Be the Next Superstar gets off to hot start!

Who’s gonna Be the Next Superstar? It’s too early to tell, but we can say that the talent in the first season of the show is superb. The show opened on Tuesday night with thirteen participants in Group A. The performances ranged from drama to singing to dance and drumming and the viewing audience was able to rate the performances on facebook during the live show. There are thirteen weeks ahead and from the looks of it, it’s going to be a knockout season. Freelance reporter, Duane Moody reports.

The debut of Channel 5’s newest and biggest entertainment show, “Be the Next Superstar” was stated at the Bliss on Tuesday night! With a new and inspiring set and extraordinary talents taking the stage, the show was off to a great start, showcasing a new format.  The show started with thirteen competitors in Group A.

Talents that still have persons commenting on the social website that is a new feature of the show.

Some performances had the audience falling out of their seats with  laughter.

… And unforgettable performances by participants overcome with stage fright.

The judges have weighed in and now it is up to you to text for your favorite to STAR (7-8-2-7) using your SMART phones. Producer, Sharmane Garcia, spoke of the knock out round and how participants will be eliminated.

“Belizeans like competition; Belizeans like laugh, they like competition. One of the things we are adding in is the knock out round. With the knock out round we are going to take the bottom three—the three performers with the lowest score at the end of the week—will have to fight to see who is eliminated or who is saved. So they have one minute to woo the judges on that night and that’s called the knock out round—you either stay or you leave. And that’s one of the changes and I think that will add a lot to the show.”

Next week Group takes centre stage; there will be thirteen weeks of grueling competition where the performers will have to put their best feet forward to win the judges  and your votes and sing, dance, act, or perform their way to the top to become Belize’s and Channel 5’s Next Superstar!
