Assessment Reflection - Western Song Individual Singing (August 3rd, 2011)

Hehe, this is what I've been waiting for. I did my first assessment and it was individual singing. Since singing is my hobby, I think it wouldn't be difficult to do the assessment and write the reflection here.
The song I chose to sing is "One Last Cry", originally sung by Brian McKnight. I didn't choose this song because I'm a big fan of Brian McKnight, but because a member of my favorite Korean pop group, Park "Micky" Yoochun from TVXQ!, sang this song on TVXQ! 2nd Asia tour concert. Here are the videos of the original singer and Park Yoochun sang the song. Which one is better? Park Yoochun for sure!

This song is about a person who is broken heart after seeing his/her lover being with someone else (cheat her/him) and he/she was going to left his/her lover but he/she poured his/her last cry before he/she leaves his/her lover. This song suits people who are going to break up with his/her girl/boyfriend or even broke up already.
I didn't do any important preparation for this assessment. I downloaded the instrument version of this song on the day Mr. Herry announced this assessment. I rehearsed this song everytime I could - when I had nothing to do, when I was in the car, and even when I was taking a shower! The weakness of my preparation was I didn't rehearse my song in front of other people.
Thankfully, the assessment went well. I almost forgot some parts of the lyrics because I was nervous after seeing my friends who had their turn before me sang very well. I could sing with following the instrument song well. A friend of mine recorded my performance but I haven't asked her for the video. I will upload the video as soon as I get the video from her.
If I had another chance to perform my individual singing, I would rehearse it in front of other people so I could listen comments from the others about my singing. I also wish that I could sing Asian songs because I love songs from Asian artists.
