In The Shower with :
Syltra Lee
(nickname Ivory)
I said, "Describe yourself in 3 words..".
She said, almost immediately, "Chick with Pick."
Pretty spot on...
Quick facts about Syltra :
Lives in : East
Occupation : Student, ITE Bishan
Favourite MJ song : Rock With You (great pick!)
Favourite Judge : Ken
Single/Attached? : "Single" <-- interpret that how you will...
Who does she think will win Idol 3? Jonathan.
If music is your first love, what is your second?
My second favorite love would be FOOOOD GLORIOUS FOOODD! There will be days when I eat just because the food smells nice, even though I am totally full. I will end up with a bloated stomach.
I love spicy food, and I guess maybe that is why I don't grow as wide as I should from eating so much, because spicy foods provide higher metabolism to your body! :D <-- really? I eat a LOT of super spicy food and my metabollic rate is dismal :P

Secret Single Behaviour : What do you do on your own that no one knows about?
This is a difficult one, I have quite a few weird/nasty/bad habits (hehe, the nastier the better!), ok i'll give u a weird one -
I sing or hum horribly out of tune off stage or when I am with my friends, it is something I do without noticing and my friends will either laugh at me, or with me or because of me :D
I guess its my way of relaxing?

You hum/sing offkey to relax? Ok, DEFINITELY secret single behaviour, thanks for sharing though!
summerr's take :
Offstage, Syltra looks really laid back to me, quiet, but friendly if you chat with her, but not crazy loud like some of the others. You also get a sense that she's in it to win it.
Once onstage, its all about the music and her guitar.
DEFINITELY a Chick with a Pick. This girl is the dark horse I have been raving about since the Theatre Auditions. And I hope she makes it very very far in this competition.
Check out some of her vids from YouTube. This one is a medley and its so very very good.
This next video I found by accident while browing Syltra's Youtube channel. 'You Learn' is my favouritest Alanis song and Syltra's version is so refreshing! Her laid back take on it with the slowed down tempo made a 15yr old song new again. See end of post for links to her vids, she has loads and is just such an amazing artiste - Chick With Pick indeed!
Make a date with Syltra!

Syltra performance is even greater whitout her guitar..her vocal is powerful singing song like Beatles,Abba,and shakira.hope she'll sing a song from Abba next.
ReplyDeleteHey Syltra,
ReplyDeleteYou must be an experience performer huh? Didn't know you and Farhan Shah appeared on Live & Loaded.
Sezairi has also performed in Live&Loaded as well, and guess what? Syltra, Sezairi and Farhan all performed in Episode 5! Wicked huh? (hahaha so random)
ReplyDeleteSyltra experience singing at so many events and video of her singing on youtube. I think its good that this season of Spore Idol got more experience performers competing for the next Spore Idol hopeful.
ReplyDeleteYou got the perfect voice! Singapore's answer to Michelle Branch!
