1st song: 专属天使(Zhuan Shu Tian Shi) by TANK!!!

花样少年少女主题曲(Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu Theme Song)!!!

我不会怪你对我的伪装

天使在人间是该藏好翅膀

人们愚蠢鲁莽而你纤细善良

怎能让你为了我被碰伤

小小的手掌厚厚的温暖

你总能平复我不安的夜晚

不敢想的梦想透过你的眼光

我才看见它原来在前方

没有谁能把你抢离我身旁

你是我的专属天使唯我能独占

没有谁能取代你在我心上

拥有一个专属天使

我哪里还需要别的愿望

小小的手掌大大的力量

我一定也会像你一样飞翔
你想去的地方就是我的方向

有我保护笑容尽管灿烂

没有谁能把你抢离我身旁

你是我的专属天使唯我能独占

没有谁能取代你在我心上

拥有一个专属天使我哪里还需要

别的愿望要不是你出现

我一定还在沉睡

绝望的以为生命只有黑夜
没有谁能把你抢离我身旁

你是我的专属天使唯我能独占

没有谁能取代你在我心上

拥有一个专属天使

我哪里还需要

别的愿望

2nd song:超喜欢你(Chao Xi Huan Ni) by飞轮海(Fei Lun Hai)!!

心跳快得很可怕

呼吸大到有气压

手心冒汗可以浇花(可以浇花)

生活变四格漫画

喜怒哀乐被放大

身不由己没有办法(没有办法)

怎么可以这样怎么可以这样疯狂

怎么可以这样怎么可以这样

爱超出了想像

你就算世界与我为敌我超喜欢

你超喜欢你不能分离

我只相信这个真理

百无禁忌万夫莫敌

我超喜欢你

我慢慢不能清醒

终于不想清醒根本不用清醒

这个恶作剧

你想要对你说的话身体已替我表达

一旦爱了不能作假一度觉得很头大怀疑细胞有偏差

可是爱了没有办法

就是可以这样就是可以这样疯狂

就是可以这样就是可以这样

爱超出了想像

就算世界与我为敌我超喜欢你超喜欢

你不能分离我只相信这个真理百

无禁忌万夫莫敌我超喜欢你

我慢慢不能清醒终于不想清醒

根本不用清醒

这个恶作剧

3rd song:爱情学测(Ai Qing Xue Ce) by棒棒堂(Pang Pang Tang)!!!

常常偷偷背诵大人唱的情歌　

以为可以当作预习爱的功课

明应该学以致用公式全都出错　

看着妳擦身而过　

都呆了

交卷前一分钟答案都还空着　

应该怎么组合两个人的几何理

论和现实不同从来不曾想过　

面对爱情的学测　

都当了

我应该是坏还是乖

妳喜欢彩色或黑白

妳的笑代表拒绝　

还是等待　

答案我解不开

我应该被动或耍赖　

妳喜欢高山或是海

或许爱来得太快　

忘了所有对白

交卷前一分钟答案都还空着　

应该怎么组合两个人的几何

理论和现实不同从来不曾想过　

面对爱情的学测　

都当了

我应该是坏还是乖　

妳喜欢彩色或黑白

妳的笑代表拒绝　

还是等待　

答案我解不开我应该被动或耍赖

妳喜欢高山或是海

或许爱来得太快　

忘了所有对白

我应该是坏还是乖

妳喜欢彩色或黑白

妳的笑代表拒绝

还是等待　

答案我解不开

我应该被动或耍赖

妳喜欢高山或是海

或许爱来得太快　

忘了所有对白

i said to weizhen.. daren.. if u are already inside.. my give me a feeling to tell me.. if not.. give me a feeling after i see a cab.. but.. dun have any feelings.. so we decided to let fate decided.. decided on what.. the cab lor.. i said.. daren if u are inside the nxt cab to turn in will be hired.. if u are nt inside.. the nxt cab will be vacant.. and its true.. the hired cab came 4 times in a row.. i believe in my feelings.. but we dun wan to admit it.. so we kept playing.. so when rachel arrived.. she dun noe what we were playing.. but eventually.. she noes.. hahah.. bought a bday present and a card for him.. hopes he like it.. hahaha..

