Band Idol MBSA 2008

Alhamdulillah, in overall, it was a satisfied performance for Sapphire in the qualifying round, held last weekend. This yearly event expected to grab the attention most of amateur local bands to take part. According to the official organiser, the participation response were great & have seen many talented bands turning up showing their music talent.

Opening on last Saturday, Sapphire started the round on the Sunday morning session immediately after the registration counter opened. None other bands were there, at 2nd Level MBSA (Unit Kebudayaan Section, where we were the 1st band participated on that day. Everything was going quite well & I think we've carried the good morning mood of the 3 senior judges of MBSA, with the So Lonely, cover song by Loudness.

Ara's vocal though a bit flat at the beginning, but we guess it was so unnoticeable as he managed to cover up it back immediately. But overall, the high pitch vocal thrown by Ara has stunned the judges to focus on our playing till the end. With the clean playing & great tone blastering out the Roland amp, Nazri was complimented for his playing style by one of the MBSA official. Poey & Khir also seems to tightly paired together which made the song a real compact, solid & perfect along the way.

Hopefully we manage to win the judges's score & get thru' to the next round....adiosss!!! Long Live Sapphire!!!
