Gang Starz Reality Show in the offing



‘Gang Starz’ a proposed Reality Show, is soon coming to hit television screens in the country with the aim of entertaining Ghanaians.


‘Gang Starz’, which simply means group stars, is going to be organized by TV3 which presents talented young ladies and gentlemen between the ages of 18-25 years to help them unearth, explore and improve upon their hidden talents to become a musician group starz in the near future.


The programme would be a search for the next super star group, as it would be exploring talents in the entertainment field.


Participants are expected to be Africans who must be in a group with a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 people; must be energetic with attitude for stage craft and vocal capability.


The auditioning for the Show will kick off on 14 July, 2008. Unlike Mentor and the other Reality shows that had staged auditioning across various regions, this particular auditioning would be centered in Accra. Contestants who would be able to pass through the auditioning criteria would then compete for the ultimate prize. They would be 12 in number.


To show that they really want to become  super star groups, they will be made to go through a series of performances for 13 weeks with live band and theme songs like Reggae, Highlife, Hiplife, R&B, Gospel, Oldies and many others, which have been already recorded. This would motivate them to improve on their performances.


Contestants would also have the opportunity to choose their own songs as well as a compulsory one in order to make it a little flexible for them.


The Show would also host two permanent judges and a guest judge who would comment on all the performances. These judges would look out for the best vocal dynamics, stage attitude, and appearance and presentation style. However, the eviction segment would commence immediately on the third week of the competition.


This time round, the eviction would be done in a different style - with lots of lovely prizes and a huge sum of money.
