), we had a line up of extra, extra goooooood and talented people performing for the night. As usual, we had the honor of 1 am to open for the night with "My Everything", a sneak preview of what's happening in our upcoming youth album, changed =D

Next up, Vitto braced the stage with another one of his free flow, gravity-defying moves. It is but one of his best showmanship ever, IMHO. If you guys know Herbie Hancock or Elton John or uhm... oh better Richard Clayderman, then you must know James K cause if you don't, then you don't know much hehehehe I'm serious. Get to know him because you're going to get sooo hoooked on his music once you have a listen to his latest much anticipated album, Adoration. Released just 2 weeks ago in ECF, this 11 tracks album has some of the songs from our 1 am previous album, Sold out, all jazzed up! All from the likes of "Singing and Living", "Sold Out" and "My God is Big". The album is all up for sales in ECF. Get in touch with anyone of us and we'll be glad to help. We don't bite, really. We only nibble =D

Next on the lineup is the killer-(too-good-to-be-called-boyband-matured-boyz-2-men)-quartet!! Neil, Ben (ehem), Dom and Jude on the acoustic set singing Free Fallin' by John Mayer and our very own version of Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis. Make sure you catch this on Youtube and vote for it because it's gonna change your life!

*wide grin*

*deafening silence with crickets at the back*

Anyways, after the quartet, Neil and Dom was still there preparing for another song, Learning to Breathe by Switchfoot. Awesome number!

Up next on the stage was Shaheeran, calling himself HV, smooth with his hood, shying his face from the crowd is a 15 year old beatboxer. Doing Droppin' like it's hot, a few other house (i wish i know what it was) was not so shy anymore when he wowed the crowd with his amazing talent. Truly gifted!

Urban Groove was once again on the stage with another one of their infectious upbeat dance moves. I have never seen Doris dance like that! lol If you know her, she was a lonely girl who only knows how to dance with the turkeys... oh sorry i mean peacock. I was so sure that if anyone was given a chance to prove themselves, you can never tell to what extend you can stretch your talent. This is definitely the platform! And all the other dancers are just as amazing!

It is our last but not the least performer of the night, Kenny Tay!! Absolutely our honor to have this very well known veteran in the music business and a very close friend of Kelvin, our "mane" man, to close for our very last leg of our first year's Track of Talents. Clad with a guitar in his hand, James standing next to me kept saying wow all the way with that "delicious" look on his face. I kept trying to understand what he wants to say but somehow i'm losing what he's tasting. I didn't know he can taste music notes let alone left me speechless about seeing colors and stuff. He played a total of 7 songs all oldies but goodies. Imagine this, he sang, "Sometimes When We Touch", "Proud Mary", "You've got a friend in me", Ticket to Ride", "Sunshine" written and composed by the man himself, "How can you mend a broken heart" and the last number, one of his golden Malay Hit =D See now you know what i meant by all the title of these songs? You're right, they're not easy stuff to sing lol Check out all these performances on Youtube, kenny's husky voice, full sound of his guitar and his simple appearance. Even with that he knows the essentials of capturing his audiences' attention and he demands your full and undivided senses but you're only willing to give =) like James K

Well, the performances of this night is definitely one of the best in row. You're missing out on alot if you weren't there but there's always the Youtube. I might be posting up a bit of the pictures of that night here in my next entry. So stay tune and wait for the line up of our official Track of Talents First Anniversary for next month because I heard there's gonna be a come back of our featured artist from the previous TOTs so it's gonna be HUGE this one I reckon. I'll Be right Back for sure! Till then take care and stay cute!!

Peace Out,
Ever at your service,

Da Event, "Merdekaz-ubolous Night"

A thousand apologies to everyone out there... I know I have been abandoning you for awhile now but they say good things come to those who wait :p ok that didn't work... I feel really bad now...
Opening for the night are our very own 1 am dance act with their performance entitled, "Change". They have recently visited Hong Kong for a dance conference and was so ministered and at the same time touch lives whenever they have the chance to. All 5 of them braced the stage, Sharon, Doreen, Nai Lin, Rachael and Jay (who wasn't there that night but Vitto took his place) took on different "mask" and danced a night of moving transformation they experienced in each of their life's testimony.


