The first season of The Final 1 premiered on MediaCorp Channel 5 on 24 April 2013. It is a Singaporean reality-singing competition programme created by the director of Hype Records Ken Lim. The judges were singer-songwriter Taufik Batisah, singer-actress Kit Chan and Ken Lim. Fly Entertainment artiste Vanessa Vanderstraaten was employed as the host of the show.[1] Class 95FM radio personality Mike Kasem later joined the show as the second host, and hosted the finals together with Vanderstraaten.

The show is also the first in Singapore's history to produce a female winner from an English-based major reality-singing competition programme. The past winners from Singapore Idol, a similar programme which has already ended its run in 2009, were all males.

On 21 August 2013, Farisha Ishak was announced the winner of the first season of The Final 1, beating Shaun Jansen, the recipient of the Wild Card save. She received a $50,000 record deal from Hype Records and a cash prize of $50,000.[1][2]

So far, only the winner and runner-up, Farisha Ishak and Shaun Jansen, are signed to a record label. Ken Lim originally stated he had no plans to sign any of the other finalists from the competition. However, on 23 September 2013, it was announced via the Facebook page of Hype Records that Jansen has joined Ishak in the label's artiste lineup.

Online auditions

The show is open to all citizens and permanent residents of Singapore aged 16 to 32 as of 1 January 2013.[3] The online auditions began on 11 January 2013 and ended on 15 February 2013.[3] To participate in the auditions, all contestants must register themselves at the official website of the show and submit an audition video of no more than five minutes long.[3] Over 1,000 audition clips were submitted for the competition.[2] Out of all auditionees, 60 were selected by the judges as the top 60 contestants and they were invited to perform in front of them at the top 60 round.[3]

Top 60 round

The top 60 round were held in W Singapore Sentosa Cove where the 60 contestants that were handpicked by the judges from the online auditions competed for a place in the top 40 rounds. Although 60 online auditionees were chosen, only 56 of them turned up for this round of the competition. Hence, four of the top 60 finalists eliminated themselves from the competition prior to the start of the top 60 round. The contestants first emerged on stage in groups but performed individually with a backing track or by playing with a musical instrument. At the end of all performances, 16 contestants who did not impress the judges were eliminated, and the remaining top 40 contestants advanced to the next round.[4]

The forty contestants who made it competed in this round and only twenty moved on. The contestants were divided into four groups of ten.

At the end of all top 40 rounds, all contestants were ranked and the twenty contestants with the most public votes advanced to the next round while the remaining twenty contestants were eliminated. Each group performed in front of the judges and was accompanied by a live band. From this round onwards, the results were solely based on the public votes.[4] The viewers were able to cast their votes via telephone, SMS text voting and the show's Facebook application. Votes cast via the telephone and SMS text voting made up 60% of the total votes, while the remaining 40% was determined by the number of votes received from the show's Facebook application.[5]

Top 4 (second week) – Their Original Songs

Mentor: Rai

Each contestant performed two original songs – one that was co-written with songwriters from Ocean Butterflies Music Forest School, and the other that was written entirely by the contestants themselves. All original songs were set to showcase creativity and originality from the contestants. Rai, a singer-songwriter as well as the member of Singaporean duo Jack & Rai, was employed as songwriting advisor for the top 4 finalists.

There was no results show for this week. The contestant who received the least number of votes the previous week was eliminated at the end of the performance show.

Order Contestant Song Written By Result

8 Shaun Jansen "Here to Stay" Self Safe

It was revealed that Glen Wee received the least number of votes the previous week and was sent home. After the results were announced, Ken Lim explained the rationale of delaying the results for a week as to show the contestants the consequences of missing the opportunity to perform their best. In reference to Glen's elimination, he stated: "I did mention that all of you should treat all your performances as it would be your last. But your previous performances were not good. It's extremely unfortunate that you provided your best performance after opportunities have eluded you."

Top 3 – Reprise Performance

Each contestant reprised one of their previous performances. The rest of the top 11 finalists returned to the show this week to share about their journey throughout the competition.

There was once again no results show for this week. The public voting commenced after the performance show at 9:00pm the previous week. The voting lines and Facebook voting system stayed open till the start of the performance show at 8:00pm this week. The contestant who received the least number of votes from the one-week voting period was eliminated at the end of the performance show. Daily voting updates were published from 2 August to 7 August 2013, via the MediaCorp Channel 5's Facebook page. The updates revealed the contestant with the most public votes as of 2:00pm on the particular day.
