Many firsts at Tastee Kingston audition

Wednesday, September 01, 2010



With the auditions now over, it's on to the next phase of the 2010 Tastee Talent Trail which begins with the airing of the auditions on TVJ on October 10. The Grand Finals will be on Thursday December 16.

There were a number of firsts at the final audition which was held at the Tastee's Cross Roads headquarters parking lot last Saturday.

Kingston known as the 'Deejay town', didn't live up to its name this time around, as not one single Deejay made it through to the next round.

Surprisingly, however, there was a plethora of senior citizens who tried their hands at a chance to win $1 million in cash. Four persons in their 60s and two in the late seventies took a shot but sadly all fell by the wayside.

At the end of a long day judges Audrey Reid, Oral Tracy and Amelia 'Milk' Sewell had seen 194 entrants while 192 were turned away at the pre-judge tent.

In true Tastee style a variety of acts paraded their talent before the celebrity panel of judges, at the end of which, a dance group, a comedy skit and three singers got Lifeline Cards.

Confusion was the order of the day when one particular young man got his signals mixed up as there he was on camera with the competitor's logo carved in his hair. A young miss took the talent aspect literally when, decked in a 'b-rider' she proceeded to put the average Go Go dancer to shame . This had Milk and Audrey rolling under the judge's table.

Audrey Reid ordered entrant number 20 to drop and do some pushups, so lazy was he in his stint on stage.

Throughout one of the longest auditions, Lifeline cards were given to singers; Jermaine Bryan, the trio R3, Clover Lewis, dancers; Supreme Blazers and the comedy group COLAS.
