Exciting Showdown Between Shawn & Benjamin in CSS 2 Grand Final !

24 August 2007


Tomorrow is going to be one big day for one of these four Campus Superstar 2 Finalists , Keely , Zheng Ning , Shawn and Benjamin as one of them will be the lucky one to be crowned CSS 2 overall Champions as the competition will officially draw to a close after nearly two months of intense competition and rounds of elimination following the Grand Final tomorrow night ( 7.30pm LIVE on Channel U ) .



Youngest contestant of this year's competition , at only 13 years of age , Shawn came into this competition as hot favourites to win the title and was all along expected to made it all the way to the Grand Final . Tomorrow , he will come up against Benjamin to fight for the one Final spot to be the boy's group overall Champion and most importantly , a shot at the Grand Final Showdown with the Female winner .



Shawn's battle with Benjamin will be very eagerly anticipated , as it is widely expected to be a very close and tight affair between two real talented singers . Both are so evenly matched in terms of their singing ablity that it's so hard to choose between the two . Shawn despite his young age , can sing very maturely like an adult , while Benjamin singing is clear that sometimes u don't even need lyrics to know what he is singing and his timing ( as in he knows when to pause , hold & when to continue ) is very accurate . His singing is very pleasant to listen to too.



As I followed these two contestants performance in this competition , I feel that if anyone were to be able to cause any upset and defeat Shawn , it will be Benjamin cos his performance has been very consistant of all the boys besides Shawn himself . So , who will come up tops to book a place in the Grand Final ? Will it be Shawn or Benjamin ?


Getting excited already ? Can't wait to see them battle it out tomorrow ? Check this out ....

* Did U Know ...

that actually before this pair meet in the Grand Final proper tomorrow night , they actually did a duet together without music ? Yes , concidentally , both Benjamin and Shawn sang a duet together without the accompany of any background music at all ... ! Now let's see & hear who's better ? Maybe after hearing , u will get a rough idea and help u make your choice easier ...

Now if u think that's exciting and their performance is interesting ... Wait till u see the 'soon to be crowned ' CSS 2 Champions match up with last year Campus Superstar overall winner Huang Zhiyang ! That should be even more exciting and interesting ! Shawn did a duet with Zhiyang too ! Check this out !

Unfortunately , although Huang Zhiyang will appear in tomorrow Grand Final , u definitely won't be seeing him sing with Shawn even if Shawn really made it to the Grand Final Round ! Cos the competition format is such that Zhiyang will be singing with tomorrow's girls group winner , that means either Keely or Zheng Ning ! So, sorry folks ... !
