The name ‘Hitz fm’ is pretty well known among Malaysians, it
is believed that Hitz fm is the number 1 English Radio Station in Malaysia. And
personally, Hitz fm radio is always being tuned into in my car. There was not a
dull moment whenever I drive around the city or even driving to class everyday.
I heard a lot about the MET10 Awards and I am so psyched to be given a chance
by Astro to fly over to Kuala Lumpur, all the way from Sarawak to personally
attend the MET10 Awards.
Malaysian English Top 10 Awards a.k.a MET10 Awards is a form
of celebration and honouring the Malaysian English artists whom topped the
Malaysian English Top 10 chart every week. MET10 charts airs every Sunday from
3pm till 4pm. It was first being introduced on 2000 and followed
by the first ever MET10 Awards in 2005. After 11 years, MET10 Awards is finally
back.
Without a doubt, the Malaysian English music industry is
slowly being accepted around the globe. I was so shocked knowing that ‘Half The
Man’ was actually Resh new single after he did a rebranding of himself last
year. It is so good that I would sing along to it whenever it is on air. That
explains how obsessed I was with ‘Half The Man’ and I was definitely rooting
for Resh on that night. And I did not miss the chance to take a photo with him.
Mission accomplished. If you know me, I am a shy person with a resting bitch
face. But in the end, I have to pluck up all of my courage to ask Resh for a
photo.
Enough with the pleasantries. Our driver picked us up from
the hotel at 5.00 p.m and reached KWC Fashion Mall around 5.30 ish. I must say
that the location is not the crowd’s favourite since there was not a lot of
people around. One can tell a good mall depending on its crowd. The event
started around 8 which is quite late. We were walking all over the StarXpo and
tbh, I was literally bored af since I have nothing to do at all. But then music
was playing, red carpet event started and the popcorn alongside the tarik was
served. The crowd was getting a bit wild, well not that kind of festival super
wild. Everyone was socialising, so that is a good sign indeed.
Here are the lists of the winners that night.
Best Male Artist: OJ Law
Best Female Artist: Elizabeth Law
Best Band/Group: Tres Empire
Best Song: #SUPERGIRLS (De Fam)
Best Live Performer: Kyoto Protocol
Best Music Video: Banana (Jin Hackman)
Breakthrough Act: De Fam
Tune Talk Hall of Fame: OAG
De Fam was definitely winning big that night. The trio won two
awards that night. It was the highlight of the MET10 Awards. Undeniably, the
song #Supergirls is catchy, don’t mind if I do but I usually sing along to the
song as well. I mean I believe that I was one of the #Supergirls. This was not
my first time seeing them live so I’ve expected a lot from them. The first time
was during Vivacity Megamall Opening and I was at the Nando’s opening at the
same time but since the stage was so close to Nando’s, I’ve decided to delay
the desserts and went off to cheer for them. It is not often we see a well
choreographed song with amazing and talented singer performing it effortlessly.
Back to the MET10 Awards, the trio did a performance of #Supergirls and their
newest single (which I forgot what the title is, I was so excited I guess).
I had fun, but I bet the entire crowd had their share of fun
as well. I really hope that there will be more MET10 Awards to come in
honouring the Malaysian English artist of their efforts and their talents.
Also, to have more crowds attending the awards as the attendances was quite
disappointing. Nevertheless, no one can organize a party like Hitz fm do!
Looking forward for more.
