The ‘Queen of Melody’, Shreya Ghoshal was in Singapore to perform at a mega concert in on November 14, 2014. At the same event, seven singing stars from Global Indian International School (GIIS) were given an outstanding opportunity to showcase their singing prowess in front of an audience of more than 10,000 spectators.
GIIS students Surabhi Athalye, Mathangi Krishnan, Rujuta Khanapurkar, Shruthi Nagarajan, Neeraja Menon, Rachna Murli and Shreya Tripathi sang two of Shreya’s most popular songs “Zoobi Doobi...” and “Nagada sang dhol” in two groups of four and three singers, crooning each number with confidence.
Out of the seven singers, four have been winners of the inter-school Global Indian Stars competition which has provided a unique platform for budding singers to showcase their vocal skills. For this event, all the singers were chosen after several stringent rounds of auditions. At the concert hall, the singers reached early for a sound-check and dry run on the vast stage. They also met Mr Hrishikesh Ranade, the winner of a popular Indian television show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa in 2009 and who also performed duets with Shreya Ghoshal later that evening. The excitement of the evening is best summed up by Shreya Tripathi, “It was time for our performance and we were on standby, backstage when out of nowhere, we spotted our idol, Ms Shreya approaching us and getting a clear view of the crowd and the stage. She looked gorgeous in person and seeing her just a few feet away from us left us surprised and speechless. Soon our names were announced and we went up to live one of the greatest moments of our lives!”
Melodious voices and confident stage presence marked the exceptional performance by GIIS students. The audience cheered for them acknowledging their efforts which overwhelmed them further with a boost of confidence. The students, along with their teachers, enjoyed the rest of the concert as Shreya treated the audience with her soulful voice and popular songs.
