#SHOWBIZ: Nadeera Zaini: A Sitizoner at heart since age three
KUALA LUMPUR: Like many Malaysians, singer Nadeera Zaini is a devoted admirer of the National Songstress, Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza Tarudin.
"I admit that I am a Sitizoner. I have been a fan of hers for a long time. When I was three years old, I was told that the first song I ever sang was her track, 'Cindai'. Every time I heard 'Cindai', I would start dancing," she recalled.
The 32-year-old singer shared this revelation with 350 spectators who attended her recent showcase, 'An Evening With Nadeera', held in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
At the showcase, the Johor-born singer also performed Siti's song, 'Tanpa Dendam Di Hati'.
"I chose 'Tanpa Dendam Di Hati' because I truly appreciate the lyrics, which remind me not to hold any grudges against those who may have wronged me or hurt my feelings," she said.
