On June 9, 2012, Rocket McFly and the Free Radicals walked away with $500 in cash and the coveted title as the winners of the Big Stage Talent Challenge.
Amidst a panel of industry professional judges, which included J-Dee Simpson (Connected Entertainment), O'Neil Stevens (formerly of Mix 92.3), and a special appearance by Kenya Bell of Basketball Wives and her manager Will Howard, contestants battled it out before a crowd of onlookers who would ultimately decide their fate.
At the end of the first round, the judges selected 4 contenders (who were judged on costume, vocal ability, stage presence and crowd participation) to move on into the final round in an Apollo-styled setting in which the audience selected the winner.
Showmanship was the name of the game, as the audience rallied in a frenzied roar for the live band that pulled out all the stops to win the cash in this industry focused competition that was created to spotlight artists who are destined to for...well bigger and better things.
Congratulations to Rocket McFly and the Free Radicals!
Stay tuned for audition information about the next Big Stage Talent Challenge. If you plan to compete, come ready to bring your A-game. Because in the business of entertainment, talent is never enough.
