Let's Challenge Competition - Apr 06, GRAND FINALS!!!

It was the Grand Finals for Let's Challenge Competition - Apr 06 last night and is the event getter hotter or what?? It was full house and we even had to rearrange the seats a little to give everyone more maneuverability. We must apologise though... as it was a bit warm. Hey! but what do you expect out of a HOT event, right?













We had 11 finalists battling it out on stage, all vying to bring home the 7 prizes up for grabs. All of them sang well, and we could see that they put in lots of efforts... and they should, for this is no ordinary singing competition. It encompasses everything from singing, coordinating with the band, to hosting!! It even had a surprise segment, where the finalists are required to pick a wild card for them to do (a second round) either a Rock, R&B, or 清唱 version of their chosen song. After this second segment, the judges would like to say that rock songs are more easily expressed (Trudy's rock version of her song got everyone real high!!). R&B and 清唱 versions are on the other hand, not as easily handled. So to win this competition, you've really got to be very versatile!!

So, after an intense round of competition, the prized winners are:



Apr 06 Champion:
He sang 男人不该让女人流泪 with a stable, matured and powerful voice. He is humble and works hard to improve himself. The judges think he'll make it big if he continues this way and learn more singing techniques!! He is..... Bryan Neo!! Congrats!!

Apr 06 1st Runner Up:
He sang 安静 in his own style (the judges think it is a good try). He possesses a strong stage presence and has good and interesting hosting skills. He is...... Jeffery Xie!!

Apr 06 2nd Runner Up:
She was the first finalist to start the show (Maybe that's why she was a bit nervous for the first song) with her version of 天天. She "wow"ed everyone with her true skills in the 2nd song. She is...... Sharon Lim!!



Other awards were taken home by the following powerhouse:

最具有星味奖, Most Star Appeal Award: Crystal Tan, 裙摆摇摇

最佳主持奖, Best Hosting Award: Trudy Ng, 我要快了

最佳音色奖, Best Vocal Tone Award: Jasmine Lee, 写一首歌 Apr 5th 1969

We also had an additional prize for the night.... the Most Popular Contestant Award, which was to be voted by the audience. The audience though, were quite "cruel" tonight, for all but one of the finalists got negative points from the votes!! One of them (we shall not name the person) even got a record high of -92 votes!! (Come on people, we need to be more generous with our positive votes here...) And from there emerged our Most popular Contestant (the only one with positive votes), Alicia Li, who sang 白色婚礼!! Congrats Alicia!!



Congratulations to the above winners (actually we think all of them are winners, though not all are prized).
To the rest of the finalists (Victor, Tai Ann, Joseph and Justine), keep trying and improving, and come back again the next round ya? We should have the 永不言败 spirit!! Keep it up!!
