Long time, no see! So while I'm deciding how much to focus on Eurovision, I'm also going to be taking the time to make some videos about my other great musical interest, which is AJL, the annual original song contest from Malaysia.
I've basically followed every year of this contest and some of my favourite songs are from there. Some of my regular commenters who speak to me conversationally will know about my interest in this contest already, but for others, this is a chance for me to share some of the great music we have.
If anyone is visiting the channel for the first time because of AJL videos, I say welcome! My channel is usually an English language space and I will be communicating in English through the comment section. If you're unable to do so, that's fine, I'll happily translate comments for my regular users where necessary.
I am also experimenting with new video editing software so my videos might be looking a bit basic for a while or have some technical issues. Do bear with me and share feedback where possible! It's all new to me and I'll try to do better.
Quick explanation: The songs contained in this video are the finalists, decided by a jury, from a pool of 30 semi-finalists. The final will take place in February but the broadcaster can be a bit funny uploading these performances to YT. If there is a song that you'd like to see that's unavailable, just let me know in the comments and I'll upload it to my googledrive for you.
I'll also provide some playlists in a pinned comment below containing the studio versions of the songs for anyone to check out if they'd like to.
