'Asia's Got Talent': A show of diversity

Philstar.com

MANILA, Philippines — There is no boredom so far in recent episodes of "Asia's Got Talent" with the variety of acts and personalities the show offered and promises to continue.

The four judges – Anggun, David Foster, Melanie C., and Van Ness Wu – came from different genres of music and have their own achievements to boast.

David Foster for instance is a world-class, multi-awarded singer-songwriter. Also a producer, he has the eye for talents who would sell to the public.

There's Melanie C., a pop singer who was once part of the all-girl group Spice Girls, and also starred in the musical “Blood Brothers.” This background helps her relate to the groups and singers auditioning for the show.

Van Ness Wu, a Taiwanese-American pop icon, who also has a background in acting after he starred in some Hollywood projects and the Taiwanese series "Meteor Garden." His experience in working at two different entertainment worlds gives him a broader view of what could "click" internationally.

Anggun meanwhile is a rock star who started young in the music industry. This helps her see which talent has the potential to be molded and honed to appeal to the public.

They may vary in background and specialty, but they have one goal: to look for the one deserving to be hailed the very first "Asia's Got Talent" winner.

Besides the diversity of judges, two Filipino hosts, Marc Nelson and Rovilson Fernandez, aside from their good looks entertain viewers with their quirky antics backstage.
