The wait is finally over, one of the most anticipated local singing competition, “Gegar Vaganza” (“GV”) is finally back for the 9th season!

The press conference for the upcoming reality show was held at KL Tower last night (Tuesday, 6th September). During the event, the 13 contestants for this year’s “Gegar Vaganza” were officially revealed to the public. Interestingly, some of the notable names in the lineup include vocal powerhouses Shila Amzah and Jaclyn Victor!

The full list of singers competing in this year’s “Gegar Vaganza” are as follows:

1. Shila Amzah

  • First runner-up of “One In A Million” season 2 (2008), and placed 3rd in the singing show “I Am A Singer” (2014)
  • Won “Anugerah Juara Lagu 36” and “The Masked Singer Malaysia” earlier this year.
  • Popular songs: “Memori Tercipta”, “Patah Seribu”, “Masih Aku Cinta”

In an interview with Ria X, Shila revealed that she was personally contacted by Astro themselves to join the programme. Prior to “GV”, she emerged as the winner of another singing show, “The Masked Singer Malaysia”. “To tell you the truth, I lost my confidence to perform on stage, especially after all the drama that I went through before, that I don’t feel the need to reveal in detail. While participating in ‘Masked Singer’, people might not see that I was crying behind the ‘Rambutan’ mask that I wore. For ‘GV’, I think I’m ready to make a comeback as Shila Amzah.” 

2. Jaclyn Victor

  • Popular songs: “Gemilang”, “Bertamu Di Kalbu”, “Satu Harapan”
  • Winner of “Malaysian Idol” season 1
  • Jaclyn Victor is no stranger among fans of the local music scene. The talented songbird has begged home several awards throughout her more than 10 years stint in the industry.

When asked about the reason why she joined the show, Jac revealed, “To be frank, I wasn’t really keen on joining the show. It’s not that I’m scared, but as far as I know, when ‘GV’ first came out, the show featured several artistes that have not been active in the scene for a long time. So when I received the offer, I was like ‘No, no, no, I don’t want.’ But then again, Astro kept on ‘attacking’ (convincing) me from several angles. But I think that’s why I consider this as a healthy competition, working together with our fellow friends.”
