Our very own Nathan Hartono is killin’ it at TV singing contest Sing! China. At last Friday’s semi-finals, the 25-year-old crooned his way into everyone’s hearts — teenyboppers and aunties alike — with a mash-up of ‘Desperado’ by The Eagles and Mandarin tune ‘Can’t Forget’ by Angus Tung.
Hartono the Milo lover (“If I win, I will rent a fleet of Milo vans and treat everybody to Milo peng”) even got the highest score among the six semi-finalists and lots of love from the show’s audience. Obviously, his ability to transition smoothly between English and Mandarin songs has been a great hit, as seen by his ever-growing fanbase.
Now that he’s advanced to the show’s last leg at Beijing National Stadium, he’s officially the first Singaporean and the only mentee of Jay Chou to make it to the finals of this season. Big things are in store for this one.
Watch his performance at the semi-finals below.
The Sing! China final will air on Oct 7.
