TEN competitors, out of 62, went through to the final round of the singing contest held at International Business Centre in Kamayut township on July 11.

The contest was organised by Laser Land Company, which presents the weekly New Age Program on the City FM Radio Station. Laser Tooth Paste was a sponsor.

Popular three girl-group No introduced the competitors.
All 10 girls vying for the prize sang the pop song Achit Ne Guitar (Love and guitar) by well-known singer Tin Zar Maw.

Judging the contest were retired singer L Khun Yee, songwriter Min Chit Thu, editor of Shwe Amu Te magazine U Win Nyein and Tin Zar Maw.
All 10 girls managed to hit the right notes – in fact, there was not much that separated them.

Tin Zar Maw said she was impressed by the level of talent on show. “I like all of them and so I don’t know who I will give top marks to.”

The 10 finalists were chosen based on voice tests held at the City FM Studio on July 5.

Three participants will be awarded prizes by singer Tin Zar Maw and the sponsor company, Laser Tooth Paste. There is also the possibility that one or more of the three winners will be chosen to have a record produced.

City FM adviser and audio engineer, U Kyi Min Thein, said the station organised the competition to uncover new talent.

He said the winners will be announced on City FM before the end of the month: “We will broadcast a 30-minute- long program in which each of the finalists will sing and then we will announce the winner.”
