>> Simply EteL

From Hanz... Thank you so much!!!!!! ^_^

“I knew right from the start that she is no ordinary girl…”

Sounds familiar to you? Indeed, I have got friends who really stand out among the crowd. There is this special gift that God gave them when they were born into this world. Gifts that help them tremendously in various aspects of life.

Here is a friend, whom I really admire and respect. She has this special gift, which she uses it with all her heart and soul. Once she uses this gift, people around her will be drawn closer. Closer to her heart, and closer to her soul… And the gift that she has, is a powerful voice. A voice that rings and captures the attention of many.

I have personally seen EteL perform “live” in my first year in the polytechnic. I remember she was singing “Perfect Lover” during the preliminary round and eventually the grand finals of the BA Talentime. If you were there, I guarantee, you will be HOOKED to her powerful vocal cords. Having joined a choir before, and often practicing her singing skills at home, EteL has developed a stable, well-controlled balance in her singing. When the song is of a high octave, you get a high octave, and vice versa. EteL hardly misses a note, and everyone of us can feel the passion and love she has for singing. Her voice leaves a very good impression inside my ears, and ever since I witnessed her truly great performance, I have been wanting to see (hear) more of EteL's powerful voice.

EteL loves Coco Lee, and in fact “Perfect Lover” is a Coco Lee’s song. When EteL performed this song, it was like, the love she has for Coco plus the passion she has for singing are perfectly wrapped up like a gift, and the gift blasted open right after the first few seconds, surprising the audience and leading to a long (really long) stretch of applause, cheer and shouts of moral support. “wo men yong yuan zhi chi ni…” (We will always support you). EteL’s voice is pro, her performance is pro, her efforts were definitely not wasted during the 4 minutes or so performance. I remember myself shouting “Idol! Idol!” to her after she almost completed her singing. The judges and all of us definitely feel that she is a great performer to have. EteL eventually won.

I went to EteL’s house before for a karaoke session with a few other classmates. And you know, I am always very eager to listen to EteL sing, because she doesn’t sound like an amateur, but like a professional tian hou (Queen). If she is a commercial singer, I guarantee you, her powerful gift will put some singers down in shame. This also tells us one thing – looks don’t mean anything, but talent sure means everything! EteL, ganbatte ne! Hope we can see you perform again sometime! I will be your faithful supporter!
