#SHOWBIZ: Aina Abdul to Represent Malaysia at Eurovision Asia 2026 With 'Bluest Sky'
KUALA LUMPUR: Vocal powerhouse Aina Abdul has likened herself to a sports athlete representing Malaysia as she prepares to compete in the upcoming Eurovision Asia 2026 contest on Nov 14.
Malaysian singer Aina Abdul, also known as Nurul Aina Abdul Ghani, has been selected to represent Malaysia at the Eurovision Asia 2026 contest scheduled for November 14 in Bangkok, Thailand. The 33-year-old has likened her participation to that of an athlete representing her country, emphasizing the significance of the opportunity.
Her self-penned English single, Bluest Sky, will be her representative track, having been inspired by her thoughts on love and affection following the 40th Anugerah Juara Lagu (AJL40) competition. Aina spent an entire month working on the song, culminating in a grueling 10-hour recording session compared to her usual two-hour recording time.
She chose to write the lyrics in English to create a universal appeal, as the language is easily comprehended by many. Aina expressed gratitude to TV3 and Media Prima Berhad for choosing her to represent Malaysia at the prestigious Eurovision Asia stage, stating that she feels like an athlete in the entertainment sector. She hopes Bluest Sky will receive a warm reception from Malaysian music lovers and international audiences, emphasizing the importance of the task at hand for the nation.
