The excitement of who going to be the winner was intriguing. That song "I Believe" was a spellbound and all agreed the Tidbits presented it very beautifully. I felt with happiness with tears for the Tidbits when announced they got in the 1st place winner. It was an unforgetable event. I have that song "I Believe" of them in my songs collections and each time when I listen to it, it gives me such an emotional feelings of them and the wonderful memory of that talentime held. I did participated in that 1967-1968 talentime with my classmates, of all the songs we picked "Love Potion Number Nine for the semifinals...tough competition, all are so good, we did not make it to final, however I do admired the Tidbits for their supberd voicing harmonising all the way. Yes I was there seeing the final Talentime show live at the National Theatre in 1968.

"The Titbits" if I recall correctly is what the name of the singing trio was at the time (they later changed their name to "The Tidbits") were good, but I was among those who expected T.F. Tan to win with his rendition of "I'm Coming Home" by Tom Jones. And the most talked about topic during the heats was the perforemance of "My Bonnie" by an Ah Kua, whose name I cannot recall.bluecoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173105235668233526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-16890472639120642872015-05-13T06:45:24.527+08:002015-05-13T06:45:24.527+08:00Thank you anon for writing.

But the talentime program was broadcast over the radio if I remember correctly. I remember I tuned in the radio program and heard The Titbits and others contestants then. During those years, I used to buy the "Radio Weekly" mag that cost 30 cents. This weekly magazine used to highlight local talents and pop bands. It later became the "Fanfare" mag but I could not remember which year.FLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429286415685838183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-62147995804542104092010-08-27T09:32:17.832+08:002010-08-27T09:32:17.832+08:00Thank you Chun See.