.Tuesday, February 06, 2007@11:52 AM.

im back..

got this news from mediacorp.. courtesy of mediacorp.. thankz mediacorp...

got the news that the superstar blog is closing soon.. and i mean real soon.. coz the superstar journey had ended le.. with DAREN emerging as the CHAMPHION and DIYA emerging as THE SECOND..

heres the comments the judes gave during the competition...

Round One - Rock
S1 Daren - Ni Kuai Le Suo Yi Wo Kuai Le by Power StationS2 Diya - Get High by F.I.R
Wearing a fiery red jacket and exuding a ‘cool rock god’ charisma, Daren gave a pulsating and totally rockin’ performance that literally tore the roof down. Judge Roy Li even commended him on his ending pose, which radiated undeniable star power, or as judge Dawn Yip likes to say, “电力十足” (can dazzle the audience with his electrifying eyes).

A glammed-up Diya, on the other hand, went for more audience interaction as she pranced about the stage and infused fitting liveliness into her song. It was clear from the participation and wild cheering that her supporters were not merely supporters, they were indeed fans. The judges liked her performance, but judge Anthony Png said Diya did not perform like she wanted the top spot enough.
Winner: Daren (5 out of 5)

Round Two - Unplugged
S1 Daren - Ji Mo De Ji Jie by David TaoS2 Diya - Zhi Fei Ji by Sandy LamDuet - Tian Tian Ye Ye by F.I.R
Wearing an all-white suit and softly crooning David Tao’s love song, Daren was sure to have melted the hearts of many girls out there. Judge Roy Li also praised Daren’s improvement in handling slow songs, which used to be his point of weakness.

On the other end of the stage, Diya wowed the crowd with a girly dress and matching white boots. She then brought them back to her childhood days as she used her husky voice to reminiscence about the little paper aeroplane that she used to play with.

For the first time in the competition, the two also performed a duet, which was praised by the judges for its well-rehearsed presentation. It seems like the amount of time the two spent together really made them good partners-in-song.
Winner: Diya (4 out of 5) Judge Dawn Yip’s vote went to Daren.

Round Three – Hip Hop
S1 Daren - Wo De Microphone by Wilbur PanS2 Diya - U Make Me Wanna by Elva Hsiao
Dressed in a dazzling blue track suit with loud prints in front, complete with a black cap and lots of attitude, Daren exuded the ‘cool’ factor in his performance. He even showed off his talent for beat-box in the beginning of the song. On the other hand, Diya took to a different style and found her womanly charm in hip-hop, as judge Dawn Yip pointed out. But while some enjoyed this segment, judges Li Weisong and Anthony Png thought that the pair was not relaxed enough in their singing and dancing to bring out the true essence of hip-hop.

Winner: Diya (3 out of 5) Judges Roy Li and Billy Koh voted for Daren.

Round Four – Jazz
S1 Daren - Sway by Michael BubléS2 Diya - Dream A Little Dream Of Me by Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald
It has been a long night, and both Daren and Diya were visibly (and audibly) tiring at this point of the competition. The judges lamented that there was insufficient passion in their singing, and judge Billy Koh even said that whichever contestant made fewer mistakes would win the round. Well, his vote went to Diya.
Winner: Diya (4 out of 5) Only judge Anthony Png voted for Daren.

Round Five – Song of their own choice
S1 Daren - Kao Jin by Harlem YuS2 Diya - Zheng Fu by Na Ying
This was the final song of the night, and the one that was going to leave a lasting impression on everyone’s mind. For Daren, he started off strong, but appeared to lose focus in the middle of the song. Judge Li Weisong said he used to prefer Daren’s fast songs, but he thought that Daren has really improved on his slow songs.For Diya, the judges generally panned her performance as one where she tried hard to show off her vocal prowess, but failed in getting her emotions across to the listeners. Judges Dawn Yip and Billy Koh both pointed out that her singing was not gentle enough.
Winner: Daren (4 out of 5) Judge Billy Koh preferred Daren’s performance.

news after the competition..

