Shows the extent that institutons will go to ride on the popularity of anyone that can be associated with them...
Besides... so what if he graduated from NTU? he didn't learn how to sing in NTU...
I have no idea if the contestant sent this request to the school or it was goodwill from the part of the school... but yeah...
It's not really a singing competition, it's a competition to see how large your network is and how rich those people in the networks are to send in as many SMSes for you...
p.s. I don't have anything against any of the contestant so I've blocked out the name
