- Campus SuperStar is a Singaporean television music competition to find new singing talent. Contestants are students from secondary schools, junior colleges and institutes of technical education. The second season began airing on MediaCorp Channel U on 28 May 2007 and ended on 25 August 2007. This is the only season of Campus SuperStar where the grand finals were held on Saturday instead of a traditional Sunday. Li Feihui was the only judge from the previous season to return, and was joined by Jim Lim and Jimmy Ye, who all appeared as judges for the first time. Previous judges Foong Wai See and Cavin Soh did not return, though Soh would later appear as a guest judge in season 3. Dasmond Koh and Pornsak hosted the show. This is the last season of Campus SuperStar to use male and female categories and have 20 finalists, before reducing to 12 acts and the removal of categories on the following season, which aired in 2009. The male category winner, Shawn Tok, from Loyang View Secondary School (then called Loyang Secondary School), was declared the winner of the season, beating the female category winner Keely Wee from Victoria Junior College. Tok was the first previously eliminated contestant to win Campus Superstar, and he received a two-year MediaCorp management contract and a cash prize of $2,000. The season also introduced to two contestants: 18-year old Xu Bin and 16-year old Stella Seah (known in the show as Huixian), who would later become a full-time Mediacorp actor and a successful songwriter, respectively.
