2nd Audition

From 1st Audition, judges shortlisted close to 100 boys and 200 girls, from a pool of approximately 4500 participants. These 300 shortlisted candidates were subsequently auditioned one by one on March 31, Saturday at MediaCorp from 1pm to 10.30pm. This was done indoors for a panel of 5 judges so that they have a clearer rendition of the quality of the contestants' voices. 60 contestants was shortlisted for 3rd Audition.

3rd Audition

The 3rd Audition was on 14 April, and started at 1pm. Similar to 1st Audition, the venue was at Toa Payoh HDB Hub. There were 24 male and 41 female finalists. The male finalists finished their performance before the girls. This time round, finalists would sing in-sync with music, different from the previous 2 rounds of audition. There was a short break after that and girls subsequently performed their piece.
Judges on that day were Jimmy Ye, Jim Lim Qi Yu  and Wu Jiaming. They gave comments for each contestant.
3rd Audition successfully ended when it was about 6.30pm. An one-hour break followed. Meanwhile, some finalists were requested to perform some songs, and dance. The names of the final 10 students of each gender were finally announced, to compete on national TV.

. But both of them only made it to the Top 40.


Shawn Tok 卓轩正, from Loyang Secondary School, Season 2's youngest competitor at a small age of 13, is well-received by the judges and received commendable scores of 24 and 25 out of 30 from the judges in Quarter Final 1A 4 June 2007 and Revival Round on 16 July 2007, respectively. Despite his body size typical of that of a child, he is equipped with a cute image, backed with a strong, powerful voice. All 3 judges of Season 2 have high hopes for him.


Xu Bin scored the lowest score in Season 2 in Revival Round on 16 July 2007. Each of the judges awarded him a score below 5, which is often considered to be the "passing grade". He obtained only 12.0 points with his monotonous, and badly-articulated rendition of 简单爱.

Judges did not give any comment throughout the 1 hour show, but each of the 3 judges gave 4 comments for 2 male and 2 female contestants during the result show.




The highest and lowest score of Season 2 surfaced in this episode. Shawn won a favourable 25 marks from the judges with his powerful rendition of 木乃伊, while Xu Bin scored the lowest score ever in Season 2. Each of the judges awarded him a score below 5, which is often considered to be the "passing grade". Xu Bin obtained only 12.0 with his monotonous, and badly-articulated rendition of 简单爱. Overall, there were also numerous people scoring lower than the previously lowest score of 16.0 - contestants seemed to be underperforming.

Viewers votes from this round account for 70% while judges scores would only be 30% of the overall score. For the next 2 weeks, the semi-finalists will sing drama theme songs.


Zheng Ning received a very low score of 13.5 after performing a lower-key version of 一千年以后, and was off-tune at many parts of the song. However, she surprisingly managed to stay in the competition, probably due to her large fan base. Generally, judges were also given an impression that all 5 female semi-finalists could not manage their low notes properly.
