    Please postpone the date of singing competition. Our Son's holy communion, so we will not get a chance to participate in the competition.

    Good to hear the singing competition program. But Sad to say that my daughter's first holy communion celebrations falls on the same day where I am expecting many friends from konkani music field to attend my program. Since it is a first holy communion season in Dubai I am sure there will be many other communion celebrations on the same day. Also I was planning to train & accompany many singers for the competition which is not possible due to the timing. I request MK to reconsider the singing competition program date after the communion season.

    Mangalore Konkans Gud job. Why dont you have more categories like ladies duet / men's duet. this would really give a opportunity to many singers to come ahead. There are a lot of people who are interested but dont get opportunity to sing, this would be a good platform. Please rethink on this issue.

    Dear organisers,

    Before finalizing the participants for the GVOM, would you please the event? People have no clue about the rules and regulations, jury and lot more information... Please maintain the same professionalism as it was like last GVOM. The GVOM 2008 was a great success and it should be noted that it was all because of the professionalism and transparency of the organisers from Kuwait. Hope you will maintain the same rhythm and I wish you all the best for GVOM 2010.
