Capitol Theatre
City Hall, Singapore
October 2015
The second season of The Final 1 premiered on MediaCorp Channel 5 on 5 July 2015. It is a Singaporean reality-singing competition programme created by the director of Hype Records Ken Lim. Taufik Batisah and Lim returned for their second season as judges, and were joined by new judge Jaclyn Victor who replaced Kit Chan.
Contrary to the previous season, the public would not be allowed to vote for their favourites and play a part in deciding the contestants to advance in the competition. The judges would instead be the ones making the decision to eliminate contestants from the competition to ensure those "getting through to the next round will be only purely on their vocals and talent". The public would only be allowed to cast their votes when the competition is left with the final two contestants to decide on the winner.
In the finals held at Capitol Theatre, the top 2 contestants - Charlene Su and Jermaine Leong were pitted against each other. Merlion Wayfarer was there to watch the live performance.