The moment of truthWith good showing from both Daren and Diya, and a close fight between the CD single sales and vote count, it was almost impossible to guess who would take home the final glory. The wait was excruciating. Fans were noticeably nervous, holding their breaths and putting their hands together ‘in prayer’, while Daren and Diya looked only slightly less nervous than their fans.
Euphoria swept through the sea of blue when Daren was announced the winner of Project SuperStar 2. According to Paul Chan, Vice-President for Branding & Promotions of MediaCorp TV, Daren received 59% of the total score compared to Diya’s 41%.

interview with diya after the competition!!!

There’s no denying Tan Diya’s singing prowess and mass market appeal. The petite girl with the big husky voice received the highest points from the judges in every competitive round in the second season of Project SuperStar, and each time, she sailed past the crucial elimination round with nary a scratch, proof that her vivacious wide smile has struck a chord with friends, fans and local viewers.
And when it was announced halfway through the Grand Final show that Diya’s leading in the vote count, we weren’t really surprised. I bet many of you viewers even thought the die has been cast and the crown for this year’s overall champion would sit prettily on her head.
Well, you knew what happened next. We should have known better than to underestimate the devilishly delicious Daren Tan.
Anyway, back to that sobbing image of Diya. We couldn’t scrub that sad face off our mind and grabbed her for an interview just as soon as she stepped off the stage…

How do you feel right now, Diya?
Diya: Actually I feel very … very, very happy… but erm… it’s a mixture of feelings… a lot of feelings right now. Actually I’m very sad that it’s all over; I mean I’m bit disappointed in some of my performances, but I’m really happy right now. I feel very relaxed, like I’ve gone so far and this journey is over, but at the same time, I’m very sad that this journey is over! Like, when I was watching the VT (video trailer of the Top 24 contestants singing the song Tian Gao Di Hou) just now, it really brought back a lot of memories.

You mean you aren’t sad that you didn’t win the competition?
Diya: I mean, I’m not sad at this very moment that I didn’t win; in fact I was very happy for Daren when it was announced that he won. I think he’s very charismatic and can attract a lot of people. I came out on stage with a relaxed mindset - no matter who wins, I’ll be very happy. But maybe when I go home tonight, I’ll think about what if I had won and how life would have been. But no matter what, I’ll still continue to work hard pursuing music and in everything I do.
This relaxed mindset… is that why the judges told you after the first song that you should aim to win instead?
Diya: Yeah, maybe that’s why. My music teacher (also one of the PSS judges) Anthony Png would always tell me, ‘Girl ah! You must have fighting spirit!’ I tried it before, the fighting spirit, and go out on stage with energy that says ‘I want nine points from you!’ I went out and screwed the entire performance. I think I don’t do well if I sing like I want to win. I do better if I enjoy what I’m doing.

You were sobbing quite badly on stage just now after the results were announced. That was because…?
Diya: Yeah, hahah… like I said, I’m very happy that the journey has ended but I’m also very sad that it has ended. It’s over. From the bottom of my heart, it’s really not because I’m sad that I didn’t win. From the beginning, I never ever came in to this competition with the hope that I want to win or that I must win. It’s the same thing even until today, so I was just really sad when they (the rest of the PSS2 contestants) were hugging me. I just felt like, I regretted not spending more time with them during the past four months, you know like, sometimes I was too tired and didn’t join them for suppers. I wish… I wish we could relive the four months again. I think they are 23 very fun-loving people, each and everyone of them, and I’ll miss them.

You said you will continue to pursue music, even if your mum’s not so supportive of it?
Diya: Hahah, well, my mum was in the audience’s seat which is one big thing for me already, and I’m sure that she’ll support me in whatever I do in her own special way. Maybe she won’t come down or say, ‘I support you fully; go and pursue singing’, but no matter what I choose to do in my life, she’ll be behind me. Yeah, that’s what I believe in.

