Jiaja Rocks!
Well I should’ve blogged about this band like 2 weeks ago but forgot - anyway, no harm done, they are in the finals. If you are clueless about this then allow me to tell u.
Jiaja is a 4-piece rock band from Sabah, comprising 2 brothers (Jia & Ja), Karuk and Jim. They are participating in Blast Off Season 2, a reality tv talent search program, just like Akademi Fantasia & Malaysian Idol. Yeah I know - you’d say “oh no, not another way to waste my sms money”.
I’ve seen Jiaja perform only twice, last week and last night. From what I gather so far, last night was their best performance, so good that they topped the rock band category! From my personal review, it was a jaw-dropping performance.
They sang Red Hot Chilli Pepper’s “Give it away” and get this, the drummer was doing the rapping part! Their performance started with “Under the bridge” guitar intro, then went into the up-beat “Give it away”. For their bridge, they played CrazyTown’s Butterfly guitar melody and then back to the main song.
