Ultimate Power Group Press Release From 8TV


Are You Ready for the Ultimate Singing Sensation?

8TV’s latest in-house singing reality competition is in search for aspiring singers…


What does it take to sing in a group? From glowing reviews of Project SuperStar, 8TV presents to you another spectacular local Chinese singing reality competition, the Ultimate Power Group!

The Ultimate Power Group is now in search for the ultimate singing sensation and is calling all aspiring singers to head on down to the audition sessions! This weekend and the last audition sessions will be held in Kuala Lumpur!

Ultimate Power Group is the first ever local Chinese singing reality competition that is in search of Malaysia’s first reality Chinese singing group. If you think singing alone on stage is tough, what is it like to be singing in a group?

The Ultimate Power Group is a competition that gathers talented singing individuals who perform brilliantly alone or even as a group.

Ms Lam Swee Kim, 8TV’s General Manager of Brand Management, Business Development, Marketing & Communication says, “We have had extremely good response and ratings from our hit singing reality show Project SuperStar. Realizing that there are more talents out there, we decided to come up with a whole new singing reality show and hence, the birth of the Ultimate Power Group,”

“The Ultimate Power Group is a platform for talented singers to step up to another challenge and stand a chance to be part of the first ever Chinese singing power group,” adds Kim.

Kim also states, “It is not easy to be able to sing and perform in a group as there are many other aspects that need to be looked at such as group chemistry and many more.”

So what are the qualities that we look for in this competition? Malaysians with excellent vocal talents, between aged 18-28 years old are urged to audition alone.

These talents will go through strict auditions and are then divided into 12 groups based on their vocal, personality and chemistry among the group members. The group combination will vary from either an all girl group to an all boy group and also a mix of both genders. The number of talents in each group is from 2 to 5 persons.

Once all 12 groups have been chosen, they will compete against each other in a series of weekly live shows. During the weekly shows the judges will select the top groups that have performed well and the fates of the weakest groups will be determined by the live audience and viewers at home. The group with the lowest vote will be eliminated. For the grand finals, the votes will be counted based on 50% judges and 50% SMS voting.

At the Grand Finals, the surviving Top 3 groups will then compete for the coveted title, the Ultimate Power Group and win the lucrative prize money of RM100, 000!

8TV popular host Gary Yap and Natalie Ng will be serving as the main link between the contestants, the show and the viewers at home.

The Ultimate Power Group welcomes its main sponsor, XOX Com Sdn Bhd, a new and upcoming mobile operator offering full fledged mobile services with unparalleled charging and payment flexibilities to consumers.

“There is much untapped and budding talents in the country, and XOX supports the Ultimate Power Group’s aim in discovering and nurturing these talents amongst the Chinese community,” said Mr. Ng Kok Heng, President of XOX Com Sdn Bhd.

“This is also synergistic with XOX’s marketing plan, to reach out to the Chinese community,”

“To cater to the niche Chinese market, our products and services are designed and formulated to provide Chinese centric contents and value added services for mobile and web,” added Ng.
