Once the 10 votes are exhausted, voters have the option to earn votes by sharing the application with their friends, or by purchasing additional votes online through Facebook to continue voting for their favourite artistes.

She had a look on her face that threatened to turn water into ice, when she began her acceptance speech for winning a Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes award on Sunday.
Was Singapore actress Rui En upset about winning?
It turned out to be all a huge joke.
“That was my true ‘black face’.
“This is me smiling. I hope people won’t mix up the two anymore,” said Rui En, as her stern expression dissolved into a warm smile moments later.
The actress explained during the post-show party that she came up with that rather unusual acceptance speech on a lark.
“I am not somebody who jokes around a lot, so I thought it would be nice and refreshing to joke about myself,” said Rui En.
“It’s basically to tell people to cut me some slack.”
To understand the joke, you’d have to look back a few days to the Star Awards 2012 Show 1 last Sunday.
After the awards, some media outlets had claimed she had been unhappy about the skits performed by Dennis Chew, Quan Yi Feng and a few other stars, which poked fun at her.
But Rui En expressed that these media outlets had blown the whole issue out of proportion.
“Actually I was fine with it (the skits).
“They (the media outlets involved) just took a picture [of me] when I wasn’t smiling, used that and just put the headline that I wasn’t happy about the jokes,” explained Rui En, with a look of resignation on her face.
However, there was no possibility of history repeating itself during the Star Awards 2012 Show 2 post-show party – Rui En was all smiles throughout the event, and gamely posed for photos with the guests.
“I feel it (winning the award) is great! I am grateful to my fans,” said Rui En happily.
Unfortunately for the actress, she will have no time to celebrate her win.
Rui En revealed that she will be busy working on the massive Channel 8 Mandarin drama “Joys of Life” alongside Taiwan star Alien Huang for the next few weeks, though the good news is she will get a well-deserved two-week break after shooting wraps in mid-May.

Singapore actress Rui En and actor Elvin Ng won the Favourite Onscreen Couple award at the Star Awards 2012 Show 1 on Sunday, which recognizes the top talents both in front of, and behind the camera in local Mandarin television.
The pair, who played lovers in the Mandarin drama “Code of Honour”, attributed their win to their fan clubs, which had worked together to garner votes in order to make sure ‘Ruivin’ – a term their fans coined to describe their onscreen pairing – won the award.
“I never thought there’d be alliances in the entertainment industry,” Ng joked, backstage after the ceremony.
“I feel quite safe with the support of Elvin’s fans,” said Rui En with a smile, adding that she intends to give the trophy to their fans.
“I feel this belongs to them!”
Rui En and Ng also won the awards for Favourite Female Character (for Rui En’s portrayal of a spoilt rich girl in “A Tale Of Two Cities”) and Favourite Male Character (for Ng’s portrayal of a dashing police officer in “C.L.I.F”) respectively.

Cynthia Wang and Rui En showing off their polished Bollywood-inspired dance moves for a scene in Channel 8′s mid-year blockbuster “Joys Of Life”.

Under the shimmering lights of a getai stage, Taiwan actress Cynthia Wang and Singapore star Rui En showed off their polished Bollywood-inspired dance moves, during a recent filming session for a scene in Channel 8′s mid-year blockbuster “Joys Of Life”.
The pair moved like professionals, but Wang revealed that they actually had very little time to prepare for their scenes before they had to bust a move on set.
“We just practised the dance steps awhile ago and had to dance on stage immediately!
“It was very rushed but I think we had great chemistry,” said an enthusiastic Wang, who plays Han Rourou, the beauty of Huaxiang Street in the show.
Starring opposite Han Rourou in this duet is Han Yongyong (played by Rui En), the adopted daughter of the Han family, who cross-dressed as an Indian man for this getai act.
“My big sister (Rui En) cross-dressing as a man is what makes this song (“Butterflies’ love for flowers”) so cool,” Wang said with a laugh.
Wang and Rui En not only acted like sisters when the camera rolled, but also behaved like sisters off the camera.
They laughed at each others’ mistakes while practicing their dance moves, shared jokes among themselves and chatted while waiting to shoot their scenes.
“She (Rui En) is like my big sister,” confessed Wang.
“Although we are really acting as sisters [in "Joys Of Life"], I feel like we are really sisters because in most of scenes with Rui En, I’m often seen crying in the arms of my big sister,” explained Wang, going on to talk about the trials and tribulations her character Han Rourou faces and how her big sister (Han Yongyong) is always the one beside her.
“Most of my scenes are very pitiful but we (Rui En and Wang) have a lot of fun together,” said the actress.
Joys of Life 花样人间 debuts 26 June 2012 9pm on Channel 8.
