Thank You!

for your support thru-out the competition.

Campus Superstar '07, has finally come to an end after these few months of competition, with Shawn Tok emerging as overall champion. Tonight's show wasn't the best but at least it was the best the student-contestants could come out within limited time.

Over these months, we withnessed the 20 contestants' changes, from superstar wannabes to now confident and popular. Everyone had their own advantage, some were definitely good singers, some with appealing character, some with pure looks, some with unique never-say-die spirit... No matter who won, it didn't really matter i guess, its the experience and the exposure they gain which may help them in future.

I would like to thank September for co-hosting this space here, providing her comments and helping me when i was having some problems with the updating. I would like to also thank regulars who have been reading this space, and maintaining peace here, unlike those forums out there. Thank you!

Campus Superstar 2007 Grand Finals Results

CSS 2007 Overall Champion, Shawn Tok

Overall Champion Challenge

M1 Shawn

[Duet] On TV, it really looked funny to see you and Teresa on stage holding hands. The key of the song seems too low for both of you. You looked tensed and not into the song. Your he yin pitching was off. But you did a good job by maintaining your posture on stage.

[Choice Song] Good emotions! You captured the the feel and mood of the song. You still need to manage the low keys better. This made your high and kow keys very contrasting. Your jia yin was weak and you only sang it briefly. It was already very impressive for someone of your age to be able to express the feel of the song. Good job.

F2 Keely

[Duet] The duet lacked the chemistry. You could be sweeter in your rendition. You made a small mistake in lyrics, but luckily Zhiyang saved you. Your he yin pitch had problems. However, it was acceptable.

[Choice Song] You looked emotional but you didn't sing emotional enough. Your voca wasn't smooth, and sounded tired. You lacked the power required to sing the song. You were unable to tell the story of the song using your singing.

Male & Female Champion Challenge

M1 Shawn
(Standard Song)
The song's key was too low for you, it sounded like you were struggling. There were emotions but couldn't touch. This also caused your rendition lacked the power. You were constantly offbeat. And your jia yin was weak.

(Dance Song)
It was a good start. The key of the song was more suitable this time. Good energy in your performance, however the energy level wasn't your peak. You were rushing during your dance and your singing, the tempo were off all over the song. And some of your tail tone sounded too draggy.

M2 Benjamin
(Standard Song)
You were confident. The emotions were better than Shawn's rendition. Your low key was still unstable. Overall, your rendition was okay. Until, you made the fatal mistake at the jia yin part, you went po yin suddenly.

(Dance Song)
The song has simple and repeating lyrics, and you tried to differentiate them by singing it differently with abit of fun element. You looked and performed confidently. Good interaction with audience and dancers. However, you lacked the power and was breathless towards the end. And you sang the lyrics wrongly several times, jia yin was weak too.

F1 Zhengning

(Standard Song)
Your pitching was terrible, you were constantly out of tune. You were unable to control the low keys and your enunciation was very poor too. You need to improve on your vocial expression. However, the emotions and confident were there in your rendition. Good stage presence too.

(Dance Song)
You had the superstar/diva charisma. Your kou qi was correct. Your dance had the punch, and you looked natural. It was like you were performing at your concert. However, there were still some pitching problem, and your singing lacked the punch.

F2 Keely

(Standard Song)
Your expression of the song feel was much better than Zhengning. I felt your rendition was better than Zhengning's, at least I get the tune of the song from your rendition. However, you lacked the power to bring the rendition to another level. You lost control during the climax and went po yin. Remember to smile more, you looked fierce... :)

(Dance Song)

Your movement on stage looked abit unnatural. Your dance wasn't not fang enough. You kept looking on the floor, like reminding yourself of what to do next. And you were breathless singing and dancing. However, overall its was still okay.
