Here is a little thing I did with SasaJ before she went loco and did so many live performances... ;)

After practicing for a day or two, I dragged Melissa to a small little pub somewhere near Kelana Jaya called Mandolin. Where my dad Ronnie Felix (Prince Of Malaysia) and Alvin Fletcher was performing as the G2 which stands for "Guitar Two". My dad's the guy in the picture below looking at his Gibson guitar pretending to know the cords to there you'll be by faith hill. I think he's playing this song for the first time but a pro always know how to look like a pro... :P
When my dad introduced Melissa to the stage he misheard her stage name SasaJ and said Zaza J... LOL... If you listen carefully to the audio in the video below, you can here Melissa saying OMG...LOL.
and me shouting YAH! later... It's quite a funny clip.... :D
After we sorted out her name SasaJ (not ZazaJ) sang two songs in front of a small but to my surprise pretty packed pub. She sang There you'll be and a chinese number “Wo Zhi Zai Hu Ni” made popular by Teresa Teng.
I set this one up to see how Melissa would react in front of a live, loud and in your face crowd (Way different for organized Karaoke competitions). She handled it quite well. It was also meant to give her more live band experience as she was more used to the cordless microphone and TV screen with text scrolling across kind of environment. (BUT NOT ANY MORE!)
She also wanted to experience more live performances because that TV screen can only deliver so much.
As predicted the crowd cheered and asked for more when she completed her two songs. As I was walking out of the pub a dude grabbed me and begged me to let her sing another number. I replied with my tribute to Terminator 2 Arnold schwarzenegger voice "We'll Be Back!"
According to my dad, ever since we left people have been asking for SasaJ to return and perform again with the G2. As soon as we finish up with all of her scheduled performances, I'm guessing we will return with a BANG!
