Development

Auditions

For the first time in Project Superstar history, the auditions were opened to the public without any restrictions on the age and nationality.[7] For non-Singaporeans or permanent residents, applicants must hold a student pass or work permit that is valid till the end of October 2014, to ensure their stay in Singapore throughout the contest period.[8] Besides removing the age and nationality restrictions from the competition, the show also allowed participants to audition in groups that is made up of not more than five members and the members must be of the same gender.[9] The highlights of the auditions were aired during the premiere of the show on 18 August 2014.[10]

Campus auditions

The auditions first started in the campus of three local institutions Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic and Temasek Polytechnic on 6, 7 and 19 May 2014 respectively. Only the students and staff of the respective institution were allowed to apply for the campus auditions. The campus auditions were hosted by radio personalities from Y.E.S. 93.3FM, with Chen Ning, Kenneth Chung and Xie Jiafa hosting at the Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic and Temasek Polytechnic auditions respectively. Auditionees who were successful in the campus auditions advanced to the round two auditions.[11][12]

Round one auditions

The first round of the auditions began on 7 June 2014 and was held at Caldecott Broadcast Centre. More than 6,000 hopefuls turned up for the auditions at the Caldecott Broadcast Centre. Due to overwhelming response, the audition period for this round of the competition was extended till the following day on 8 June 2014. The second day of the round one auditions was not opened to any new applications and was strictly held for the auditionees who were unable to meet the judges on 7 June 2014 due to time constraints.[13] Successful auditionees from round one auditions advanced to the round two auditions.

Round two auditions

The second round of the auditions was held on 22 June 2014 at Square 2.[14] 100 contestants each from the male and female category made it to this stage of the competition. From the top 200 contestants who participated in this round of the auditions, the judges narrowed them down to the 80 who progress onto the third and final round of the auditions.

Invitations-only auditions

The show also held a special invitations-only auditions for local professional singers who were scouted by the producers of the show. The scouted contestants attended the audition on 24 June 2014 at Caldecott Broadcast Centre.[15] Successful auditionees from this round of the competition advanced to the round three auditions.

Round three auditions

The third and final round of auditions was held on 5 July 2014 at UE Convention Centre.[16] Contestants were required to prepare three different songs to perform for the judges at this stage of the competition, with each of the songs either in karaoke, a capella or piano instrumental version.[17] Among the three songs that were prepared by a contestant, the judges would decide which song they would like to hear and the contestant would have to perform the song on the spot. The final 12 contestants who would advance to the live shows were announced at the end of auditions. Similar to The Voice and The X Factor, each of the judges chose two male and two female contestants from the final 12 to form a team of their own, and then the judges will mentor their respective contestants throughout the competition.

Finalists

Unlike the previous two seasons, the number of finalists that were chosen to advance to the live shows was reduced from the usual 24 (12 per gender) down to 12 (six per gender). In a format similar to The X Factor and The Voice, in addition to splitting the finalists into their respective gender categories, each judge chose two finalists from each category to form a coaching team of their own to mentor them. The two co-hosts of the show also selected three contestants from each category to act as their managers throughout the competition. The final 12 finalists were confirmed as follows;

Live shows

The live shows started on 25 August 2014.[25] As with previous seasons, each week's song choices followed a particular theme. Contestants from the male category perform on the even weeks from week two to eight, while the female category contestants perform on the odd from week three to nine. The an-hour-and-a-half-long live shows would take place on Mondays and would split into two segments. Each contestant performs during the first hour, while guest performances and eliminations take place during the final half hour.

A new interactive viewer component was featured for this season: The method of voting via paid phone calls and text messaging which has been used for the past two seasons of the show [26] was instead replaced by a free-of-charge online voting method via the Toggle Now application.[27] Each contestant would be given a designated voting window during their performance on the show. During the voting window, users of the Toggle Now application would be presented with the "Yes! I vote!" (known as "Yes! I want to vote!" on week two) and "No. I forfeit!" (known as "No, I do wish to vote." on week two) buttons on screen. Every selection of the "Yes! I vote!" button by the viewers would be counted as a vote towards the respective contestant, while the selection of the "No. I forfeit!" button would not make an effect to the vote count.[28] The voting procedure is limited to one vote per contestant per performance per device.[27]

The results were announced based on the accumulated points from the judges and the public's votes. Each of the judges would be able to award points to a contestant after their performance on the show and the total score from the three judges would carry a weightage of 75% for the respective contestant's overall scores.[29] The remaining 25% of the overall score would be based on the public votes received from the Toggle Now application.[28] The contestant who receives the lowest combined score (the judges scores and the public votes) would be eliminated at the end of the show. Contrary to previous seasons of the show, the judges' points were not revealed; the ranking result of the public votes were instead shown to the viewers before the results announcement. Another notable change, the Revival round, a round where singers perform to reinstate them from the competition, did not return this season.[30]

Show changes for the grand final

The grand final took place on 26 October 2014, Sunday at MediaCorp Studios,[31] with the duration of the show extended to three hours. For the first time in Project SuperStar history, four finalists, up from two, represented in the finale, and the finals was not held at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. The audience were still given the power to vote, but for just one contestant per category after a round of performances using a single device, thus restricting them to vote for both of the remaining contestants from each category for each round of the competition (or both the male category winner and female category winner during the overall winner decider). With the addition of two guest judges, score from each of the judges now carry a 15% weightage for the respective contestant's combined score, amounting to a 75% total. The public vote weightage remained as 25%.[32]

Musical guests

Each live show featured musical performances from various artists. Season two overall winner Daren Tan performed on the first live show.[33] The second live show featured performance from local singer-songwriter and Sing My Song contestant Ling Kai, while season one overall runner-up Kelly Poon appeared on the third.[34] Local a cappella group and The Sing-Off China runners-up MICappella appeared on the fourth live show,[35] while season two top 16 contestant Jeremy Chan and top 6 finalist Kelvin Soon performed on the fifth and sixth respectively.[36][37] The Freshman, made up of season two overall runner-up Lydia Tan and female runner-up Carrie Yeo, performed on the seventh live show.[38] The eighth live show featured performances from The Voice of China season two top 12 finalist Bi Xia.[39] The grand final would also feature performances from The Voice of China season three overall third-place finisher Yu Feng and top 16 finalist Li Jiage,[40] as well as guest judge Tiger Huang.[41]
