Popular punk-pop princess, Avril Lavigne, is bringing her The Best Damn Tour show to Singapore on 7th September.
I didn't know who she was until I watched this competition at Cineleisure this afternoon. :P
awesome cheerleading stuntOrganised by 987 fm, contestants have to form a dance crew or a cheerleading squad of up to 6 members.
Winners not only get a chance to be the opening act for Avril Lavigne’s concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, they get to hang out with her! ..... and also receive exclusive merchandise, concert tickets, NOKIA handsets and other cool stuff! Wow! Awesomel!
eye-popping dance movesThe contestants were pretty young. All are students. I was proud of several groups who choreographed their dance and designed their own costumes. They are so passionate about dancing. Most don't have proper dance lessons, they learn by watching MTV or DVD concerts of their idols. Wow! *applause*
I admire their courage to perform in public. You see the camaraderie and cohesiveness of these youth. Several of them are talented and posses great leadership qualities.
introduction by the MuttonsHosted by Muttons, the judges and spectators enjoyed the performances very much. I enjoyed myself too, I'm impressed with the young performers. Bravo!!
Avril Lavigne concert is on 7 September 2008 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, 8pm.

This looks cool. One of my brothers is fairly active in cheerleading. It takes a lot of discipline and good teamwork to form a good cheerleading group, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteI'd come but the National Football League kicks off their season on the same day !! Damn
ReplyDeleteoceanskies,
ReplyDeleteYour brother is in cheerleading!? O.O
These young people are so amazing! They are oozing energy and youthfulness... and their beautiful sunshine smiles cheer people up! Gosh. Why was I such a nerd when I was in my teens? ish.
Young people should have more of such fun!

Avril Lavigne performed in KL 3 days ago and some quarters make so much fuss over her concert. S'pore youths seems to have more fun in welcoming the rock star...
ReplyDeleteSweet Jasmine,
ReplyDeleteShe's doing a world tour. So many youngsters and not so young :P are looking forward to her concert, even though the tickets are expensive.
I overhead some youths planning for a warm welcome at the airport. o.O

ReplyDeleteRenny,
ReplyDeleteI was awed by their dance moves. These kids are not professionals but they have achieve a high standard. It's commendable.
I cannot imagine kids doing such stunts, at least not from my son. :P

Doreen,
ReplyDeleteI have heard a couple of Avril's songs but didn't know they were sung by her. :P I'm not into pop music.
Carver,
ReplyDeleteThe kids put up a great show! They are good. The crowd enjoyed themselves very much. Much laughter and cheering.
Thanks for your encouragement. *happy*
napaboaniya,
ReplyDeleteThe music and these energetic kids make me wanna dance too...
Yahhh.... I was wary of my age and the rickety bones. I would love to try those stunts! haha...
You should send her a computer game of Mahjong so she can play when there's no kaki. kakaka....
The horny bitch,

ReplyDeleteI wish too! haha...
miel,
ReplyDeleteThanks for informing me. hehe....
I'm so honoured! Wow. So many good things are coming my way....
Yes, one of my two brothers is into cheerleading. While he is young, he's already a certified cheer-leading coach too. If you want, you can form a team and he can teach your group....if he's available, cos he is now serving National Service full-time.
ReplyDeleteoceanskies,
ReplyDeleteGosh!! If I want, I also cannot lah! My bones will be broken into many pieces and I'm sure I need an ambulance on standby! haha...
If my students are looking for a cheer-leading coach, I know who to call!
Cool!!
ReplyDeleteMy WS Entry is HERE
that is surely exciting for the cheerleaders- to hang out with Avril! I love Avril- from her first song even. I think, she has the package- voice, looks and everything else. Are you going to her concert? I am sure it will be a blast.
