The much awaited and anticipated Theme Song for this year's National Day is finally out ! This year's Theme Song - Shine for Singapore ( English Version ) and it's Mandarin version - 晴空万里 will be sung by our Asian Idol Winner Hady Mirza and Joi Chua respectively .
Both Hady and Joi happen to be singing the NDP Theme Song for the very first time in their lives . But , especially for Joi Chua , who once expressed her desire and wish to be able to contribute something in the NDP Parade for the nation's Birthday , in an interview with a particular local newspaper some years back , has finally gotten the great chance and honour to do so this year , as she was being chosen to sing the NDP Theme Song for this year ! This year's National Day Parade will surely be a very memorable and special occasion for her !
But this chance has certainly not come that very easy for Joi though , especially after initial reports earlier this year that Stefanie was to land her voice for this year NDP Theme Song , which sparked a massive outburst from some Singaporeans on her being picked yet again to sing the NDP Theme Song and that the organising committee had eluded some other great local singing talents like Joi .
And whether it is by sheer coincidence or not , Joi was in fact picked by most Singaporeans as a better candidate and choice to sing this year's NDP Theme Song than Stefanie in a poll conducted by some discussion forums earlier this year .
But , in the end though , it was believed that Stefanie had some other commitments on her hand then - ( that she was chosen to be part of the many to sing this year's Beijing Olympics Theme Song ) that she was eventually replaced by Joi .
Whatever it is , first time singer for NDP Joi Chua has indeed done a very good job in delivering this year's NDP Theme Song so beautifully and to such perfection that every Singaporean and she herself too can really be proud of !
