We watched the first Eurovision Asia show last night and was so happy when the Philippines won! We were represented by Carmelle Collado who sang "Sobra Sobra". The song was composed by Nica del Rosario and Mat Olavides. It's a beautiful song written for women. Nica explained in one interview she wanted to give back the power for women.
It was also a rare treat to watch a contest with contestants from different countries. The timing felt very appropriate for the Asean Summit happening this week. It also reminded me of the days when I was a scout and had teammates from all over the world. That time was so precious and a unique and unforgettable experience for me. It's also a great experience for all the country representatives to meet singers like them from other countries.
I enjoyed watching the show last night and watched closely what kind of song each country performed. There were ballads and some dance songs. I was especially curious about Mongolia since we rarely see anything about that country. Bangladesh also sent a boy band and I couldn't help but remember my GSAs from there (and, of course, Monirul my bro!). But ah, I'm biased for the Philippines and Carmelle since I also got to watch that day she became the grand champion of Tawag ng Tanghalan (plus she's Bicolana!).
Here's Carmelle's performance last night, I hope you enjoy it like I did!
