From making a big impression on Broadway musicals to winning international music competitions, Filipinos have consistently shown that they are world-class when it comes to musical talent. TV5's newest reality talent search program PoPinoy is set to show the world that the next global pop sensation may come from our own local shores through combining cutting-edge production, a rigid selection and training process, and A-list hosts and judges.
More than just any average talent search, the new show holds the distinction of being the ultimate reality show chronicling the journey of these aspiring new talents from their humble beginnings, their exact training and right to when they take center stage in the grand finale concert. PoPinoy's thrust is to discover and mold the ultimate pop supergroup that will not only be global stage darlings, but ambassadors of Filipino culture as well. Recognizing that Filipinos are naturally gifted with their own unique way of singing and dancing, the show aims to bring these to the fore in each of the aspirants, as they forge their way towards the top of the competition.
Tasked with the all-important job of honing aspirants into world-class performers is a rock-solid list of mentors and guest judges from a veritable who's who in Philippine entertainment dubbed as PoPinoy's headhunters which comprises of veteran Filipino actress and Crown Artist Management founder and president/CEO Maja Salvador, King of R&B Jay-R, viral social media sensation DJ Loonyo and theater sweetheart Kayla Rivera. While audiences will be glued to the action onstage, these headhunters will be watching the aspirants' every move, analyzing each step and evaluating every note with the goal of pointing them in the right direction towards becoming the ultimate Pinoy pop sensation.
To help mount the competition, TV5 is partnering with Smart Communications' TNT which has been known for championing Filipino talent and pride. Watch how PoPinoy finds, develops, and trains the next ultimate P-Pop sensation. Meet the boy bands and girl groups who will journey together in this exciting but tough competition that aims to take the Filipino entertainment scene by storm. Watch them undergo rigorous training in singing, dancing, personality development and many other aspects. And as if pressure from training is not enough, failure to live up to expectations can lead to elimination. Let TV5's PoPinoy remind ourselves that every Filipino talent is unparalleled and is always ready to shine.
