Project SuperStar (simplified Chinese: 绝对 SuperStar) is a singing talent search competition organised by MediaCorp and broadcast every Wednesday and Thursday at 8pm on Channel U in Singapore. Project SuperStar was organised to uncover and develop young talent in Mandarin pop in Singapore. Closely modelled after the Pop Idol, 24 contestants were selected to enter the Quarter Finals of the competition. For both seasons, it was hosted by Quan Yifeng and Jeff Wang. Episodes were pre-recorded, and broadcast on Wednesday for male contestants, while episodes on Thursday feature female contestants. Result shows were also pre-recorded, and shown on the same Thursday of the week at 11.30pm.

The final four of the competition were:

Among these semi-finalists, Derrick Hoh Wei Jian and Kelly Poon were brought back through the revival round. Derrick managed to survive till the top 6, the eventual second runner-up in the male category while Kelly Poon emerged the female winner.

The highest score from the judges received was 44.5 points, by Hong Jun Yang, of a chosen song for the Top 2 male contestants, Tong Hua.

The highest for female contestants was by Sin Huey, whose score is 44 in her Top 2 female.

For guys, the lowest of the season is 24.5 by Wei Qiang, in Quarter Final 2.

The lowest received this season is 24 points, by a Quarter Finalist Wendy Zhuo Hui Ling.

The surprising thing was, in the top 4 the lower-scoring female and lower-scoring male got to get into the finals through public voting, with Hong Junyang's 40.7 marks losing to Kelvin's 37 marks and Sinhuey's 42.5 marks losing to Kelly's 38.5 marks.

Kelvin Tan and Kelly Poon emerged winners of their respective categories and competed in the grand final at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on 1 September 2005.

Kelvin Tan became the eventual winner with a better sales record and results from telepolling, garnering 64% of the votes. He won a recording contract with Play Music and has since released his debut album. Second-placed Kelly Poon earned a contract with Universal Music and has also released her debut album in February 2006.

Hong Junyang and Chew Sin Huey also released their debut album in May 2006 and October 2006 respectively. Derrick Hoh Wei Jian has also signed contracts with Play Music.
