Dancehall Got Talent First Round of Auditions Kicks Off to Rave Success

NEW YORK - Sept. 8, 2014 - PRLog -- Reeling from the overwhelming success of the first taping of Dancehall Got Talent, the organizers are gearing up for the final auditions process of this unprecedented televised dancehall competition.

Hosted by media queen the Diva Nikki Z, the judges dancehall star Timberlee, reggae legend “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” Ed Robinson and fashion maven and entrepreneur Dougie Platinum were on hand to give their honest, constructive criticism and expertise to the budding artists.

Judge and fashion Maven Dougie Platinum stated "It was great to see the talent displayed at the NYC auditions. Quite a few Contestants came out on their "A"game with the hopes of securing a YES from the judges. The diversity in performances only has me on the edge of my seat waiting on what to expect next in the later auditions and rounds."

"I was impressed to see the passion the contestants had for their journey. Many of the contestants displayed a passion and love for dancehall that at times it's like you just didn't want to say "NO". They were prepared for the most part, and I was quite impressed that many contestants came out with originality in their song choice, instead of singing already released songs."
Executive producer LA Wright echoed the sentiments "A lot of great talent was in attendance, the female talent was a lot more heavy than expected, it was a pleasant surprise. We can't reveal too much but I'd like to tell everyone to make sure to tune in when the show airs. It is a MUST see!"

Each live show broadcast of Dancehall Got Talent will welcome various dancehall, reggae and hip hop celebrities. To the delight of audience and hopeful artists, the first audition welcomed dancehall star Spice and Agent Sasco aka Assassin.
