 While most other contestants chose to sing Chinese songs, Rita Carpio did not feel confident performing in Chinese (having been brought up in an English-speaking household) and performed The Nolans' "Sexy Music".She emerged as the contest's first runner-up, losing only to Anita Mui, future Cantopop diva.Rita Carpio got a contract with Capital Artists from the contest, but the company focused their resources on Anita Mui, and Rita Carpio found her English singing to be incompatible with the company's focus on the Cantopop market.
