Here’s a really grainy video taken from a handphone of robin and me singing “I’ve got you under my skin”.
To prepare for this one song on stage at a small jazz club in KL, Robin kept telling me to listen to all the different versions i could find of the song. Hear how the different singers have interpreted it … listen to how they’ve made it their own. Then when I sing it …. know & understand every word … and make it my own.
I practised and practised and practised for that song with heaps of help from Robin. Nite of the performance … I was all nerves so we split the song into parts and did it as a duet.
I sang “I’ve got you under my skin” again at a gay couples’ 15th anniversary a few months later and many were surprised. they all loved the song … and my interpretation of it. Thanks best fren 
Its really through Robin that I learnt, not just how to appreciate a singer’s interpretation of a song, but how to really sing a song.
My best friend has a concert at the esplanade, 17-20 Jul 2008.
Its got a R(18) rating.
I think its the first concert to have ever gotten one in Singapore. Ain’t that something!
Knowing Robin, he’ll be singing about being gay and living life to the fullest! And saddest too … because you have to have those torch songs.
He’s a singer who’ll sing you his version of the songs he’s picked to entertain you for the night.
If there’s a story in, about or related to that song … he’ll tell you that story too.
So this is a plug to tell all my LJ friends and anyone reading my blog to go buy a ticket to watch Robin in concert.
HAPPY ROBIN
