Bunga Citra Lestari hails Jaclyn Victor as Asia's best vocalist
BCL (centre) at the launch of her concert in Kuala Lumpur recently. – BERNAMA filepic KUALA LUMPUR: Not once did Bunga Citra Lestari ever imagine that her dream of sharing the stage with Asia's powerhouse vocalist, Jaclyn Victor, would finally come true. But it is now becoming a reality for the celebrated Indonesian star, widely known as BCL. Having long admired the vocal strength of the first Malaysian Idol winner, BCL said she could not contain her excitement when the Gemilang singer finally agreed to perform at her concert this September. At a recent press conference here to announce her BCL: Eternal Love – Timeless Romance concert, BCL described the opportunity to share the stage with Jaclyn as "deeply meaningful and a great honour'. ALSO READ: Indonesian diva and pop princess Bunga Citra Lestari all set to bring her love tunes to KLCC on Sept 27 "I've actually been a fan of Jaclyn for a long time. When she started singing at this event (the press conference), I nearly cried. "She has a powerful yet gentle voice. I think she is one of the greatest singers in Asia," she said. Organised by Pulse Project Asia, the concert will take the audience and fans on a journey through BCL's musical career, featuring a collection of love songs and meaningful ballads. The show will be held at the Plenary Hall, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, on Sept 27. Declaring that she cannot wait to meet her fans in Malaysia again after her last visit in 2023 for her Blossom Intimate Concert, BCL said her upcoming performance will not only be about music but also the emotional connection between Indonesia and Malaysia. "I'm honestly very nervous because I'll be surrounded by such talented people. "But I hope this concert will bring the two countries closer together and create a fun and meaningful experience for everyone," she said. Meanwhile, Jaclyn said she was touched upon learning that BCL was a fan. "I honestly didn't know whether she even knew who I was. We've met a few times, but never really had a proper conversation," she said. Jaclyn, who has won numerous awards, including at the Eighth Shanghai Asia Music Festival, said when she received the invitation to sing at BCL's concert about a month or two ago, she agreed without hesitation out of respect for the Indonesian singer's stature in the regional music industry. "She's a big name, not just in Indonesia but also in Malaysia. So why not? In fact, I really like the concept of her show," she said. As for the songs she will be performing, she said discussions are still ongoing and she has not received any specific song requests from the organisers. Malaysian electric violinist and music producer Dennis Lau will also appear as a guest performer. – Bernama
