Take A Look Back At Joanna Dong’s Best Performances on Sing! China

Joanna Dong says it’s her mission to promote jazz to Mandarin-speaking audiences worldwide after her stint on Sing! China.

October 9, 2017

Singaporean singer Joanna Dong says her third-place finish in the Chinese reality singing contest Sing! China has made her even more confident of pursuing a professional singing career.

The 35-year-old, one of five contestants who made it to the competition’s grand finals held at Beijing’s Bird’s Nest Stadium last night, was knocked out in the second round of the finale, after a duet with her mentor Jay Chou as well as a solo song.

As Dong took her final bow on the stage, she maintained a brave smile but did not say anything.

After she exchanged a handshake with her mentor, Taiwanese Mandopop superstar Jay Chou, he remarked in Mandarin: “It’s such a pity.”

Tibetan teacher Zha Xi Ping Cuo, 30, beat Chinese student Guo Qin, 17, for the title.

A combination of votes from the audience and industry professionals determined the winner.

Let’s recap all thew wonderful performances Joanna graced us with during her time on the reality show, where she became only the second Singapore to advance to the finals following Nathan Hartono last year:

Following that, Dong sang a rendition of Fong Fei-Fei’s hit Applause (掌声响起) in the second round.

These two rounds placed Dong at third place with 19,220 votes, which meant she couldn’t proceed to the final two.

Speaking to the media after the show, Joanna said: “I will definitely be coming back to Singapore, and I will be based out of Singapore, but of course I will be shuttling between China and Singapore because it is after all really difficult to get your foot in the door into the wider Chinese market.”

“Now that I have, I also feel it’s my mission to continue to promote jazz to Chinese-speaking audiences – not just in China but worldwide.”

“I think I did what I could, and I’m really happy to have been able to share my music with all the audiences – here in China, as well as back home in Singapore,” she said.
