The second elimination round required the remaining 4 finalists to perform a song picked by the judges for them. Unexpectedly, K-La Rivera was the one eliminated on this round with a final score of 83.45.

The final round had Monica Sacay of Leyte, Angeline Quinto of Manila and Krissel Valdez of Davao singing an original composition from Star Records.

Angeline (photo), a Regine Velasquez look-alike, was the only one who sang a Tagalog song for her final piece. It was entitled "Patuloy Ang Pangarap" originally composed by JohnJonathan Manalo and it sounded so great, a song fit for a winner.

She indeed won! Angeline (who topped Mykiru's Poll) was announced as the Star Power grand winner or Sharon's first Female Pop Superstar with a final score of 90.88.

Krisell came in 2nd with the score of 88.70 while Monica was 3rd with a score of 85.20.
