After failing to bring to Ghanaians what has been acceptable and regarded as Ghana’s answer to American Idol show with the 2010 World Cup in South Africa as an excuse, Charter House has duly launched the fifth edition of the Stars of the Future show.
They had the luxury of still going on with the show after the World Cup but thought it wise to call it off and do it this year so that, the attention will be geared towards developing the talents into future stars who will take over and own the music industry in Ghana.
Watching the final 12 talented contestants speak at the launch at GhOne Studios about why they had decided to be part of this Stars of the Future reality show instead of the any other reality show, they all seemed to acknowledge the fact that, this musical show will open the door, give them the exposure and help them in the realization of their dreams.
The 12 contestants were drawn from nationwide search last year after three rounds of intensive auditions. They were picked out from 30 contestants who had qualified for the semi finals. As they gather to do R. Kelly’s ‘World Greatest’, I knew talents had arrived.
The 12 finalists are; Abigail Bih, Asantewaah Essel, Daniella Dankwah-Coffie (Niiella), David De-Graft Crentsil, Elizabeth Joseph, Emmanuel Yawson, Grace Ocansey, Henry Nuamah, Kwame Wiredu, Rauhel Halidou Yacouba, Reynolds Kwame Addow and Wiyaala Noela.
Viewers of the show will have 13 weeks of thrills and excitement including 10 weeks of evictions. The judges for the show are radio presenter-Doreen Andoh, music producer Zapp Mallet and CEO of EKB records, Kiki Banson.
Over the years, Stars of the Future has become a platform for budding talents to harness their skills and also realize their dreams of becoming mainstream musicians.
The new host Sedem Ofori of Joy FM fits well in the shoes as a host. Adina, Irene Logan, Efya graced the beautiful but short launch ceremony.
