Now for the real comments on Its My Life...

Yes, like I said, it was AMAZING :D... The voices, the stories.... They were all relevant to our lives as teens :)

That night, there was no such thing called 'calefares' or extras in the background of the whole musical.. Everyone stood out in their own Special way...

The only disappointment I had was that the character Colette should have more... well, scenes for the character's development or at least allowing the audience to have a better view of what the character really is all about... And she too, (*I think she was acted by Pam) had a great voice that was under used... But I'm no scriptwriter or director myself, so I guess her presense there to show that not all youths make it out of their problems a-ok... And I don't really have the right to comment on it :P

Lets talk about my good friend Xue Yi 1st... Xie Ting was really just Xue Yi for those who know her, you'll most probably get what I mean... The energy, the Singlish (*HAHA)... But there's one point that really shined through the musical... That Xue Yi is indeed a performer, esp in the music aspect :)... Her voice was... DIVA-LIKE... That power, and I loved the huskiness in her voice if you get what I mean :P... I think she'll make a great actress, though I would love to see her in other type of roles :P... GOGOGO XUE YI!!

Anard played by Movin speak to me the most, being the mommy's boy and all... OK FINE all the voices in the musical were MIND BLOWING... so will not emphasize how great all of their voices were... Ok maybe a few... Movin was great protraying out his character and I really loved it... In more than one way, it reminded me of the ever-so drama Arunan who is now back in KL... Miss that good friend of mine.... :(

Moving on, Nabil was great too! To capture the aspect of forced choice of his future career by his parents, he has really shown the pressure that parents have on their children about not only their studies, but their future career. Also, it goes to show that many parents still believe that the arts in Singapore cannot bring their children far... something that I also feel, though not that strongly for... But the vital question here is...

Practicality Vs. Passion

His 'not very malay' joke blew my head off! HAHA So FUNNY!

Farid was really into character and his power vocals helped him prove his point.... The bad boy turned good may have been cliche, but he made it all different... Because of the very fact that it was his own way of facing up to the things and learning to change... That made his character memorable...

Conan and Glory are two power vocalists... And it almost seems that their roles in the musical were like that of mordern day Romeo and Juliet :P... I was especially captured by Glory's vocals... Though their stories were interlinked and filled with all kinds of obstacles finally coming to a happy ending... It didn't really leave that great an impression... Maybe because I haven't met that kind of situation yet I guess...

Rong Min reminded me of how I too felt about myself... Always going with what the crowd feels we should be doing or acting... But at the end of the day, are we really fair to our OWN feelings?? Her vocals were, without a doubt great too!

The drama favourite, Clarice too swept the stage! Her comment that 'I told you I had Drama and Dance' made all AC ppl in the hall laugh like mad!! It was SOOOOO commical HAHA... Like AC all over again... But anyways, her character made me ask aboutmyself... Should we always take our parents' advice? No doubt they're right most of the time... But should we always??

As they say, Best for last...

I was really... really, BLOWN away by Sharon played by Sarah... WOAH... 1) Her vocals, you gotta give it to her, she's beyond the words good and great... Almost that of a pro, if not there already... 2) I guess cause she was so much in character that it also didn't seem that she was acting.. More of telling... telling us her story... I was so fixed on her when it was her scene just before she sang 'The Stranger In Me'... Though the song had a real strong influence of Corrine May in it (*Practically screaming out her name as the melody was played out HAHA), it was great!!! Really really great! I guess since my mom was almost like a single parent back then when I was younger since my dad's a pilot and all (overseas training for like 3 months or more?, not at home most of the time), the things I see in the character Sharon reminded me of my mom back then....

The tears I see from Glory, Conan and Sarah made it all seem so real to the audience... I guess the stories may have been based real strongly on the life stories of each one of them... Making the production so real, so easy to relate...

And I Love IT!!!

Its my life.. A production worthy to watch and if ever the recordings come out online or on Cds... Worthy of buying!!!

Oh btw, will be away till the 8th from tmr onwards... And will be away again on the night of the 8th to paris till the 13th of Dec... So see you till then!!!
