Stars Of The Future go to church

With reality shows catching on with Ghanaian television viewers, there is only one thing that can sustain such shows, and that is sponsorship.Somovision Ghana Limited, a leading dealer in household electrical appliances is helping in that direction by becoming a main sponsor of Stars of the Future, the popular reality show being aired on Ghana Television (GTV). The company says it is ready to dole out gifts worth million of cedis to the contestants.

After a night of old school performances, contestants of Stars of the Future now want to lift their hands and white handkerchiefs in praise of their Maker.

This Sunday, fans of the show would be treated to gospel music from the eight contestants but they are informed that a favorite contestant or potential star is likely to go home.

Last Friday, July 11, during the old school performance,

all nine contestants put up splendid performances which made the task of the three judges even more difficult.

One after the other, Chris Attoh, dressed like a member of the Black Panther Movement of America in the late 60s, with Afro hairstyle and bar trousers, called the contestants to show their fans how old they can be.

Ike brought everyone, except the judges, to their feet when he performed ‘cool and the gang’; then Daniel forced them back on their feet with ‘Give me hope’.

When Joe did his own rendition of the king of pop music Michael Jackson’s ‘Heal the world’, virtually the whole audience sang with him.

The tempo in the room kept adulating, and it was very clear in the last five, as after Joe’s performance came David with Jimmy Cliff’s ‘Reggae night’.

The first among the four ladies in the contest to mount the stage was Adwoa, who did ‘I will always love you’, a song by the goddess of hip hop, Whitney Houston, and at this point the judges who kept echoing each other’s comments, admitted “that was a difficult song”.

Anyone listening from outside the venue would have mistaken Adina for Tina Turner when she managed to do “Simply the Best”.

Electrifying the auditorium, Anita brought Jimmy Cliff back to the stage as she performed ‘Brown eyes’ and the audience cheered her on.

However, Tina Turner was still in the house as Deborah ended the show with ‘What’s love got to do with it’.

Participation of fans is very essential as they have to text the name of their favourite to any mobile communication network.
