It was a gig bigger than we could ever imagine. People came from all walks of life to connect, communicate and collaborate with thousands of others over a song that had set the nation abuzz a month ago.

Months of planning and hard work was finally paid off when Everyone Connects launched the biggest sing-along ever in Malaysia, right in the heart of Jalan Bukit Bintang. Local celebrities, bands and fans came together in this unprecedented event to give their support and collaboration.

Over 5,000 people gathered at the event, which was also streamed LIVE on our website and viewed by almost 780,000 web users across the nation, thanks to TM. The big event also garnered close to 2.5 million impressions for the LIVE streaming banner across multiple websites.

We kicked off the party with a surprise act from one of our collaborators - a flash mob of Stompers, who got the crowd going when they got them to play various beats with different instruments. The act did not end there. We had an air guitar face off, which was subsequently, followed by the public joining in to form a samba train and mexican wave. What further shocked and puzzled the crowd was when our stompers frozed immediately after that.

The atmosphere heated up as the crowd gained in numbers and the sing-along began. Thousands of microphones were passed to the crowd as the hottest DJs in town took over.

And then came the song that started it all. As the memorable riffs of Through My Window played over the speakers, the crowd went wild. Even more so when one of the earliest collaborators for the song, Bunkface took the stage. And Bunkface wasn’t the only act to sing Through My Window. Reshmonu was also there to lend his voice sending everyone into another sing-along frenzy when he appeared out of nowhere.

Even celebrities from our Banner Concerts didn’t want to miss out on the fun. Shila, Tomok, Dafi, Mila & Akim; and Modread rocked the crowd with their own renditions of Through My Window as the evening went on. This was followed by up and coming bands chosen to have their own banner concerts, that included Rock & Roll John, The Rodeo, Marionexxes, maddame..., Saving Grace Period, and Basolaye.

It was an event like no other. Even when it started to rain, the energy and spirit that took over Jalan Bukit Bintang didn’t fade out. It was a huge first for Malaysia and the event truly proved that when everyone’s connected, anything is possible.
