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.〔http://news.asiaone.com/News/Latest%2BNews/Showbiz/Story/A1Story20130404-413476.html〕 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.〔〔http://www.meradio.sg/thefinalone/about〕 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.