Would you sacrifice your studies if an opportunity came along? (Diya’s currently a student in Nanyang Technological University’s Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information.)
Diya: I will definitely put studies first. I joined this competition with my parents’ blessings and I gave them the promise that no matter what happens, I will definitely try to put my studies first and complete the last one and a half years.

Why are you disappointed in some of your performances?
Diya: I’m quite pleased with my own performance tonight, but I’m a bit disappointed in my last song. Like what judge Billy Koh said, it was good in the beginning but not in the chorus. He said that I managed to touch him with my singing but the empathy would stop and not go any further. This is the same comment I’ve been getting since the beginning of the competition and I really hoped that I would have conquered the mistake but I didn’t. This is something I’ve been working on for the Grand Final so I’m a bit disappointed that I didn’t manage to reach his expectations. But on the overall, I’m pleased with my performance and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Out of 100, I’ll give myself 75 points; a borderline ‘A’ hahah!

You looked almost embarrassed when it was announced halfway through the show that you are leading in the vote count. Why's that?
Diya: Because I never thought that I would be leading! Moreover, during our rehearsals, Daren was ‘in the lead’ so I thought very naturally it should be him hahah! Plus, when I saw my cheerleaders Charlyn Lin and Sim Yun Ying standing in front, I assumed they were getting ready to cheer for me because I was losing.

Which is your favourite performance tonight?
Diya: My favourite performance would have to be… actually I think I enjoyed the last song the best but unfortunately that’s also the song that I feel I disappointed judge Billy Koh. I like it because it’s my last song in the Grand Final and also because I have a lot of feelings for this song. It’s a bit of a life experience, and plus I have a very nice ‘cake’ to stand on, and I have a really long dress, and it’s in the Singapore Indoor Stadium! It’s really a moment I won’t forget.

What do you want to say to your supporters? Because well, you don’t seem to be sad over the outcome.
Diya: I’m sure they don’t want me to be sad either. All this while, when I have my down times, I tell my friends that I feel like I’ve disappointed a lot of people, but they would tell me that I’ve never let any of them down from the beginning, and that they are very proud of me every time I go on stage and with every performance I give. And so I don’t feel sad today because I feel that no matter what they will still believe in me and be really proud of me. But I really want to thank them for all the effort and money they’ve placed in me. Thank you so much. I’m sorry that I didn’t managed to reach the highest point but all of you have brought me this far and I’ll continue to work hard.

Committed any boo-boos tonight?
Diya: Whew! Actually I’m very happy that I remembered all my lyrics because that was what I was most afraid of. But I was scared of the hip-hop performance because I nearly sprained my leg yesterday. I was dancing (in the rehearsal) and then maybe the shoes weren’t very stable and I almost fell down. So I had a bit of a phobia tonight but everything went well, though at the end of it, I had a toe cramp!! Hahah so I was on stage listening to the judges and trying to relax my toe. That was quite painful lah…
What’s the first thing you want to do once you finish this interview?
Diya: I’m going to party with the rest of the contestants, at some place secret hahah!

What’s next for you?
Diya: I have to visit my internship company tomorrow (Feb 5) ‘coz I’m suppose to start my six-month internship at radio station Capital 95.8FM tomorrow. I won’t be a DJ though. And then after that I go back to school for one more year before graduation.
So fans, it looks like you’ll still have to hang around outside MediaCorp if you still want to catch a glimpse of Diya!

Interview with Daren after the competition!!
Oh goodness gracious, we can hardly imagine the chaos that would ensue if the devilishly delicious Daren Tan upped his bad-boy charm by even a tiny notch. (Not that his female fans would complain.) Here, Mr Project SuperStar 2 flexes his (brain) muscles and speaks to us about the Grand Final, taking his shirt off and whether he’ll be going under the knife for any enhancement surgery.

