  "account": "Singer Shila Amzah advocates joining music competitions to help artists push their limits and uncover hidden potential within themselves. The 36-year-old singer acknowledges that contestants face immense pressure and tight deadlines, but each competition reveals new things about oneself. Shila emphasizes the need for both physical and mental strength to succeed in the entertainment industry, advising competitors to maintain stamina and mental sharpness through regular workouts. She reflects on her early days on \"One In A Million,\" noting the significant difference in challenges compared to today's tech-driven era. With today's instant access to knowledge, contestants can cut their own music tracks and find reference material more easily. Shila's true artistic satisfaction stems from delivering an outstanding performance rather than solely focusing on winning. She believes hard work is always evident in a performance, and what sets an artist apart is not just talent but the effort put into enhancing the song and bringing creativity to the stage.",
