Held on 24 October 2008 at City Harvest Church’s Jurong West auditorium, A Shot to Fame was an event created to provide a platform for aspiring talents to perform and unleash the superstar in them.
The audience was treated to a string of tantalizing performances consisting of vocals, bands and dance that night.
Over a span of three weeks, the contestants went through several training sessions to hone their skills and an audition for the finals. After the finalists were notified, they were preened and plumed to be in tip-top shape for the final showdown.
The event was graced by three special guests: Jiu Jian Kenn, Allan Moo and Bevan. Veterans in the local music and entertainment scene, they gave their expertise and comments as judges at this competition.
It was a close fight as all the finalists gave their best shot and delivered near-flawless performances. Throngs of cell group members and friends came to support their favourite finalists, bringing the atmosphere to fever pitch.
As the night drew to a close, the results were announced. Best dance group “Daniel Meet Locker AD Feat Spiderpig”, Best Group Vocal “Flowerhorn Angel” and Best Band “Focus” left with S$400 cash. The fans of Tan Kah Thai, a contestant in Best Vocalist, won the Best Fan Club Award and got themselves S$300 Ben & Jerry vouchers.
The event ended with all the finalists and contestants singing together on stage. The event had succeeded in bringing the contestants a step closer to their dreams, encouraging them to break out of their limitations and giving them a shot at Fame!
