Kuala Lumpur, Nov 5, 2009 – If you think singing solo on stage is demanding enough, then imagine how challenging it is to deliver a performance as a group!
Following the resounding success of its predecessor, 8TV today announced the launch of ULTIMATE POWER GROUP season 2, the station’s local Chinese singing reality competition that is in search of Malaysia’s reality Chinese singing group.
ULTIMATE POWER GROUP season 2 is a dynamic competition that will gather talented singing individuals who perform brilliantly alone but with the aim of making them go further as a group.
Ms Lam Swee Kim, 8TV’s General Manager said: “ULTIMATE POWER GROUP season 2 was inspired by the success we had with its first season. We know that there is a lot more talent in Malaysia that’s just waiting to be unearthed. This competition will allow us reach and reveal many more of these talents and realize even more dreams!”
“It is not easy to sing and perform in a group as there are many aspects that need to be considered such as group chemistry, vocal coordination, choreography and many more. ULTIMATE POWER GROUP season 2 is the platform for new talents to step up to the challenge and prove that they have what it takes to be a successful singing group.”
So how do people take part? Malaysians of both genders aged 18 to 28 years old are invited to audition to show off their vocal abilities. These aspirants will then go through another round of auditions and are then divided into 12 groups based on their vocal range and personalities. The group combination may vary: they could be an all girl group, an all boy group or even a mix of both genders. Each group will consist of between two to five members.
Once all 12 groups have been formed, they will compete against each other in a series of weekly live shows. The judges will select the top performing groups and the fates of the weakest groups will be determined by the live audience and viewers at home. The group with the lowest numbers of votes will be eliminated. For the Grand Finals, the fates of the finalists will be equally determined by both the judges and the public via SMS voting.
The Grand Finals will witness a showdown between the Top Three surviving groups, as they compete for the title of ULTIMATE POWER GROUP season 2 and a cash prize of RM100,000!
ULTIMATE POWER GROUP season 2 is partnered by Red Box and Green Box. Launching is also supported by Sungei Wang, Kuala Lumpur.
So, why wait? If you have the talent, then flaunt it!
