The fifth season of Akademi Fantasia premiered on 17 March 2007 and ran until 19 May 2007. The season was joined by new judges, Fauziah Latiff, Hattan and Fauziah Ahmad Daud, who replaced Adlin Aman Ramlie, while Aznil Nawawi returned as host for his fifth season. On 19 May 2007, Norsyarmilla Jirin from Penang was crowned the winner of the fifth season of Akademi Fantasia, making her the first female winner, defeating runner-up Ebi Kornelis @ Firdaus Yaimal. This season also featured Aizat Amdan, who would subsequently become the overall winner of 2009 and 2012 Anugerah Juara Lagu. For this season, Akademi Fantasia was held from March to May, unlike the previous four seasons which were held between May and August because the producer did not want the show to clash with Malaysia's 50th Anniversary of Independence Day. Throughout this season, as much as 6.6 million votes were cast, with 1.9 million votes received in the finale.
