MTV Supahstar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MTV Supahstar: The Supahsearch is a talent competition in the Philippines held in 2004. It was shown in the channel with the same name, MTV.

For months, MTV Philippines, the country's primary music channel, has been on the hunt for the freshest, hottest, and sexiest talents for the ultimate talent search and reality show. After successful auditions in Cebu, Davao, Baguio, and Manila, celebrity casting directors Tim Yap, Radha, and Andrew E. finally narrowed down the finalists to 15 talented supahstars-in-the-making and divided them into different roles. Each casting director chose 5 finalists to take under their wing, but each one was cast as either a Soul Sistah, Rapstah, Diva, Pop Bro, or an "It" Pick.

After three months of competition, five winners were selected by the jurors they are: Sitti Navarro for the Diva group, Ken Dingle for the Pop Bro division, Buboy Kimpo being the ultimate Rapstah, Rein Layug for the Soul Sistah division, and Krizia Daya as the "It" Pick. Though chosen as winners of the show, the five performers were all guaranteed a record deal, but Warner Philippines honored only one of the contracts, that of Sitti Navarro, Bossa nova artist.
