Campus SuperStar (Chinese: 校园 SuperStar) is a spin-off of Project SuperStar, a popular singing talent-search competition in Singapore. The contestants comprise students from secondary schools, junior colleges and Institutes of Technical Education (ITEs). This differs from Project Superstar, where contestants must be over 18 to participate.
To date, there have been 3 seasons of Campus SuperStar. Season 1 and 2 featured 20 contestants who competed in succeeding episodes and eliminated until the final four to compete in the Grand Final, where only 1 would be crowned Campus SuperStar. However, there was a revamp in the 3rd season, instead of the usual 20 contestants, only 12 made it to the quarter-final rounds. Each episode had two segments. The first segment was the performance segment where contestants performed in the Mediacorp studio and were judged. This would be broadcast live from 8pm to 9pm on Channel U every Monday. Public voting through telepoll and SMS would start from time of broadcast, and would extend till 10pm (for Seasons 1 and 2). For Season 3, public voting would end at 9.30pm instead. The second segment, the result show, would be pre-recorded slightly after 10pm, where scores from the judges and from the voting by members of the public through SMS and telepoll would combine to determine the contestant(s) eliminated that night. The result show would then be broadcast on the same channel at 11.30pm.
The contestants are given a score from each judge based on their singing techniques, body language, and presentation. The scores were between 1 and 10, with 5 considered a passing score. In Season 1, judges' scores constituted 30% of the overall score, while the other 70% came from the public's SMS and call-in votes.[1] This percentage allocation was reversed for Season 2, but was reverted back to the original ratios starting from the semi-final rounds. [2]. For Season 3, the percentage allocation will be the same as Season 2, with the exception that for the Grand Final, it will be 50% judging and 50% voting.
