第7届《超级星光大道》狮城海选，20岁印族美眉陈美娇一鸣惊人！

这次《超级星光大道》新加坡海选，成功入选的参赛者包括来自上海的施旭婧（左一）、怡保的陈美娇（左四）、前《校园SuperStar》参赛者黄业伦（右一）和一开唱就直接普级的李佳薇

从500名参赛者中，选出11人出征台北，其中有9位是女生，入选名单可谓“阴盛阳衰”。这次活动吸引了不少《绝对Superstar》、《校园Superstar》的“校友”前去参加，但最后入选的11人当中，大部分却是陌生脸孔。其中，24岁的施旭婧来自上海，目前在本地酒吧驻唱；郑盈盈（24岁）、蔡忆雯（18岁）、陈美娇（20岁），以及现场唯一直接取得赴台参赛资格的李佳薇（22岁）均来自马来西亚，各个都是实力不容忽视的“过江龙”！

20岁的陈美娇现场表现一鸣惊人外，她也是现场唯一印族参赛者。她事后告诉记者，由于亲身父母没能力供养她，她8个月大时，被华人家庭领养，父母务农。

她精通华语、闽南话，年前还曾远赴中国，参加闽南语歌唱比赛，昨天更敢敢挑战阿妹的歌，实力也备受评审肯定。她说：“我不会听也不会说淡米尔语！”

她拜师学唱歌有4、5年了，曾有多次歌唱比赛的经验，目前在庙会当驻唱歌手。这次来狮城参赛，她和母亲前天从怡保来新，今天启程回怡保，来回车程廿小时，她却不喊累，满心期待的台湾比赛，盼能一圆当歌手的梦。

继首届《校园Superstar》冠军黄智阳上次本地《星光》甄选中脱颖而出，获得到台北踢馆资格后，同一届的《校园》男亚军黄业伦昨也在海选活动中献声。

刚服完兵役的他本着陪哥哥黄业翔（《非常Superband》Soul一员）参加比赛，怎料最终取得到台参赛的，却是他。

笑问他兄弟俩会否因此反目，20岁的黄业伦说：“不会啦！我也想看看自己能唱到哪里。”

Raw potention ; that was the criterion spelled out by singer-producer Kay Huang and stylist Roger Cheng for its seventh season. The two judges were in town on Sunday to select participants to go to Taipei for the competition.

Huang said: "The participants' standards are very high and they are more polished. They know too much. But we want different kinds of people for different seasons. This time, we want someone unique and who has his own style."

Cheng added: "It isn't just about the vocals. It's more about the potential and what future I can see in the contestant."

Together with show producer Wang Ya-chu, the two saw 500 hopefuls at the Singapore audition, which was held at City Square Mall and co-organised by StarHub and Radio 100.3. Only 11 passed the audition, nine of them females.

Explaining that they were not looking specifically for women, Huang added: "Some of the male contestants were only 13 or 14 years old. We need to consider the fact that their voices are changing."

In short, Cheng said that they wanted "a very special voice" which could "grab our attention in 30 seconds".

One of the lucky 11 is Miss Jess Lee (李佳薇), 22, a graduate who came all the way from Negeri Sembilan. She was selected on the spot by the judges, who were impressed by her preparation and crystal-clear vocals.

Said Huang: "When we asked if she could sing us more songs, she immediately fulfilled our request. You can see how prepared a contestant is just from a 30-second performance.

"You can hear if she has grasped the vocal techniques of a particular singer and blended it with her own style."

Cheng chipped in: "If someone says that you are like a particular singer, don't be flattered. It only means that you aren't better than the original."

The 11 chosen ones are now due for the Taiwan recording of the first round of competition next month. If they decide to take up the challenge, they have to bear the related costs for their participation.

This is not the first time that the One Million Star audition has been open to Singaporeans.

In Season 3, Singaporean Huang Jinglun was selected to advance to Taiwan. He came in sixth.
