One week after the semifinals cut the number of contestants in half to only six lucky survivors, Rock the Web held the finals of their inaugural season singing competition. Â Following different rules than the semifinals, this time online votes from friends and supporters couldn’t help the contestants. Â It was all up to the judges this time, and the first three rounds would see one contestant eliminated each round, leaving three contestants to compete in a final round. Â There were three male and three female contestants, and a bit to my surprise it was a guy who got cut from each preliminary round until the three girls were left in the final round.
In the end, Uta took home the crown, her unique sound and appearance helping her standout from the more mainstream approach of the other contestants. Â In fact, almost all of Uta’s songs were original songs she had written, and were almost all sung in Chinese, compared to the other contestants who were mostly singing other people’s songs, at least half of them English-language songs. Â Everyone in the competition was incredibly talented and had amazing voices, but just like with most things in a country where one in a million means there are still 1,400 more of you out there, it was the person who really stood out the most who won.
Now that season one if finished, I can’t wait for season two to begin!!!
