Tanya Chua falters but still makes her way Home

All eyes were on Singapore singer Tanya Chua when she appeared in front of a packed Singapore Indoor Stadium on Saturday for the Singapore leg of her Tanya and the Cities concert tour.

Chua cut a striking figure on stage as she kicked off the concert, her very first large-scale performance in Singapore, with the crowd pleasing number "Breathe".

But something was wrong.

The singer on stage looked like Chua and moved like Chua but she simply didn't sound like her.

Chua sounded hoarse and her pitch was a little off
during certain moments when she performed her hits "Bottomless Pit" and "I Do Believe".

It's unclear if the cause was a faulty microphone, a case of nerves or a dry throat, but Chua was clearly not herself.

However, Chua soldiered on and rallied after a short break and some water.

Turning point

Chua stormed back with "Key to Happiness", an original song from her planned English album.

This was the turning point of the show. This was what her fans have come to see.

It may have been the first time the song had been performed live, but what really left the crowd entranced was the way Chua delivered the Jazzy number.

Some members of the audience swooned as she brought them through the feel-good song, completely at home on the stage.

This marked the end of the song but also signalled the beginning of a much better performance by Chua.

The 36-year-old singer then wowed the crowd with an Indian Classical music inspired rendition of Rihanna's "Umbrella" and Lady Gaga's energetic "Poker Face" and then got them singing along to her favourite song "Darwin"
