Ramli Sarip, the 67-year-old veteran rocker from Singapore, stole the show at the New Year's Eve Mediacorp countdown show, Let's Celebrate 2020.
Ramli was one of the headlining acts.
While Ramli's arrangement and interpretation of his National Day performance was released to cheers, tears and some naysaying, reactions to his performance during the countdown programme were positive.
For the show, Ramli delivered a powerful raspy rendition of Van Halen's You Really Got Me.
His performance starts at around 1:33:37, complete with heavy guitar riffs and growling vocals.
