Anthony Neely

Among his many performances during the singing competition, one stood out: an acoustic version of Damien Rice’s "The Blower's Daughter". Host Matilda Tao then announced to the judges that if the given five points were not enough, they could raise up one hand to represent one point or stand up to represent ten points. Judge Kay Huang stood up, while judges Phil Chang and Roger raised both hands and one hand respectively, giving Neely a total of 33 marks out of the original 25 points any contestant can get.

In September 2014, Neely revealed that he had married in 2010 and that his wife, Vivi Lee, had given birth to a daughter the year after. The news was revealed in a YouTube video titled "Anthony Neely's True Confession", which was uploaded to his personal YouTube profile on his daughter's third birthday. He officially divorced from his wife in March 2018, over a year after he admitted to infidelity.
