NOW that the Princess Star 2015 Karaoke Contest is moving into its final stage and the excitement is broiling amongst fans, a surreal volcano is exploding amongst the eight singers who made it to the finals, and they can hardly wait to take to the stage on Saturday, September 05, 2015 when the riveting show comes to a close inside ‘Club Next’ (Princess Hotel, Providence, East Bank Demerara).The final leg has been dubbed ‘Survival of the Fittest’, and one can only imagine the showcases that will burst asunder on the stage that night. So far, throughout the show, the competition has

been really between Georgetown’s Lashaun Charles and Barticians Dameon Apple and Silyne Griffith. But in a recent interview, Bartica songbird Silyne Griffith issued a warning that she would make a mess of Charles on the night of the finals. Charles continues to be cool and calm as usual, throughout the entire showcase.

Apple, on the other hand, has vowed to teach both Griffith and Charles a lesson worth learning at the finals, since he feels it is time these two singers move over to give him his rightful place in the competition.

Louis Ebenezer has come from the back of the lot to spiral to the number three spot at the semi-finals, and has declared he will have no mercy for anyone in the competition.

At the recent semi-finals, the talented Romichelle Brummelle disappointed the judges with a lacklustre performance of Whitney Houston’s ‘How Will I know’. At this leg, Ebenezer had received a standing ovation from the judges for his selection — ‘Thinking out Loud’.

The Laljie guy will surely have to up his game to rake in a good spot, and Daniel Dondrake will surely need to push his vocals to the limits to match the intensity coming from the other contestants.

At the semi-finals, Jamal Benjamin, Alwyn Mitchell and Jonathan Basteano were all eliminated for poor performance, but in a wildcard save yesterday, the judges have brought back Basteano into the competition. Let’s hope he makes ample use of this opportunity mercifully given to him.

For the finals, the judges have selected two songs each for the participants, one of which will be performed as a ‘warm-up entry’ to decide the top five to be selected from the eight singers. The top five selectees will then each be made to sing for their lives in the ‘Ultimate Showdown’, before the first, second, and third place finalists are decided for the night.

Make sure you are there inside Club Next when the ‘vocal thunderstorm’ engulfs the venue with vociferous intensity. Showtime is at 9:15 pm. See ya!
Trophies for the event will be provided by the Trophy Stall (Bourda, Georgetown)
