Sunshine Nation Celebrates its 11th Season With Their Own Take on “High School Musical”

Friday, August 21st, 2009

Sunshine_poster_Aug

For the past 10 years, over 100 Sunshine Boyz and Girlz have been given the opportunity to shine on the Sunshine Nation stage.  This year, the organizers of this famed talent search were inspired by the dynamic performances in “High School Musical” and thought it a fitting theme for this year’s contest. On August 28th, the ten finalists of Sunshine Nation 2009, a.k.a. the Class of 2009, will graduate from their intensive training with a magnificent stage production, trying to win over the judges with their energy, talent and charisma. 

The Finalists

This year the Sunshine Nation finalists are the youngest in history, with an average age of 17.5 years old.  Despite their youth, they are extremely talented:  Alex is a ballroom dancer, Angel writes songs, Basil has a love for playing piano, Ivy is a hip-hop dancer, Grace is gifted in picking up new languages, Iver is an aircraft maintenance engineer, Jack is a basketball player, Jeffrey is a multi-instrumentalist, Julia plays pipa and Reika is fluent in Japanese. 

Since they were selected at the end of June, the ten finalists have been taking modeling, dancing, acting and fitness classes in preparation for upcoming events. On Aug 10th, they impressed the media at a Press Conference at the Stone Grill Restaurant in Vancouver.  Following that, the energetic young pack made their way over to the Vancouver Aquarium where they visited the two-month old beluga calf and her mother, Aurora.

Then this Saturday, August 22nd, the public will have a preview of their talents at the Crystal Mall.  The Sunshine Nation Talent Show is expected to attract hundreds of audience members with one winning a cell phone in a contest sponsored by Rogers Wireless.

According to the organizers, having the Sunshine Boyz and Girlz participating in these publicity events is essential.  It is quite obvious that the teenage contestants are gaining experience and confidence every time they put themselves in front of a live audience.

The Final Contest

The Sunshine Nation 2009 finale–where this year’s winners will be determined–is going to be held at Michael J. Fox Theatre on Friday, August 28th, at 8pm.  To ride on the success of “High School Musical”, the show will be a 2-hour production of singing, dancing, acting and even a tribute to Michael Jackson, the King of Pop.  There’s no doubt the ten Sunshine Boyz and Girlz, costumed in hip and chic school uniforms, will give the best performances of their lives.

“HotCha”–a Hong Kong Canto-pop trio, will be the special performers for the event.  Regan, Crystal & Winkie were born to be dancers. Performing a repertoire of up-beat and energetic songs since their beginnings in 2007, in only two years time, “HotCha” have won numerous musical awards, including “Favorite Female Group” and “Best Group Performance of the Year”.

Judges for this year’s finale will be Comic Productions / Meteor Garden Production representative, Fiona Sze; Manager of Neway Star Artiste Management Ltd., Joey Wong; renowned actress and beauty pageant winner, Cher Yeung; and Senior Vice President and General Manager of Fairchild Radio, George Lee. They will determine who becomes Sunshine Boyz Champion, Sunshine Girlz Champion, and who recieves the Music Talent Award. The People’s Choice Award will be determined ahead of time by an on-line voting system. Tickes are now on sale at Fairchild Radio at Unit 2090-4151 Hazelbridge Way in Richmond.

Audience Participation

The organizers of Sunshine Nation made a giant step this year by utilizing the most popular Internet networking sites—Youtube, Facebook and Twitter—to incorporate direct & interactive communication into the audience’s experience.   The official websites www.am1470.com and www.fm961.com are loaded with beautiful pictures, TV commercials, behind-the-scene footages and outtakes, personal information and self-introduction videos of the Sunshine finalists. Each of the Sunshine Boyz and Girlz has his or her own blog and has posted a lot of funny and intimate comments and photos to share with his or her fans. 

Also, anyone can log onto the official websites and vote for their favorite in the Brian Jessel BMW People’s Choice Award, and get a chance to win a $300 cash certificate at the BMW Gift Shop.

