Personally,

Listening to it for the 1st time at 9ish.

                            

Mediacorp "News at 9" broadcasted the new N.D.P. SONG & an interview with Don Richmond, so i went to watch it online &> i felt it was pretentious.

             

-the tendency to add Rap/Shiga is a gimmick( recently another N.D.P. SONG had a rap too) & is an artistic disaster.

-too many camera sweeping from Person#1 to Person#2 & before u know it...u have glanced at 30 strangers={

-i find it distasteful, & a disrespect to national bonding.

                            

👎

Personally I still prefer the older NDP theme Songs... more patriotic than the newer generations

I just noticed this year NDP got dancers wearing rainbow 🌈 uniform. I think is a good start and might be a “Sign” that calling SG to accept the rainbow community or as a representative of diversity to let the citizens know.

 

Okay, maybe I getting older so colour blind and I’m over thinking 😂

I start to wonder if I am Singaporean.   Why i never ever get tickets to watch NDP?  At cityhall trying to catch a glimpse of the fireworks from outside.  Many groups of PRCs new citizens going to the mrt holding goodie bag.   How???? Why????

As reported in the straits times:

 

"The top countries that granted them citizenship between 2019 and 2021 were the United States, Canada and Australia, statistics from India’s Ministry of Home Affairs showed in 2022. Singapore was the seventh-most popular destination, with around 7,000 Indians getting the red passport over the same time period."

These NEW citizens led to the Singapore Population to about 6 millions 

The actual bred-in Singapore citizens... 50%???

Not so bad lah..... After you hear it on radio a couple of times, you'll end up humming with it. Oh, I forgot, not many listen to the radio anymore 🤣🤣

 

And while I'm at it, what is your favourite NDP song that's not Home by Dick Lee? Mine's What Do You See (2009) and The Road Ahead (2021)

i don't have a degree in Music, but this i know for sure @JoJoMan, the older NDP songs have a feel-good-feel & a slower tempo.

 

 

 

 

all the new ones, 

The tempo of the song seems to increasing, lol

Just for the record, 

Last year i won 2 NDP tickets for Aug 9.

 

 

the song sounded electrifying from where i was seated, it felt like watching a disney parade for me, lol

 

 

But i respect ur decision NOT TO WATCH, 

 

U have officially saved yourself 2 hours on a yearly basis by not-being-interested, JK

🤩😍🥰😘

Err... pardon me, but I think your timeline is wrong.

"Our Singapore (2019 remake)" was done to celebrate our National Day on 9 August 2019.

 

Covid-19 only started in December 2019, and hit Singapore in January 2020 with Circuit Breaker on 7 April 2020, by this time "Our Singapore (2019 remake)" was history already eh...

 

For your information yeah.

[actually they had just done 'remake' a year earlier - "We Are Singapore (2018 remake)" - which was 1988 theme song]
