Performance Evaluation

What did you performed?

- We performed 'The Only Exception' by Paramore. We performed it with an acoustic guitar and a bass guitar. Me and my partner—Lovely—we had a lot choices before we decided to do this song. We even thought about doing a mush-up of a handful of songs (which are in English and Filipino).

With who? on your own?

- As I said above, I was with Lovely. Lovely has always been my partner since day one. I love working with her because she always listens to your opinions, and would take feed backs and not take it hard or personally.

Why did you chose that song?

- We chose this song—The Only Exception—because the 'easy version' has just 6 different chords, and it is played with a capo. Significantly, I think it was only me that decided to do this song, but I think Lovely was okay with it too. This song is in a very special place in my heart, I knew this song when I was little.

Were you happy with your performance? Why?

- Yes definitely! Even though we only had 5 lessons to learn this new song, we got through it—especially Lovely, she learned how to play the song on the guitar—we also practiced during after school. When we performed it, I thought I was going to fail the fill in the bass, but luckily and thankfully I got it! (It is my first time playing the bass guitar in front of my class).

If you could perform again, what would you change?

- If I could perform again, I would NOT like to change anything. In the real world of performing, you cannot change after you perform. If you made a mistake, you will just go with the flow, just smile and be confident. For me performing is just all about having fun, enjoyment and entertainment. But yes, you need to do good (for the formal part of it). Performing is boring if you, personally don't enjoy it.
