国庆爱国歌曲，陈洁仪和孙燕姿各曾唱过两首，领先众本地歌手。

爱国歌曲从1984年开始被编入国庆庆典的重头戏以来，过去30多年不少爱国歌曲的传唱度非常高。而首位演唱国庆爱国歌曲的本地歌手陈洁仪，于1998年演唱了李迪文词曲的《Home》，之后有孙燕姿、蔡健雅、龚诗嘉、瑞恩、陈毓芸、梦飞船、许美静、林俊杰等。

众所周知，爱国歌曲最初以英语为主，知道90年代也加入中文版，分别以中英文版呈献，像陈洁仪的《家》…及瑞恩《勇敢向前飞》。

#NDP2019 all-star theme song: They forgot to call these Singaporeans https://t.co/AmsjA5vl1Q #Singapore #RuiEn @NathanHartono @plspreeti @sezairi @TabithaNauser pic.twitter.com/IgXNR1rvNK

This year’s National Day Parade (NDP) theme song is the most ambitious crossover event yet.

Reminiscent of Michael Jackson’s We Are The World, a total of 300 Singaporeans – including 27 musicians – across different generations were assembled to film Our Singapore (2019), taking 12 hours to shoot the whole thing.

Old is also gold for this year’s song.

But take a closer look at the music video and you may realise that some of our local stars are not in it.

Here’s who we think should have been included in this star-studded line-up.

PAST NDP SONGS ALUMNI

Singapore Idol Taufik Batisah made it, but not his partner from 2005’s Reach Out for the Skies, the popular actress Rui En.

A missed chance for them to recreate the sick dance moves from this song.

It’s all about love this week! Love for Rui En & love for our nation!

Favourite pic this week guest stars our Prime Minister Lee with Rui En & Taufik!

It was 10 years ago when Rui En & Taufik took to the stage of NDP at symbolic Padang, performing “Reach Out For The Skies”.

10 years on, they are back on stage together, this time at Singapore’s first and only UNESCO site – Botanic Gardens!