Right after Deborah went up for the second performance of the night, I already felt like it's a night featuring all the best artist of the year or something. She belted out a song she wrote and won in a songwriting competition entitled, "Delete you". We were taken aback when Manuel, from Peru sang us Viva Forever with his bamboo flute! It strangely brought me tingles of nostalgia of certain times... mmm i mean the serene kind =)




This time the Street Nation took the stage by storm and had us all fixed and anticipate every dance move they make. In short, it was crazeeee!!


Leong managed to take some footage of the students from Sunway University College doing some interview about Merdeka I'm trying to get him to upload it on Youtube so you guys can have a look if you're on! =)

For the next act we had a Marielle on the vocals and Carlos on the guitar doing a medley of 2 songs for us.



Marielle had a bad sorethroat that day but she gave her best anyways! It actually made her sound even more soulful accoording to some, they never knew she could sing like that! They did "Shy that way" by Jason Mraz and Tristan Prettyman and "Dream a little dream of me" a version did by Laura Fygi.

The crowd gotten all hyped up as if Street Nation wasn't enuff, Flava Crew threw themselves up the stage (literally) to show us even more moves we've never seen before and by that I am not exaggerating.




Clad in a simple T-shirt and jeans, with his hair to flip and a guitar to play, it's a perfect recipe to stir a crowd, he knows how to capture the audience this time with only one musical instrument. Well, what can I say? He's good =)

Last but not least, saving the best to end the show, is our guest artist, T4C! There are really 3 of them but they mentioned they're looking for another one - here you can see Garrett all smiles fidgety with his fingers and tears. He just adores them. T4C belted out most of the songs from the likes of Josh Groban (You raise me up), Don McLean (Vincent(Starry, starry night)), Elton John (Can you feel the love tonight), Il Divo (Nella Fantasia) and everyone's favourite hymn,





All in all, this TOT is one of the best night of performance we've ever had. We had a full house. We had a fun night. We had the best emcee and we have the best team or organizers =)
Thanks to everyone who is involved and made this night one happen. Until the next TOT, take care and go crazee!!

-peace out-

June Pre/Post Report

Alright Alright...... This site hasn't been updated :) We're all humans ;) Look at the bright side, if we were Apes, I don't think we would even start blogging.

Well the month of June was something different.... How come? We had two events this month which is called:-

"Talent Quest" and our regular monthly event "Track Of Talent"

Ok WHAT happend on Talent Quest?

Well on June 20,08 we at Creative Life came out with an event called Talent Quest ( As you scroll down you'll get more info) . This was like having our very own American Idol, So you think you can Dance type of event but much more since we want to basically get whatever talent in it and be the ULTIMATE TALENTED FREAK on Talent Quest BUT...

We had to postpone it in the last minute and place the event on a much later date.

Reason:-
1- So that we can have more people participate
2- We can have more sponsors

The show did go on though. We had performances from our in-house crew, Ravelution and other outside members etc....

The highlight of it all was the talk about Passion Quest. An event that works with Creative Life to help promote a huge event taking place on August 3rd 2008.

Wanna know more about it? Come join us for Track Of Talents tomorrow night@7:30pm not only will we have our performances show cased but Passion Quest 2 will be the talk of the night as well!

Well that's it for me from my side. I have no idea whats on the line up tomorrow but lets be in a state of being surprised.

I'll be posting some videos right now if my computer does not give me any problem.

Rules and Regulations

LET YOUR TALENT BE TRUE TALENT…

1) Profanity isn't talent, neither is it creative so don't let it dim your spotlight!

2) All we want to see on stage are your hidden talents, nothing else. So, minis and skimpy pieces have to stay in your wardrobe… Guys, take note too!

4) Your thought process matter to us, but aggression in your speech during interactive sessions is not welcome.

5) The show must go on so don't pull out at the very last minute. Prior notice have to be given at least 2 weeks before the performance night and be punctual!
