Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna try get rid of the guilt I'm feeling for not going to KLIA to welcome Vince back from Shanghai :( :( :( (His flight landed at 21.40 hrs)

Vince in top three at Asia Music Festival --> CONGRATS VINCE!! SO PROUD OF YOU! :)
By JASON CHEAH

PETALING JAYA: Akademi Fantasia heart-throb Vince Chong has emerged among the top winners of an international talent show in Shanghai.

He was placed third among 21 contenders in the Asia Music Festival, coming close to repeating the successes of Siti Nurhaliza (who was champion in 1999) and Liza Hanim (runner-up in 2000).

The 25-year old rising star belted out his hit song Mengapa Harus Cinta from his debut album and Keranamu Kekasih from the soundtrack of the epic blockbuster, Puteri Gunung Ledang, at the two-day competition.

The winner of the inaugural Akademi Fantasia season said he had gone to Shanghai to just enjoy the experience and was not thinking about winning. "Nevertheless I gave my best," he told The Star from Shanghai, adding: "I was happy (with my performance) as this is an international level (competition).
"Everyone was good, and the marks were pretty close."

He was pleasantly surprised that he was one of the top winners. The festival gathered top talents from all over Asia, including Kazakhstan, the Philippines, Hong Kong, China and Georgia. A Chinese singer won the contest.
Vince was not the only Malaysian representative. Female vocalist Ezlynn also participated.

"Meeting people was a big bonus," said Vince. "They are interested in my album and perhaps even a collaboration." This isn't the first time that Vince has competed in Shanghai in an international contest. After placing second in the "Astro Talent Search 2002", he went on to participate at the International Chinese Singing Competition, later that year.
