SINGAPORE: Joanna Dong, 35, has been active in the jazz scene and musical theatre in Singapore for a decade but it wasn't until July that her name became familiar to most Singaporeans.

She wowed judges and audiences in a blind audition on Sing! China which aired in mid-July, and now, she's headed to Beijing's National Stadium for the final of the Zhejiang Television show.

But there's a lot more to the talented singer, actress and host than her snazzy performances on the popular singing competition.

1. She's released a jazz album

Dong has been singing for more than 10 years but has remained below the radar since a brush with Singapore Idol in 2004.

She released a Jazz EP Lullaby Nomad (2008) and several singles with Red Roof Records. But audiences here may know her from theatre.

2. Veteran of musical theatre

Dong has won awards and played the lead in quite a few musicals since 2007, including If There Are Seasons..., Liao Zhai Rocks!, Royston Tan's 881 and Great World Cabaret.


Throwback to a few years ago, before we swapped out the holiday cones for afternoon craft gins. Bluff you one. We still eat ice-creams. Sometimes. . #dongnomnom #dongdrinks

3. Film and TV

Chinese TV audiences know her as a television host of a few shows on Channel U, including Life Extraordinaire and Homeward Bound in 2015.

She's even dabbled in film, playing a quirky, love-struck stalker in local movie Forever (2011) directed by Wee Li Lin.


4. Personal life

The Raffles Girls' School alumna is married to theatre practitioner Zachary Ho, who teaches at the School of the Arts. They met on the set of Descendants of the Eunuch Admiral in 2010 and got married in 2012.


She has an honours degree in Sociology from the National University of Singapore.

5. She was passed over by Singapore Idol judges

In 2004, Dong took part in Singapore Idol season 1. She was in the top 40 but did not make it into the final of the talent show, which was won by Taufik Batisah.

A YouTube clip shows the judges criticising Dong's dress sense, despite her "joyful" singing.


"You are dressing like your mother," Dick Lee, one of the judges, said.

She still can't sing in china. Looks like lip syncing.

She is 35 this year. As far as her youthfulness goes, she is on her last legs and she knows it. This is her last chance to make it as a pop star and enjoy it for a year or two before she gets retired because of her age and sagging face.

Many professionals still singing in their old age.aretha franklin being one.

Nowhere close to the likes of Taylor Swift or Miley Cyrus. These old singers often leech off the goodwill of their aging fans or perform in variety shows and cabarets.

The chinks are certainly not going to let sinkies win their chinkland national singing competition. The results are rigged such that only chinks will make it into the finals and win. But the competition would give this Dong milf the shot in the arm that her singing career so desperately needs.

The judges themselves are not much better in terms of achievements. Are any of them famous beyond Singapore?

Jazzed wrongly in 掌聲響起..
Should pick a wining song..:rolleyes:.
I agree. Her previous songs were much better choices. I feel that she did not do as well as her previous performances.

No matter what song she sings, she is not going to get to the finals. The Chinks are not going to let her win the National singing competition.

Just think how could the Tibetan singer Zha Xi Ping Cuo win the contest ? Half the time, I don't know what he is singing. He is just exercising his vocals. It is not really singing.
