Reality shows and talent hunts have become regular fixtures
on television these days. Many of them have created music and movie stars that
we adore. Iyanya, Omawunmi, Jodie, Uti and many others have all taken part in
one talent show or the other. These shows offer them a good platform to launch
their careers.
There is a new competition around, and it is quite different
from the hoard. It is the first faith based reality talent show in the country.
Tagged Gospel Explosion, it is the first of it’s kind Choir Contest. Choirs
from all over the country are expected to battle it out to determine which is
the best choir in the land. According to organisers, the finals will take place
on Sunday 23rd Dec at the Civic centre, in Lagos. Already, the auditions are
taking place in Lagos. All church choirs have been asked to take the
opportunity.
The winner of the competition has will be taking home
N1million cash prize. They will also be signed on to a recording contract with
Wole Oni Music Production(W.O.M.P), the most prominent gospel label in the
country. There will be three judges who will be introduced as the show progresses.
While speaking with Afojeare Ikhialose-Igbauma popularly
known as DJ Gosporella, he explains that the show is aimed at recognising the
great talents in the church. “It is common knowledge that the church choir
plays a vital role in every local assembly. Churches across denominations
parade spectacular and gifted choir groups. In the competition, we will stand
one out. Gospel Explosion is out to
expose, celebrate and reward the best choirs. It is a motivational platform to
encourage choir members to aspire for excellence. Right now, we have a few
supporters. Tetrazini, the best healthy food chain is strongly behind us. We urge
other sponsors to take part,” Gosporella said.
Gosporella also explains that there will be a
series of semi finals before the finals and forms are still being sold at all
Tetrazini outlets in and around Lagos