Conservative parents can perhaps breathe easy that their young impressionable daughters wouldn’t be subjected to more gratuitous bare skin portrayed in the media. It appears that Singapore’s latest singing idol may not be a fan of stripping for the sake of being sexy.
“Ah no no no… I think it’s too troublesome, seriously!” Daren Tan, newly-crowned overall champion of Project SuperStar 2, told us with a loud chuckle when we asked him teasingly why he didn’t take his shirt off. He had just professed to being not sexy enough for his jazz number in the Grand Final last night.
Furthermore, the mummy’s boy (who once cried on national TV after seeing his mum weep, and who claimed nonchalance to brickbats from the public but would be devastated if his parents' criticises) strongly objects to going under the knife to ‘correct’ any physical features he might find fault with; he’s “just happy with myself”. Awww… doesn’t that make you want to swop his crown for a halo and chuck him under his chiseled chin?
Could that bad-boy image really be just a false front? After all, one would have realized that Daren’s an enigma that’s not to be underestimated.
He ended his first Quarter-Final round with only 28.5 points, one of the lowest that night and was booted out in the next round. From bouncing back to the competition in the Revival Round and consecutively scoring the highest points in the Revival Round (41.5) , Semi-Final 1 (43), Semi-Final 2 (44), Semi-Final 3 (40.5) and Semi-Final 4 (an average of 39 out of three songs), to now trouncing Tan Diya even while the popular gal was leading votes-wise mid-way through the show, everything has been unpredictable with Daren.

We are indeed piqued with curiosity over his string of successes. What’s the key, we asked?
“Basically I just treat every performance as my last performance. I didn’t hope so much, and told myself I could be kicked out in the next round and thus try not to be too disappointed,” he replied matter-of-factly.
Any clandestine lessons with music teachers or the other male contestants even?
“Nope… Diya and I are both judge Anthony Png’s students so both of us go down for our lessons together, and he taught us at the same time. I must thank our music director Wu Jiaming; if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have improved so much,” Daren said.
All the efforts and teachings have paid off; with his win, Daren will sign a two-year contract with MediaCorp, which will run concurrently with a two-year recording contract with Warner Music Singapore Pte Ltd. His debut album will tentatively be released in August this year. “I feel very, very happy and touched by my fans and everyone who supported me. I’m excited; this opens a new road for me, a new beginning,” Daren added.

While basking in his joy and glory, Daren was quick to remember his fellow finalist Diya. He told us he felt sorry for Diya because “she did really well and both of us gave our all tonight.”
While staying calm and cool (he attributed it to his officer training in the army) at the interview session held right after the Grand Final, Daren admitted to bouts of anxiety during the show. “I felt the pressure tonight, which is a pity, especially in the jazz segment. I think I was better in the rehearsals yesterday, possibly because I was more relaxed. Still, I don’t have any regrets in any of my performances because I know I’ve already done my best. What I have to show is already shown to everybody,” he said.
“And yes, I did feel a bit nervous when Diya was leading in the votes but I was more disappointed because I felt I could have done better in the jazz performance.”
Daren personally thought his last performance (where he sang Harlem Yu’s Kao Jin) was his best that night; feeling the closing song was the deciding factor in the final outcome, he put all his best efforts into it and savoured the moment with his family, friends and fans.
“Singing in the Singapore Indoor Stadium… wah the feeling was great, seriously… especially with so many people…. The volume of people really made my hair stand… but it was great; it gave me the energy to perform even better,” he recalled with awe, breaking his collected demeanour for the first time in our interview.
Now that the competition’s over, Daren plans on catching up on his sleep and pumping some iron to bulk up his build. “But not so big lah…” he grinned. Watch out everyone, a hunk is on the rise!!

went to meet wei zhen and rachel at bugis to laminate a card that will be giving to daren.. so went to bugis to find a nice frame.. but in the end.. we found nth.. so decided to laminate the card... we off after laminating the card...

headed down to kallang.. from kallang.. we took a cab down to the indoor stadium... reached dere around 4plus.. den we waited there for daren sis to pass us the tickets.. hahah.. while waiting.. we were chatting with some daren fc frends.. hahah.. know that daren came bout 1pm plus.. to do rehersal again.. so we continue to chat.. then a while later.. we heaed outside to walk.. while walking.. we notice carrie's car.. den we walked over.. to see who is in the car.. the car consists of carrie, maxi, mag, shiyu, jeff, averil.. thats all ba.. if i nvr remember wrongly..

took pics with carrie.. will upload lata.. den carrie ask us something..
Carrie:who you came to support???

