During this round, I personally really enjoyed Dennis Lee’s performance who has partnered with Johnson Wong, GCM 2013 finalist in performing “再回吧我的心上人”. This combination has brought the classical “Rock” style onto the stage and hyped up the crowd!

Johnnie Lee’s “暴风女神 Lorelai” with guest performer, Kenny Koh (ATQ 2013 Champion) was splendid as well. It was an energetic performance which would make the audience feel like moving along.
