Prior to the show, Serene Lim and Crystal Fung were always the hot picks for the winner of the pageant.
In fact, Serene Lim has been voted
by the glamorous panel of judges as top 3 in almost every segments throughout
the night.
Tides changed after the
talent show segment as Stitch mesmerized
the judges and audiences via her combo of roller-skating and ribbon dance
performance. It was simply amazing and elegant at the same time!
Serene Lim on the other hand performed pop-locking contemporary dance while Crystal Fung performed on-stage magic. The other two top 5
finalists Alice Zhang and Emily Yu performed Drum Play and Salsa Dance respectively.
Results:
Champion: Stitch Yu
1st Runner-up: Serene Lim
2nd Runner-up: Crystla Fung
Miss Friendship 2017: Addy Lee
Overall, I think it was
a very fair outcome as Stitch did
indeed perform very well for the catwalk and talent segments. Personally, I
rooted for Serene Lim from the beginning
until the end. So I am actually quite happy too that she came as first-runner up for such a grand
pageant.
