[edit]

Hi all, is any of the following salvagable? If so, the material should really be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 12:08, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Siblings who competed in the Finals in different years:-
    • James Chu 祝鏘鎛 (1995 Best Stage Performance) and Jacky Chu 祝釩剛 (1998 Winner)
    • Agnes Mao 毛立言 (2004 Finalist) and Peggy Mao 毛立慈 (2007 Finalist)
    • Lorretta Chow 周美欣 (2005 Winner) and Jessica Chow 周美蘭 (2006 Finalist)
  • Multiple year contestants (only those contestants who were in the semi-finals and above more than once are listed):-
    • Kitty Chan 陳宣霖 (1995 Finalist; 2000 Audience Popularity Award)
    • Alan Ho 何應麟 (1997 Finalist; 1999 Finalist)
    • Alex Chen 陳維屏 (1998 Audience Popularity Award; 1999 Second Runner-Up)
    • Alex Lee 李崗霖 (2000 Finalist; 2001 Semi-Finalist)
    • Rebecca Yang 楊詠薇 (2000 Semi-Finalist; 2001 First Runner-Up)
    • John Li 李強 (2001 Semi-Finalist; 2002 Finalist)
    • D'arcy Han 涵子 (2001 Semi-Finalist; 2007 Finalist, but dropped out of competition)
    • Warren Lo 盧韋綸 (2002 Semi-Finalist; 2003 Winner)
    • Jennifer Chao 趙玨 (2005 Semi-Finalist; 2006 Best Potential Newcomer Award)
    • Ginny Huang 黃瀞儀 (2006 Semi-Finalist; 2007 Finalist)
    • Eric Chen 陳冠勳 (2006 Semi-Finalist; 2007 Finalist)
  • Finalist who entered the contest the most times:
    • Scott Wu 吳瑋倫, he auditioned for five years straight (1998-2002) without success before he became a finalist in 2003
  • Youngest NTSA Vancouver Winners:-
    • Cindy Cheung 張瑋恩 (2001)
    • Warren Lo 盧韋綸 (2003)
    • Lorretta Chow 周美欣 (2005)
All three were 17 when they won. But, it was Lorretta's 17th birthday the day of the finals, so technically, Lorretta is the youngest NTSA Vancouver winner.
  • Oldest NTSA Vancouver Winner:-
    • John Lam 林子康 (2006)
    • Dionne Phillips 余迪安 (2008)
Both won at age 27.
  • Finalists competing in NTSA Vancouver who are actually based in another city:-
    • James Ho 何建邦 (2001 - Victoria, BC)
    • Seena Zhang 章穎 (2006 - Regina, SK)
  • In 2004, all of the songs the finalists sang were chosen by Fairchild TV. That was the only year this was the case. All other years had contestants choosing at least one ( if not more ) of the songs they were singing.
  • Because Vancouver were to hold the NTSA Vancouver Finals and the NTSA North American Finals in 1994, and the Canadian Finals in 1997 and 1999, the Vancouver Finals those years were less elaborate. The venues were smaller, the program was simpler and there were no special guests. These things were saved for the grand North American/Canadian Finals.
  • 1998 Finalist Jennifer Geddes made history for being the first ( and so far, only ) person of full Caucasian descent to compete in the Finals. She is also the first 16 year-old to make it into the Finals, marking her the youngest finalist until 2008, when Margaret Wang 王靖怡, at age 15, became the youngest NTSA Vancouver finalist.
  • Victoria, BC was included for the first time as one of the Canadian cities participating NTSA in 1999. The contest at Victoria, BC was co-hosted by Fairchild Television and CFUV FM102 at University of Victoria.
  • 1999 Vancouver Winner Chantel Wang 王亞文 became the only NTSA Vancouver winner who did not place in the top 3 in the NTSA North American/Canadian Finals. Instead, first runner-up Jade Kwan 關惠文 won the NTSA Canadian Finals. This is also the only time a Vancouver first runner-up placed higher than the Vancouver winner at the North American/Canadian finals.
  • 2002 Winner Rita Leung 梁璟裕 was the 2nd Runner-Up at the Sunshine Girl Pageant 2001 held by Fairchild Radio.
  • 2005 Winner Lorretta Chow 周美欣 auditioned for Miss Hong Kong Pageant 2007 and was crowned second runner-up.
  • 2005 First Runner-Up Aaron Chan 陳佑綜 was the 1st Runner-Up at the Sunshine Boyz Pageant 2002 held by Fairchild Radio.
  • 2005 Semi-Finalist Danielle Li 李東妮 auditioned in the NTSA Toronto Audition in 2006, where she made it into the Finals.
  • 2006 Winner John Lam 林子康 was the singer of two winning songs at the Canadian Chinese Songwriter's Quest (加拿大中文歌曲創作大賽) organized by Fairchild Radio: "迷夢" (6th Annual 2001 Winner), "難以拒絕" (9th Annual 2004 Winner).
