Following closely with only four marks difference was Jazper who won second place with his performance of ‘Can We Talk’ by Tevin Campbell. “Your performance is great. If you want a song, you can call me anytime,” said Amir Jahari, another TVSTARZ judge. Jazper is known as the ‘Second Place King’ as he has consecutively secured his place in the Top 3 each week and also his place in the hearts of the juries. Unfortunately, Eyqa, an original member of the Dream Team, came in last and was eliminated from TVSTARZ with her performance of Ella’s song, ‘Sepi Sekuntum Mawar Merah’. It was said that Eyqa was trying to ‘play safe’ and lost her place in the Dream Team. With the appearance of stronger challengers from across the world, TVSTARZ is getting more intense with every minute and every song.  Tune in at 9pm every Tuesday on TVS Channel 122 Astro and MYTV, airing simultaneously on TVS’ Facebook page.
