CASS Factor 2011

Once again, CASS' annual talent competition is here again! Open to all CASS students from all the three courses, seven finalists gave it their best shot last Friday night at The Hall. They sang their hearts out on stage for the coveted title of the Winner of CASS Factor 2011.

CASS Club, the organisers of the event, made magic with the function room by transforming it into a cozy and romantic venue with dimmed lights and lit candles scattered around the carpeted floor. Everyone were sitted on the floor, huddled around candles and eagerly waiting for the show to start. It was definitely a great event for all DTVM, DMC and DADP students to bond with one another.

The show kicked off with Shalyn and Kelvin from the SP Student Comperes introducing the guests performers, Dikir Barat CCA from SP Malay Language Society, giving an amazing performance. They sang in harmony and managed to get everyone to clap and sing along with them! It was definitely an enjoyable performance by the SP Malay Language Society.

After the opening act, CASS Factor officially began with Shah Malinda, a Year 3 DMC student, singing "You and I" by Lady Gaga. He surprised everyone when he jumped off the stage. It was definitely an entertaining show by Shah.

Next up was Sabriena and Micheal singing Rolling in The Deep by Adele. Sabriena had a great voice and managed to hit all those high notes with ease. With a shining personality, it was no wonder she got endless cheers from the crowd.

Sahana had a rocky start with Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri but she managed to save her performance with her great vocals and showmanship.

Then we had Adrian Samurai Chan, who gave a stunning performance with Chris Cornell's soulful rendition of Billie Jean. It was at the least a very unique performance which deserved the cheers from the audience.

Izzyan did a great mashup of a few songs and she came prepared with many supporters cheering her name and holding up posters for her.

Jared, a Year 3 DTVM student, who is currently on a 6-month internship came back to SP just for CASS Factor. He had the audience go aww when he dedicated the song I'll Follow You Into The Dark to the same girl he sang to at CASS Idol last year. So much love for CASS!

Vanessa and Alvin did a mashup of songs as well and Vanessa wowed the audience with her strong vocals and consistency. With that, all seven contestants wrapped up their performances for CASS Factor 2011. The votes were in the hands of the judges and the guests.

In the midst of the wait for the votes to be counted, guest performers from SP Dancesport and No Luck Required entertained everyone with sleek moves and unique songs. After what seemed like an eternity, the results were out! Adrian, Sabriena & Michael and Vanessa & Alvin emerged as the top three out of the seven and eventually Vanessa & Alvin were crowned as the winners of CASS Factor 2011. Congratulations!

Look at what winners, Vanessa & Alvin, have to say here:


CASS Factor 2011 was a great event for CASS where many of our talents got a chance to shine. It was a definitely a night to remember for all.
