Perspective
Previously, Music Express competitions were mainly focusing on Singapore tertiary institution students.
From the 12th to 18th, “Music Express” was divided into two groups which are group A, songwriting (contestants must compose the rhythm and lyric), and group B, lyric writing (contestants must fill in the lyric in the song provided by the organizer). Even though Group B is eliminated in the 19th Music Express, it was divided into Student Group and Public Group. However, Student Group was eliminated in the 20th Music Express. Despite this, Music Express has held its own event roadshows to the public outside NTU in 21st and 22nd Music Express. At the same time, the competition was promoted to Malaysia.
In the "Music Express" of previous years, Singapore's famous songwriters such as Ms Naomi, Mr. Wang Rui Qi, Ms. Xing Zeng Hua, Mr. Liu Guo Ming, Mr. Xu Huan Liang, Mr. Goh Kheng Long, Mr. Eric Ng, Mr Derrick Tham, Ms. Xiaohan, Mr Hong Junyang, Mr. Jim Lim and Mr. Zhang Si Er were invited to be the guest of honor and judges of "Music Express".
