Knock-out Local Talents

Yesterday we posted about AvonVoices, the global talent search project started by Avon international. It being a Sunday, none of our team was in town so we had to give the event held at KL Sentral a miss.

This evening, Avon’s Public Relations Manager, Elaine Aisyah Abdullah rushed us some of the snapshots taken at the event and a brief account of what happened.

A lot of work had been put into the Sunday event and Avon Malaysia mentioned that only the first 300 registrations will be accepted. As it turned out, there were only 100 registrations. Therefore, the initial plan of picking 50 finalists from the 300 registrants went down to 34 selected finalists instead.

Now that isn’t bad news, really. If any of you people out there can sing but did not turn up at the talent search then it is your loss at a chance for the big win – a once in a lifetime to enjoy one-on-one vocal coaching by professionals in the business, rehearsals and in-studio recordings in the USA where you will be flown to as well as bathe in the luxury of attending styling sessions and Avon makeovers.


The 34 finalists selected on Sunday received RM200 worth of Avon hampers on top of getting their recorded performances on the day uploaded to www.avonvoice.com for the big win.

The contestants delivered all kinds of songs but the most popular according to Elaine Aisyah were How Do I Live (Without You), (You Make Me Feel) Like A Natural Woman and I believe I Can Fly.


The panel of judges, who are all talents themselves, wooed the crowd with their very own renditions of How Do I Live (Alyah) while Marsha sang her own composition Bila.

Level 2 of KL Sentral attracted a lot of attention from the crowd present and many came over to Avon’s counters to claim their free makeovers and other special offers on some of Avon’s selected products.


Thumbs up to Avon Malaysia for encouraging our local talents and supporting them to participate in this international event.
