''Campus SuperStar'' is a Singaporean reality television singing competition to find new singing talent, contested by aspiring singers drawn from public auditions. The show began in 2 January 2006 and is broadcast on MediaCorp Channel U. It is a spin-off of ''Project SuperStar'', and contestants comprise students from secondary schools, junior colleges and institutes of technical education. The concept of the series is to find aspiring singers studying in secondary schools, junior colleges and institutes of technical education and put them together to compete for the ''Campus SuperStar'' title where the winner is determined by the judges and viewers. Winners chosen by judges through judges' score and viewers through telephone, Internet (gift-to-vote), and SMS text voting were Ng Chee Yang, Shawn Tok, Jarod Lee and Bonnie Loo. Winners receive a two-year management contract with MediaCorp and a cash prize ($2,000 for season 1–3, and $5000 for season 4). Season 4 winner also receives an opportunity to perform with Mandopop singer Della Ding Dang in ''Glass Anatomy the Musical''. The series employs a panel of judges who critique the contestants' performances. The original judges were radio personality Foong Wai See, music producer and composer Li Feihui, singer–actor Cavin Soh and vocal coach Peter Tan. The current season's judging panel consists of singer Jim Lim, lyricist Xiaohan and radio personality Dennis Chew. MediaCorp hosts Pornsak and Lee Teng are the emcee of the show. ==History== ''Campus SuperStar'' is a spin-off that was created based on another Singaporean reality television singing competition ''Project SuperStar'', which was in turn inspired by British show ''Pop Idol''. Using the idea from ''Pop Idol'' and ''Project SuperStar'', the competition aims to uncover singing talents from full-time students studying in local secondary schools, junior colleges and institutes of technical education. The show debuted in January 2006, about four months after the finale of ''Project SuperStar'' season one. It was a big success with the viewing public, especially among the youths and students in Singapore. Following the success of season one, the show returned about one year later after live final of season one in May 2007 for the second season. The show also returned about one and a half years later after the live final of season two in January 2008 for the third season. Both seasons achieved moderate success and reception from the viewing public. In 2009, after the live final was held for season three of ''Campus SuperStar'', it was reported by Singapore-based Chinese language newspaper ''Lianhe Zaobao'' that MediaCorp Channel U will cease broadcasting of reality television singing competitions, including ''Campus SuperStar'' and ''Project SuperStar'', which was slated for a third installment in 2010, but was axed last minute by MediaCorp. Though the report was made, ''Campus SuperStar'' returned to MediaCorp Channel U exactly after four years of hiatus in January 2013 for the fourth season. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Campus SuperStar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