We:Daren..

Carrie: come give me the handphone.. i deleted the pics.. hahah.. (she's joking)

after that.. went to meeting area to meet daren's sis to take the tickets.. on the way there.. saw angie coming out from the cab.. we shout angie softly and mummy loudly.. and she answered us.. but actually.. when we called her angie.. she heard us le.. hahah.. took pics with her.. upload later... den saw daren's parents.. den we pass his mom the present.. its easier to pass her now then later coz it will be quite difficult later during the show.. hope Daren like the present!!!

after that we continue to wait.. when in bout 0630pm.. using the premier gate.. coz we'll be sitting infront... went in... saw fc frends doing alot of things.. so we went to help them.. teach the other the cheer.. and etc.. about 0730pm.. the show starts.. AND AS YOU ALL KNOW.. IF U READ MY PREVOIUS ENTRY.. I WROTE THAT I HAVE WATCHED THE SHOW LE.. but on rehersal that day wasnt dat high.. coz not alot of ppl.. den ytd.. was damn high lah.. singing, shouting, screaming.. i had lots of emotions.. and i mean lots...

it was a great show.. am i right my frends??? better performance, better stage presence and etc.. better in all ways.. hahah.. DAREN DOMINATE ROUND 1 AND 5.. WHILE DIYA DOMINATE ROUND 2,3 AND 4!!!

DAREN'S CD SALES WAS 60% WHILE DIYA'S WAS 40%!!!!

WAS FEELING SCARED WHEN WE SAW THAT DIYA WAS LEADING IN THE PHONE CALL.. RACHEL CRIED!!!

but after that.. she was okie.. but feeling moody... then it was my turn.. i was feeling worried, scared when diya was singing zhen fu.. her last song.. had tears in my eyes.. but i controlled it from flowing down.. but i could not control my tears when they showed the tain gao di hou mv sang by daren and diya.. tears was flowing... AND I MEAN FLOWING.. NON-STOP.. was wiping my tears while watching the mv.. coz i noe that after the mv.. the results will be out.. coz we wacthed the rehersal le..

after the mv had played finished.. the results were in too.. i had tears in my eyes.. i was feeling scared, worried.. had lots of emotions going tru inside me.. so when the picture in the montior starts moving.. so did my heart.. and we noe that there will be a blackout later.. and they will announce it tru the pictures made up of other superstars finalist..

so when we saw the pics.. we cant confirm.. but when we saw the side of the hair.. we confirm it was daren.. i was jumping and shouting.. at that time the pics was nt done yet.. and finally.. the pics showed his pics.. DAREN IS THE WINNER OF PSS2 2007... weizhen. rachel and i and the rest of the fans were shouting and screaming.. we hug each other and cried.. YES.. I MEAN CRIED!!! i was happy.. damn happy... crying and feeling happy at the same time...

after the whole event.. we stayed a while.. told daren that we love them.. wave to the other superstars finalist.. saw kelvin and nat playing again.. but thos time more ppl.. jeremy chan, anson and the rest played with them.. the scene ther was sOoo funny lor.. hahah.. called kelvin alots of times.. but nvr ans me.. bad sia.. hahah.. wave to the rest.. then headed outside... wanted to wait for daren de.. but rachel and weizhen cant.. so we all went hme instead... hahah.. was damn high lor.. when we were in the bus.. hhahah.. think i will lose my voice tml ba.. due to screaming and shouting,.. hahah.. saw li there with her sis and frend too.. hahah..
