"For a local artiste having her virgin gig, I think it's been
very encouraging. I saw the support that she's got, the attendance
of the fellow colleagues and I think it's very, very good. The
chemistry with the crowd was excellent, I feel. The fans are
as professional as they come and I think Fann held her own.
And I hope there'll be more support given to local acts. There
tend to be this mentality that local acts are inferior, even
in English music; I think that is not true. There are a lot
of very talented people. I think Fann's My Story concept is
good. Well, considering the fact that it's her first time and
the first local act, I give her 7 out of 10."

Search winner, Vivian Lai
"I feel that with her short singing experience, her performance
tonight was very good. I think fast songs suit her and this
is the first time I've seen her dance, She seldom dances on
stage. This is a very brave effort! My own concert? I would
like to but I feel that this is a big gamble because many
elements make up a concert. I think she's very brave to put
up the concert. I haven't prepared myself mentally for that
yet!"

"For a new artiste, her performance tonight was very commendable.
It exceeded my expectations, judging from the fact that she's
not from a singing background but from an acting background.
I feel that she's got a lot of stage presence. She was nervous
at the start but maybe it was because of the microphone problems.
But after warming up, she was smooth. She was very good. Ten
years ago, I would never have thought that our local stars
could hold their own concert. Ten years later, this has become
a reality and I feel very proud of her."

"Fann is the
next wave after our batch of stars. Behind her are other rising
stars. My wish for Fann is that she resembles the middle wave
- a never-receding one. Hopefully next year, she will have
another chance to hold another concert and sing for us. What
she has achieved tonight is not easy. Fann, very good!"
 Good
friend and fashion stylist for
her concert, David Gan
"She's the first artiste to have her own concert. Of course
we won't say it's perfect. Can improve. But for a local to
hold her concert for the first time, we should feel proud
for her as Singaporeans. In fact we bought a lot that she
did not wear tonight because there's only this much time for
costume changes
."My favourite outfit? Tonight, I liked
the last costume, the Gaultier and I liked the blue dress
and the Martin Machella. I especially liked the Burberry.
I also liked the designs by the 2 local designers, one of
whom is Francis who designed the red cap with the dress. All
are specially designed. We bought so many clothes but not
enough time to put in everything.
"We spent up to $35,000 already when
we went to Japan. There were a lot of changes, the shoe change…
In fact the T-shirt that she is wearing now is about $1,000."
Fannatic
Fann Club founder, Belinda
"There were certain flaws in her concert but I've never seen
her so great after supporting her for 8 years. I think it's
really commendable. I think she's just great! She put in a
lot of effort. We think that everyone should be credited for
it."
 Ken
Lim, Director of Hype Records, Fann's record company
"Her performance was very good! Because she has to sing and
dance and so it's very difficult. What she has done is that
she has achieved what no other local artiste has achieved.
It's not just about singing but it is also about being a personality
and she manage to pull it off very well."
Fann's sister, Fan Woon Ching
 Which
part of your sister's performance did you like best?
"All of it."
Favourite costume
"I liked the outfit from Burberrys."
Will you follow in your sister's footsteps?
"I don't think so. I'm not into showbiz."
Did you two get to talk the night before
the concert?
"She came back very late because of rehearsals and I didn't
get to speak to her as I was already sleeping and she needed
to rest too. This morning, I woke up late and she had already
left home."
