Over 4,000 aspirants auditioned for the competition when it was announced. Auditions took place in late 2007 and the final selection of the top 24 were revealed to the public for the first time on 16 February 2008. Their finalists were showcased in one episode on 17 February 2008.

On the live shows up until the grand finals, the voting percentages were modified, with both the judges' scores and public votes take up 50% of the scores each, instead of 70%-30% as opposed to the previous seasons.
