KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 15 — The day finally arrived for Malaysian singer Aina Abdul to take the stage at the inaugural Eurovision Song Contest Asia, performing her track Bluest Sky.

Performing as the 11th and final contestant, she finished fourth in the competition yesterday in Bangkok, Thailand, scoring 152 points, which comprised 82 points from the professional jury and 70 from the public vote.

The Philippines’ Carmelle emerged as the competition’s first champion with 211 points, followed by Thailand’s Mang x Daou with 170 points and Vietnam’s Tóc Tiên with 164 points.

Beyond bringing Bluest Sky to an international audience, Aina complemented her performance with a distinctive stage presentation that told a story through visual symbolism.

Her performance featured a concept centred on water, using the element to represent sadness and emotions often kept inside.

The performance began with visuals of a single drop of water before gradually building into a massive wave, reflecting the growing intensity of emotions and the difficulty of letting go of a deep love.

The concept was further brought to life through a giant water-drop-shaped stage prop, LED visuals and a costume by Malaysian fashion designer Melinda Looi.

Featuring turquoise blue and translucent details, the outfit complemented the water theme that ran throughout the performance.

At the end of her performance, Aina greeted the audience with, “Assalamualaikum Thailand, may you find your Bluest Sky in your life.”
