For the 108 contestants of Singapore Telecommunications Limited’s (SingTel) Lil Monsters go Gaga@Singtel Contest<\/strong>, held at the Singtel Comcenter today, there was little they wouldn’t do to see their idol live.<\/p>\n

The contestants sang and danced in their loudest, gaudiest Lady Gaga-inspired costumes during the contest, where the payout for the best 100 performers was one ticket each to the SingTel AMPed ‘Born This Way’ Lady Gaga showcase on Thursday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There were guys, girls, guys dressed like girls and vice versa, including one who turned up as the ‘Fame Monster’, with what appeared to be a pink scarf wrapped around his head for the event.<\/p>\n

The performances ranged from the bizarre – an ultra-emotional rendition of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi”<\/strong> – to simply amazing, where it felt as though the performer managed to channel Lady Gaga’s spirit.<\/p>\n

However, the performers’ courage and passion impressed the judges enough for Singtel to give away a pair of the coveted tickets to all the participants<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Pandemonium broke out among the performers when the news was announced, with some contestants openly weeping tears of happiness<\/strong>, while others hugged their friends and began dancing with joy to Lady Gaga’s music.<\/p>\n

“I’m so excited! I didn’t expect all of us to win two tickets each, it’s so incredible!<\/p>\n

“I’ve been a fan [of Lady Gaga] since her first album. I have all her CDs! She is not afraid to be different, she inspires all of us to be different and open up to society,” said a 22-year-old contestant, who only wanted to be known as Luke.<\/p>\n

“I feel very ecstatic, very happy! This is the best moment ever!” said 17-year-old student Brandon Chew, who spent five hours each day for three days, toiling over his blue telephone hat for the contest.<\/p>\n

For Chew, winning two tickets was especially significant as that meant he could take his close friend along for the concert.<\/p>\n

“I have a friend who couldn’t make it [for the competition] today, and he is also a huge Gaga fan, so I’m going to share it with him since he is also a ‘Little Monster’. I think he deserves it,” said Chew, beaming.<\/p>\n
