The judges are looking for the WOW factor. Performances that depicts a new method to communicate and enact various emotions. As a performing artist, candidates must have great stage presence and confidence, dominating the space around them. “The ‘Wow’ factor” is really all that matters in a talent competition. It is an opportunity to speak a different language without the need for words or distracting elements or props.

The whole point of talent is to entertain.  Tapping into your creative/artistic life brings balance to your life.

Not the most skilled candidate wins the competitions. However, it is usually the most consistent and with the most entertaining/technical skill value.

To win the talent competition, you will be required to reveal, unleash and embrace your talent, perfect and be consistent with it. Even if you don’t win the crown, know you fed your soul and shared your gift with the world.
