Sharon's search for the next female pop superstar came to an end, this is after they declared Angeline Quinto as the first ever Star Power grand champion. Angeline coined as the "Pop Belter of Manila" garnered a total text votes of 90.88%.The grand final singing showdown of 5 official contenders was held on February 21, 2011 at the Ynares Center in Antipolo. The showdown was divided into 3 rounds wherein one contender eliminated per round. During the first round, Akiko was eliminated. On the second round, Kla was out while on the third and final round, Monica was eliminated.
The battle between Kriselle and Angeline is very tight even from the start. It can be seen on television that Kriselle was an early favorite of all resident judges but Angeline still took home the fame.
Angeline Quinto sang her winning piece "Patuloy na Pangarap". As Star Power grand champion privileges, Angeline took home 1 million pesos, a car, an entertainment showcase from Sony, jewelries and a recording contract from Star Records.
Angeline Quinto is the young Regine Velasquez, as other critics said, because of her voice and choice of songs. When she sang her version of "what kind of fool I am" of Regine, the audience went wild.
