Digicel Rising Stars Revamped for 20175 min read

Digicel Rising Stars is back and producer, Sharon Schroeter, is denying rumours that the popular talent competition has fallen on hard times and has barely made it to its 14th season. Some persons stated that the 2017 edition of the competition almost never happened as the organisers had some problems securing adequate sponsorship.

However, Schroeter says that news of the show lacking sponsorship is false. Though theydon’t have any control over what people say about the show, they have never isued any statements saying anything like that. They are in their14th year, and the competition is still going strong.

Schroeter also explained that with the reputation and legacy that the show has built over the years, the public need not worry about the longevity of the show.

She said that organisers would do everything in their power to keep the competition running for as long as possible.

This year’s edition of Digicel Rising Stars sees the return of judges Conroy Wilson, Anthony Miller, and Alaine. Terri Karelle also returns as host and the audition phase of the competition will close out tomorrow in Kingston at the Ranny Williams Centre and will make way for the live shows, scheduled to begin on July 9.

Schroeter says that this year’s show will see a few changes, particularly to the set-up of the popular Chill Room and they intend to add a few new themes to the show that they believe will bring even more excitement.
