"Gegar Vaganza" winner Liza Aziz dismisses notion of "easy win"
12 Feb - Liza Aziz has dismissed the idea that it was an easy win for her when she was named the winner of the 11th season of "Gegar Vaganza", having faced challenges throughout the weeks leading to the finals.
The singer, who spoke to the media following her win, said that it was wrong to say that the songs given to her were all easy songs, as she had only a week to learn them just like the other contestants.
"Usually, I would listen to the song multiple times until I got it. I wouldn't have won by not doing my best. It wasn't easy to memorise the lyrics as well," she said.
Liza also stated that she didn't expect to win that night, and had thought it would go to Ning Baizura.
"All I know is that I would be happy enough to be able to do my best performance. But to win, that's a bonus. Praise be to God," she added.
Liza performed Celine Dion's "I Surrender" and the duet "Cinta" with Kris Dayanti at the finale held on 9 February.
The second place went to Ning Baizura, with Sheila Abdul winning third place.
