Star Search 2007 Grand Finals

I guess many are waiting for this post.. and since cruz had put a link to my blog and somehow he declared this as the official fan blog (later i get eggs thrown at me), i will put up this post first although there are still a couple that's supposed to go up before this.

According to andie, tickets were very limited for the finals, every contestants were only given 50 stalls and 30 circle tickets, i guess it must be because of the numerous guests and that it's the finals, everyone wanna watch it live.. An hour before the show starts, there's already a long queue outside the theatre, i think they arrived early, hoping for good seats, and later did they know that seats have been allocated, nothing much to choose from..
Everyone was really excited before the show, andie's supporters were all dressed in red, together with the red and gold banners and glitters, we look really striking as a block of red and gold glitters at the top corner of the audience crowd.Friends, family members including grandpa, grandma, the 2 bang brothers, cousins, parents, their students etc etc... all anticipating a good show and hoping for good results.
Yes... this is the reason why most of us ended up with sore throat, loss of voices the next day.

Andie performed very well in all the segments, and he had quite a number of costume changes.First a group dance, followed by iconic protrayal of willy wonka and he topped this round. he came in second for the acrobatic stunt section, which we feel so much like watching a charaty show. next was a test of eloquence, his performance with patricia mok was fantastic, getting him top again. and in the final round, acting, all of us can see that he's really putting in his best, under the many layers of clothes, he had to "fly" around the stage, engage in fights etc... oh and i found someone who blogged about all the items and the results, you can take a look here.

And the result announcement, this is the most exciting part, everyone of us had out hearts thumping really fast, and they hold on to the final result for so long. ok dun wanna type too much. relive the moment here..

And a star is born. andie did it, he's the champion of this star search. i think from that point onwards, his life will never be the same again. and i think it's really an honour ro be able to receive the award from our president, andie must be really proud, oh no, his parents must be even more proud that they have a son winning the star search and getting the award from the president!!

He was too busy after the show and we neer had a chance to talk to him at all, the press and the media people were too busy hogging him, and he went supper with the costestants and the production crew after all the ra ra... so we had to go supper withot him. but we had the throphy with us!! and everyone wants a photo with it!! how often do you get to hold a throphy like that!!
It was indeed a job well done by andie, he was interviewed on the morning show on tv the next day (without sleep) and then on 933 too, you can hear the podcast of the 933 interview on cruz's blog (click to get there)..

All the best to andie and we'll see a superstar in the making!! he's going to be the next king of caldecott (copied this from cruz)...
