Season 2

The first season of the Singaporean reality talent show Project SuperStar began on 22 June 2005 on MediaCorp Channel U. The show is hosted by Quan Yi Fong and Jeff Wang. The overall winner and runner-up received a talent management contract with Play Music and Universal Music Singapore respectively, together with MediaCorp. Billy Koh, Lee Wei Song, Roy Loi, Anthony Png and Dawn Yip were employed as the judges for the season.

On 1 September 2005, winner of the male category Kelvin Tan was announced as the overall winner of the season with a 64%-36% final vote, with female category winner Kelly Poon as the overall runner-up.

This season saw a profound success, and was introduced to a few contestants who would later become successful artistes: Darryl Yong who would later become a full-time Mediacorp artiste after participating another competition, Star Search, five years later in 2010, as well as Chen Jia Xin, Chew Sin Huey, Derrick Hoh, Hong Jun Yang, Sugianto and Hagen Tan, all of which became profound musicians in Singapore. The season also introduced Leon Lim, who would go on to finish as runner-up in the second season of MasterChef Singapore, 16 years later in 2021.[1]
