Mart Ilagan’s One Heart One Body One Soul put up a good fight to clinch one of the top 3 awards as the 2nd runner-up in the concluded Grand Finale night of Sing Singapore Youth Olympics Theme Songwriting competition held at FAR EAST PLAZA last March 5, 2010. Out of 107 entries, the judges picked 30 best songs for the semi-finals, which even trimmed down to top 10 Grand finalists. It’s already an honor for Mart Ilagan to be in the Grand finals, but getting one of the major awards, he’s already been blessed.
A 14-yr old 2008 WCOPA Jr World Champion, Ms Catherine Loria, performed the song with so much confidence as if she’s been living in Singapore for so many years already. Mart put up the good spirit of the Olympics using the 5 rings in the dance routine by the Groove Unlimited and the 5 colors of the Olympics symbol represented by the back-up vocals (Mia, Weng, Grace, Rogil and Asher). The audience was truly astonished with the over-all performance of the team which getting the highest percentage in the audience voting. Mart’s song was also breezed to the 2nd spot in the on-line voting with only few votes away from the leading song. The on-line demo was done by no other than the 1st Philippine Idol Ms. Mau Marcelo.
Once again, Pinoy proved that when it comes to performing, the element of being a ‘World Class’ is always been shown.
Congratulations Mart Ilagan, you are truly a Global Pinoy!
