ALL Guyana was reeling with excitement when the first ever TV reality show, ‘In Search of a Star’ was staged here in the Russian Embassy compound.This event had allowed much exposure for many talented Guyanese singers who were later able to develop and represent Guyana at international forums. For example, the winner of that show, ‘Lisa Punch’ a few years later migrated to the USA and was able to perform at the Apollo Theatre, then onto to new heights as she soon after participated at the ABC ‘Rising Stars’ event which saw her making it to the semi-finals.
And if you possess vocal talent and are seeking the same exposure and fame, here is your chance to do so…
The Princess Hotel (Guyana) will be hosting a similar initiative in June 2015 that will allow major exposure and development opportunities for amateur Guyanese singers.
The Reality Show will be dubbed ‘Princess Star’ and will run over a three-month period that will feature several knockout segments before the ‘Princess Star’ is crowned.
Promoters have already declared that the panel of judges will include music elites with a vast reservoir of experience and musical background. Folks are assured that the judges will not be hand-picked through favoritism or family ties as was done with a few similar events hosted here.
The winner of this event is guaranteed major bragging rights, cash, trophies and a recording deal like none before as they journey to international stardom.
Auditions for this event will be staged inside the ‘Club Next’ inside the Princess Hotel next month nd those wishing to be spectators at this forum are required to pay an entrance fee of $500.
All competitors will be fully attired in caps and jerseys bearing the Princess Hotel label and logos. Auditions are also expected to be staged outside the city of Georgetown to ensure singers from the rural communities are given an opportunity to compete.
Interested persons are urged to call phone number 699-6156 to be a part of this prestigious initiative.
