The grand finale was broadcast live on kykNET and kykNET&kie and the show started with the Top 4 acts entertaining viewers and the audience at The Roxy Revue Bar at Grandwest.

Cheswyn walks away with a year-long public relations contract, clothes and accessories worth R50 000, a car from Toyota worth R380 000, as well as R100 000 in cash.
He also gets a year contract from All Star Management and immediately goes on tour with Emo Adams, co-creator of the show.
A breathless and slightly overwhelmed Cheswyn explained that even if he didn’t walk away with the title, he would have pursued a career in music after completing an education degree.
He says: “I can’t wait to go on tour with Emo... this is a dream come true.”
When asked whether he had any other musical ambitions, the talented singer exclaimed that he’d love to share a stage with Amanda Black and Paxton Fielies one day.
Cheswyn is keen to record soul and R&B, but for now he is preparing to take to the stage with Emo and second runner-up Bernice West.
In a surprise move, Emo offered both of them the opportunity to work with him.
