Lisa Punch vows to come in like a ‘wrecking ball’

-in next leg of ABC’s ‘Rising Star’

Our very talented Lisa Punch almost lost it on the duet round of ABC’s ‘Rising Star Reality Show’ last Sunday but came back with a wallop after the West Coast (USA) voted her ‘in’ allowing her to secure a 67% that forwarded her to the upcoming quarter-final round of the competition.In an exclusive internet interview the song diva told Bombshell that her last performance was not the best she has to offer, and declared that she will invade the next leg of the competition ‘like a wrecking ball’ with every intent of demolishing her competition.
“I admit my last performance was certainly not the best of me and I am glad that the West Coast has voted me through to the next round. But guess what… For the quarterfinal rounds, I will be storming that stage like a wrecking ball from Guyana”
Only one judge voted in favour of Punch on Sunday last but her ever increasing fan base ensured she escalated to 66% percent, needing only 4% more to break that wall. Thanks again to the West Coast for saving our home grown Lisa.

Judge Praisley later who strangely did not vote ‘no’ or ‘yes’ for Punch later via the internet posted a comment which dictated that after watching the show he realised that Punch’s performance was actually stronger that it appeared to be, even though he was sitting just inches from where the singer was standing. This certainly leaves us to question his abilities as a judge at such a forum….

MusicTimes.com posted a review of the battle between Punch and her opponent Alice Lee and it read as follows:
MusicTimes.com REVIEW of the Lisa Punch/Alice Lee Battle:
“The first duel performance of the night went to Broadway singer Alice J. Lee versus soulful chanteuse Lisa Punch.
Lee began the night with a take on the Little Mix anthem “Wings.” Though this girl has the backing of a Broadway education, she really, truly lacks the power of the stage, taking on the song in a quiet manner instead of commanding it with the sass and power it deserves. That’s not to say her vocals were off – they weren’t – they were just a little bit understated. Despite a lack of panache, all three judges voted “yes” and Lee achieved 69 percent of the vote.
Which was more than Punch, who performed a take on P!nk’s empowerment anthem “Perfect.” Punch had to perform with the wall up, but she was full of pure soul and love, as she absolutely slayed “Perfect.”
Now, I’m not always the type to think reality shows are fixed, but something smelled a little off here. Lee was able to move on with 69 percent of the vote, with the backing of all three celebrity judges, but Punch barely missed that mark, only getting a Yes vote from Kesha, despite her all-around superior singing skills. Maybe producers really like Lee or her Broadway background, but there’s no real reason she should have beaten Punch on singing power alone.”
Guyanese Lisa Punch recently created history when she recently nailed a spot amongst the ABC’s Reality Show in the USA for promising artistes from a lineup of over 40,000 auditions across the US. Lisa was selected with some twenty nine other contestants after and has successfully made it into the third round of the competition. Punch not so long ago migrated to the foreign shores in search of a better life and with aims of further developing her musical career, and we must agree that she is definitely headed places.

Guyanese cheated out of voting
Speaking to scores of local disgruntled Lisa Punch fans, Bombshell was informed that while many attempted to download the App for voting while she was performing never managed to do so since it does ages for the app to be downloaded, and by the time some fans succeeded Punch had already left the stage and vote for her was already closed. How very shameful!!! Who’s to be blamed? Certainly not me…

ABC’s innovative new series “Rising Star,” which opens the gate to a new era in reality competition, kicks off its nationwide search for talent on Saturday March 29. The U.S. series is helmed by executive producers Ken Warwick (“American Idol”) and Nicolle Yaron (“The Voice”).
“Rising Star” completely reinvents the traditional singing competition as–for the first time ever–the audience has the final say in real time. The show follows a group of aspiring singers as they perform live. During the performances, viewers vote in real time via an App to determine if the singer will advance in the competition. If the voting reaches a certain threshold, the performer moves on. In addition, the performer can see how the voting is going throughout the performance, so the feedback is immediate and dramatic.
