The third season of popular local reality singing competition, Big Stage, got off to a controversial start when a contestant scored only two out of 100 marks.

Judge Ajai, a renowned singer-turned-producer, gave the measly two points – the lowest score yet given by a judge in the history of the show – to contestant Hafiz Zainal after his rendition of Frank Sinatra's Fly Me To The Moon during the show's first episode on Aug 16.
