Adrian, the first contestant, appeared very nervous, and made a fatal mistake by forgetting part of his lyrics. This made most of the fellow contestants cry on stage, one of which was Jarod. Adrian only managed to scrape a score of 20.5 out of a possible 40.0.

Jarod, on the another hand managed to clinch a score of 31.5, making him the highest scorer to date. After the scores were announced, he cried because Adrian forgot his lyrics earlier. One of the judges, Xiao Han, gave him a respectable score of 9.5.

C6 Benita Cheng 郑琪颖 林晓培 - 心动 6.5 + 8.5 + 7.0 + 7.5 = 29.5 IN


Ridhwan followed in Adrian's footsteps; he forgot part of his lyrics. As a result, he received a score of only 5.0 from Roy Loi. Xiao Han gave an encouraging score of 7.0, seeing that he's a non-Chinese and hence may have difficulty in remembering the lyrics, and also that Ridhwan was the only contestant in this episode who danced along with singing.

Jia Min edged out others in her scores due to her consistent performance. Jarod, the contestant with the highest score to date, unexpectedly scored lowest in this episode. Benita had an asthma attack at the Far East Plaza event last Saturday and that might have affected her performance. Generally, contestants chose the same genre of songs and judges commented that it was time to see contestants picking up other genres to challenge themselves.Jarod also escape from eliminated as he has the lowest mark for the night

Cavin is also a familiar person in this show, as he was selected to be the judge in the first season.

Trivia

  • The production team made an error during Stage 1; Shelly Tsai's school was displayed as Methodist Girls School instead of the supposed Hwa Chong International School. The error occurred during Shelly's first performance.
  • The first contestant of the very first round, Adrian Jorge, forgot part of his lyrics, resulting in his early departure.
  • Ridhwan Azman followed in Adrian Jorge's footsteps as he also forgot part of his lyrics during his very first round. But unlike Adrian, Ridhwan managed to stay on in the competition.
  • In the first six rounds of competition, Adrian, Mavis, Shelly and Rachael who were eliminated had the call number of C1. Whilst on Episode 4 and 6, Ai Jia and Jeremy had the call number of C2 and C4 respectively. In Episode 4, Host Yuan Shuai commented that this 'curse' was finally broken when Benita was not eliminated.
  • Rachel Chua became the first contestant to date to be eliminated and revived twice in this competition.
