MADFest on sunday was bizarre. It stands for Music, Art and Drama festival and carried an air of formality unpresent during JCR Jam, so we weren't sure what to expect. Definitely not the half naked, supposedly sexy.....emphasis on supposedly....musical dance number near the opening of MADFest.
Siobhan, our resident nightingale gave yet another beautiful performance, her opening act was a saucy french number and she finished the night with a heart trembling duet alongside shocking debutant Brendan Thornton on the song 'You raised me up' (Josh Groban).
Louis managed to elicit gasps from me and Connie with his entrance into the aforementioned jazz musical. Notwithstanding that it did kindda click that the performance was meant to be funny.
Andrew Hua and Rob did their own unique style of classical pop, with the Hua man going on to sing a rendition of father-daughter song and a performance of his own composition.
Kempo delighted with her sweet voice while we were also greeted with another unusual acapella trio on 'Eternal Flame' comprised of Harshini, Alice, and Suan Ee whose voice did indeed hold up during those lovely high notes (she had a sorethroat prior to performance and she did a great job nonetheless!).
'What a Wonderful World' and a duet with Ashley on 'Beauty and the Beast' revealed what an exquisite talent Simon Oakes had. He charmed the audience certainly with the duet.
Phebe Bicknell and AJ performed their version of 'blind karaoke', acting out hilarious scenes to songs, and a knee slapping laugh out loud performance came from Andrew Carey with the tutor Ashwini and Alex the dean. We never knew they could let their hair down......to such extreme! As they bouncd along to a Bollywood romance song.
Entrance by Julian Wallis in a Grease number that comprised of both song and dance, was another heartthrob awwww feeling inducer. Numerous performances by musical instrument playing ST Maryians were also enjoyable, to list were Megan Sykes on flute, Julie Boyer on trumpet, there was someone on ukelele I think was Michael Keefer...? Do we even HAVE a Michael Keefer?
A girl wowed us by an emotional song drama scene from Anna and the King, going all out on what will be her audition piece.....but I've forgotten her name, and that's very bad of me, but there were alot of performances and it's hard to remember names, though she was very good, so if someone could kindly remind me who that was, I'll add her name ><.
The night was abit of a blur so these are some of the highlights I remembered. I felt somewhat sick halfway and was trying extremely hard not to throw up. Con and I also attempted a rap version of 'A whole new world' while the boys were rocking it up on their drums and guitars and contemplated that we may perform at next year's JCR Jam.
We walked home singing, and shaking from the cold.
