Top 6 Finalists of Project Superstar Season 3. Two more would be eliminated from here and only four will make it to the Top 4 to perform next weekend.

Yesterday, two more Project Superstar Season 3 finalists were eliminated. Who did you think did not make it to the top four finalists to perform next week on April 19, 2008 and April 20, 2008? Were your predictions correct? Did Malaysia made the right choice yesterday? The results were finally revealed at 10pm.

Two more finalists were eliminated and they couldn't make it to the top 4 of Project Superstar this season. They were:





Ellen 徐佩霞 scored 29 points by the judges.

Adrian 陈凯旋 managed to score only 28 points by the judges. His position was actually at risk before the results was announced but the decision were still in the hands of the voters.


Adrian was voted off and he did not make it to the top 4


Adrian 陈凯旋 from the male finalists.

Although both Ellen and Adrian have to pack their bags home and leave Project Superstar Season 3 last night, they have already sang their hearts out and did their very best.

When the results for the females finalists was announced I was quite sure Nicole and Kay would be able to go through to the final top 4 . But that was not the end yet.

When it came to the announcement of males finalists results, I was quite anxious and my heart was beating faster than before. Both the hosts, Gary Yap and Cheryl Lee announced Eddie 赖勇霖 as the first finalist to be safe and will be in the top 4. I was wondering if my favourite would be eliminated although he scored the highest points given by the judges based on his performance.

Finally, I was so relieved when Hau 徐仕豪 was announced safe too and he is one of the top 4 finalists of this season Project Superstar. I hope he will be able to memorize all the lyrics well and tried his best to perform well next week on April 20, 2008. Not forgetting Eddie 赖勇霖 too. He has improved a lot these two weeks during his performance.


Eddie 赖勇霖 and Hau 徐仕豪


Nicole 赖淞凤 and Kay 郭晓薇

From the male finalists, whoever succeeds to be in the top 2 when the results is announced next week, I will be as happy as both the finalists are also one of my favourites. Same goes to the female finalists too. All the best to Eddie 赖勇霖 and Hau 徐仕豪 for the male finalists and also to Nicole 赖淞凤 Kay 郭晓薇 from the female finalists.

The list of the top 4 finalists are:-

From the female finalists are between:


1) Nicole 赖淞凤


2) Kay 郭晓薇

And from the male finalists are between:


3) Eddie 赖勇霖


4) Hau 徐仕豪

Don't forget to watch the top 4 finalists performing next week over 8TV - Project Superstar Season 3 on April 19 and 20, 2008 and results who will make it to the final Top 2 on April 20, 2008, at 10:00pm.
