A large number of young aspiring artistes showcased their talents at the first round of Telcell’s Breakthrough Auditions held last Saturday. The judges and organizers were impressed with the level and variety of talents and will soon be announcing the contestants who will breakthrough to the finals.
The various acts included comedy, vocals, rap, dance and performance of musical instruments.
Berteau “Mr. Rude” Fleming, Managing Director of Xtratight Entertainment Productions stated that there was an equally impressive number of performers who turned out on Saturday to audition for a chance to move on to the finals and win some super prizes in addition to a recording/video production contract.
“We paid keen attention to the performances and honestly, there were some jaw-dropping moments when it came to the vocals and the dance routines,” said Fleming.
He joined TelEm Group’s Breakthrough show coordinator, Angel Richardson in thanking the judges for their time and expertise and also the performers for showing up on time and giving their best.
Richardson said, “People will be really impressed with the collection of talent we have moving on to the finals, and we are looking forward to the second audition. Finalists will be announced on Saturday August 23rd at 12:00 at the Philipsburg Community and Cultural Center. We look forward to another exciting audition this coming Saturday.”
