Music Review:

With the National Day 2002 drawing closer, you might notice more MTVs on the National Day theme song (1998-2002) are screened over the T.V.... Out in the market since May, there is a compilation make in conjunction to the National Day, 'Sing Singapore 2002'. All the theme songs over the past few years were included in the album... Other National Songs like 'Singapura, Sunny Island' and 'Gelang Sipaku Gelang' were also re-sung by various artistes from Mediacorp's stable...

Thumbs up: Theme songs still prove their value of becoming hits and definitely not to be missed... They include:
1998 - 'Home' & 'Jia' by Kit Chan 1999 - 'Together' & 'Xin Lian Xin' by Evelyn Tan & Dreamz FM 2000 - 'Shine On Me' by Jai & 'Xing Yue' by Mavis Hee 2001 - 'Where I Belong' & 'Shu Yu' by Tanya Chua 2002 - 'We Will Get There' & 'Yi Qi Zou Dao' by Stefanie Sun

Thumbs down: Tay Ping Hui seems to try very hard to sing 'Singapura, Sunny Island'... from a slow and sweet song to a 'restricted-rock' song. Hence making it one of the not-so-nice re-make in this compilation
