okay,we me and two other friends from my class Fadilah and Alia formed a group to audtion for Nurses day 2008 performance in school,we were planning to sing a song,first we had to choose the songs,well there was a problem,they wanted to dance and they wanted an upbeat song,but on the other hand i can't dance for nuts and i wanted to do a slow song,lol. so we had to comprimise and we choosed a song we all deemed as suitable and something we all know,the song is Bubbly-Colbie Caillet.it is not exacly a very upbeat song and not a very slow song too,its like somewhere in between like very poppy kind of feel to it.As always we had to choose whether we wanted to use a backing track,play an acoustic version with a guitar or do an accapella.We actually tried out everything,we used the backing track and the accappella,well the backing track was very normal,and the accappella we screwed up the beat and some parts of the song,so in the end i told them that i know how to play the guitar,thus we did a acoustic guitar version of the song.I went home to find the lyrics which it is at www.ultimate-guitar.com and i practised it,i wrote down the chords and the lyrics onto the piece of paper,we roughly know the song but we weren't so sure bout the last part of the song as in the lyrics,so we had to memorise the lyrics,we met up to practised on some days, Fadilah and Alia sang the melody,while i harmonise to make the song more interesting.We thought that the original song was too slow,so i upped the tempo a little on my guitar.We practised till we were kind of familiar with the song. Duringthe actual audition,everything was pretty smooth till the last part where we actually forgotten the last chorus,most prob it is due to us being nervous and that we have not really confidently memorised the lyrics to the last part.Well we did our best and with out timetable,its pretty hard to find time to practise with all the test and our lessons ending at 5-6pm everyday,well its the experience that we gained that is really what matter adnd for the fact that we have tried our best thats whats really the most important.Labels: lifeskill project