About Sunshine Nation

Organized by Fairchild Radio and Comic Productions / Meteor Garden Production, the Sunshine Nation Contest is an annual event giving deserving young people of Asian heritage the opportunity to embark on careers in the entertainment business by giving them exposure and performance coaching, as well as valuable prizes.  Along with their moment in the spotlight, they are also in the attention of talent scouts looking for the next Asian superstar, so the possibilities are endless!

又創作完一首新歌o(∩_∩)o…

Friday, August 21st, 2009

很多朋友只是知道我很喜歡唱歌,但是很少有人了解其實我也是一個很愛創作的人哦~

還記得我創作第一首歌的時候還是初中,好像是語文課吧,那節課似乎太無聊了。忽然靈感一來,就連忙把歌記了下來,結果還被老師發現開小差= =

以前寫的歌大多都是R&B風格的歌,最近忽然又愛上了RAP,今天做的就是RAP啦。其實對於曲來說,我更喜歡作詞,可能是從小就喜歡看很多小說散文,喜歡把自己心情用文字來舒發,所以歌詞對我的影響真的很大。

在生活中,我很多時候喜歡聽BOSSA NOVA或者NEW AGE這些比較空靈的音樂。大家也可以聽聽看,很唯美玄妙。

希望以後有機會能把我的創作展現給大家~

PASSED!!

我是Sunshine媽媽!
Hi, I am Sunshine Mama~!

Friday, August 21st, 2009

大家好!我是Janice,Sunshine Nation 2009的coordinator。我常常都稱自己為「Sunshine媽媽」!為甚麼?除了是因為我要出席Sunshine boyz和girlz的所有訓練和公開場合之外,也是因為10位參賽者都太年青了!他們大部份都只有16~17歲,最大的也只不過是22歲!他們全部都很有活力和很熱心,就像我經常喊的口號-「ENERGY ENERGY!!!」

Hello everyone!  This is Janice, the coordinator of Sunshine Nation 2009. I always call myself the “Sunshine Mama”!  Why is that?  Beside the fact that I go to almost every class and function that the 10 Sunshine Boyz and Sunshine Girlz have, it’s because the 10 finalists are all so young!  Most of them are only around 16 and 17 years old, even the oldest one is only 22! They are really energetic and enthusiastic all the time, just like my slogan – “ENERGY, ENERGY!!!”

在過去的一個月裡,十位Sunshine Boyz和Girlz已經進行過很多訓練,像catwalk、健身、跳舞、模仿、才藝、談吐等等。雖然他們的的日程排得非常緊密,十位小朋友都十分用功練習,為的都是8月22日的「音樂才藝表演」和8月28日的決賽。作為「Sunshine媽媽」,看到Sunshine Boyz和Girlz的成長和他們在這短短期間的進步,我感到十分驕傲。作為Sunshine Nation 2009的一份子,我肯定他們一定獲益不少,並且會好好珍惜這段回憶。真的十分期待他們在「音樂才藝表演」和決賽夜的舞台上盡情的展現出成果,發熱發亮!

做得很好哦Boyz and Girlz!我愛你們!~ ^o^

In the past month, the 10 Sunshine Boyz & Girlz have been through a lot of training, for example, catwalk, fitness, dancing, mimicking, talent, public speaking, and etc.  Although the schedule is extremely tight and busy, these 10 kids put in lots of effort, in order to do a great job for the talent show on August 22nd and the finale on August 28th.  Being the “Sunshine Mama” and seeing our SSNs’ growth, I feel so proud of all their effort and improvement over this short period of time.  Being a part of Sunshine Nation 2009, I am sure all of them will get the most out of what they have learnt and will cherish this memory.  I’m really looking forward to see all of them performing on stage at the talent show on August 22nd and the finale on August 28th.

WAY TO GO BOYZ & GIRLZ!  I LOVE U GUYS!  CHEERS~ ^o^
