ALEX TAN★Singapore's #1 Most Multi-Talented Emcee-Entertainer

For the 2nd year, I have been asked to do ANRC's Charity Dinner. Held at QianXi Restaurant at the Civil Service Club, it was SPORTY NIGHT- a sports theme. Naturally, when you are asked to do the second time, the options to entertain the same guests will shrink, but the overall feedback was that it was better than last years' & that I am getting better at improvising on the spot- which made me quite delighted afterwards, because I am usually quite critical of my own work.

In the end, I think it important to give back to society by doing my little part for them, simply because they really try their best to care for the needy.

Well, I look forward to the next Charity Dinner & will be ready for the next challenge for sure! 

Finally, the big day has arrived for WeeKiat & Tungni & I am all psyched to tbe back here at the beautiful historical Fullerton Hotel. They have the very beautiful colonial-styled Straits Ballroom, complete with high ceilings, a white intricate decor & a grandeur to match.

I sang L.O.V.E by Michael Buble which I mixed into the Wedding March for the lopvely couple. AFter which I went on to introduce the first dish with Be Our Guest.

After the reception, the bride TungNi came & thank me & said friends were asking where she found me. Immediately, I knew she was happy with my service. Even her mom said I was the star of the event, but I quickly rebuked, saying  that I am just representing ther true stars of the night- the Bride & the Groom.

We just did our colouful Our Singapore MultiCultural Song & Dance Show at MBS again!!!

This time Denise Keller was our host, so nice to catch up with old friends especially when she reminded me that I was the one who taught her how to catwalk, of course that is an overstatement, I just happen to be the choreographer for her very first catwalk fashion show. 

Anyway, this time we have a new challenge, the stage was an arena-style stage- right smack at the centre of the MBS Roselle Ballroom, so we had to face the audience at all sides, & we choreographed it in such a way that we can perform alternating between the 2 audiences on each side of the room as each culture takes the limelight in each segment. 

 I really enjoy doing this show as the hard work of creating a beautiful show really pays off this time, even I couldnt take my eyes off the video. I will be posting the clip really soon for all to gasp & enjoy!!!

I found this amazing track Cutiepie that's fresh out of the Bollywood scene & took an instant liking to the song. Great rhythms & a danceable beat is what get me going on. Indeed Filmy Song of the Year!!! Bollywood style from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil featuring Ranbir Kapoor

That's why I love to explore these great traditional rhythms mixed with modern beats as music keeps evolving- that why I love to do my Multi-Cultural Showtimes-featuring Chinese Malay & of course Indian influences

<a

This is true classic gold from the 70's Perfect for stretching my falsetto to the limit. I love the accapella arrangement too as I started out in the university with my accapella group Snjazz which almost won the varsity Talentime but didn't manage because the other group's mentor was in the judging panel-(Yap crying foul, unfair, "kelong" here) So we did get 2nd but we receive tremendous support!!!

Anyway, I thought of singing this for a Jungle Safari theme show I am doing in January for 3M Dinner & Dance at the Marina Bay Sands, together with my dancers, as it challenges me vocally with its insanely high octaves. Wish me luck!!!

Yes the title says its all!!! HUH????

Gaudy, Irritating & a viral hit, this kinda tells us a lot about the taste of many people nowadays when they gravitate towards puzzling choices as such, the song escapes me in terms of its content or total lack of it...well I can definitely agree it's catchy for sure! That's why music works wonders in connecting people...but great melody & a catchy tune without content is just pure HUH???

CRINGE!!!! lol

Update : it appears our dear viral sensation  Pikotaro has come up with an update of the tune, with Long PPAP!!!Double HUH????

But finally in this video, he clarifies how the inspiration came about, that is revealing & finally enlightening to ME! lol what a relief indeed!!!

3 Nov 16 Update

OH NO!!!! I CAUGHT THE BUG!!!!

Yes I guess i am going to make fun of it somehow & do it as a game, watch out for more PPAP Updates

 What a fun song to do to get everyone up on their feet! I simply just love the message here...

 Well, as a performer, I started out as a dancer before moving into being a choreographer, so can't help but recall how music makes me feel when I first started in showbiz. It's all about letting go & letting the music take over!!!

I am asked to finally do a wedding at SEA Aquarium! Yeah, so super excited!!!

The bride mention that there's going to be many old folks at the dinner, so asked me to cater Mandarin as well as Hokkien, TeoChew & Cantonese songs for them.

She also mentioned that there re going to be a lot of kids, so I thought I would entertain them by learning Under The Sea from DIsney's Little Mermaid-what a mouthful of lyrics!!!

But also so much fun, I delight in the challenge & finally can say I must be the emcee with the best knowledge in terms of naming fishes!!! lol
