Singapores Got Unusual Talent!!

1st Contestant: A student from NUS.. which is a mic hugger... *crickets*...
WTF!!! ver 1


2nd Contestant: Fast-drinker... not sure what to call him.. hehehe...
anyways he can empty that bottle in a minute.. hmmm that's fast...
 
3rd Contestant: talentless-free loader, sorry it's a talent show.. you can't just
got to stage and say you don't have any talents and wishing to grab that tasty jacket.. common!... *crickets*...
WTF!!! ver 2
4th Contestant: Move over Napoleon Dynamite this guy got the geeky groove :)
5th Contestant: The 4 contestans was sooooo bad that they call additional 2 people..
one and only chick on the stage... sang jap song.. nice and clever one...
she waited first to see if she can beat the first 4 contestans before raising her hand to sing...

6th Contestant: a promising talent that got my jaw hanging for approximatelly 45.372 secs... 
but the performance is sooooo damn... anothe *crickets*... WTF!!! ver 3
The talent was to throw the duke on the other side of the room..
and run to catch it.. while avoiding it from dropping the floor...
calling his friend to assist him.. gave the "trick"on his talent..
i think he should call his friend.. just let him appear of nowhere and assist him...
he need to go back to humor/trick school 101


It is sooooooo bad that I even recorded it...
