Under this topic, I would like to talk about the singing competition that is going to be on stage next summer, most probably from July to August, in Sri Lanka. This singing competition is sponsored by one of the renowned TV channels in Sri Lanka called Sirasa TV. Even though I am not a big fan of reality shows or singing competitions that are broadcast on TV and radio, I personally believe this one will be outstanding because this time they are advertising it in a more attractive way. For the judging panel, there are three of the most popular senior artists in Sri Lanka, so I believe they will provide good judgment for the contestants. From my childhood, I have received many compliments that I have a good voice and can sing well. Based on that, I thought if I could participate in this event, it would be beneficial for me, and I could also have some stage experience and showcase my talents as well.
