Watch Asia's Got Talent Premiere Episode Tonight (March 12) at 8:05pm

The stage is set and the thrills are about to begin as “Asia’s Got Talent” bows across the region tonight (March 12, 2015) at 8:05pm on AXN! Earlier this morning, kahitanoito was invited by AXN in Makati CBD (Ayala Triangle) to showcase a snippet of some talented Filipinos showing their skills via flash mob style. A lot of bloggers are very excited what will happen and we were surprised to see this performance:

Asia’s Got Talent” spans 10 weekly episodes (debut at 8:05 and subsequent episodes at 8:30pm every Thursday), including five audition episodes, three semi-finals, a finale episode and a results gala. In addition to enjoying the fantastic performances, audiences will get to know their favourite acts as “Asia Got Talent” tells the life stories behind some of the most colourful individuals and groups in the competition.

Asia’s Got Talent” is the 63rd adaptation of the Guinness World Record-breaking hit “Got Talent” format, which was created by Simon Cowell’s Syco Entertainment and is co-produced by FremantleMedia. The “Got Talent” format is officially the most successful reality TV format in history and currently airs in 186 countries.

In the Philippine version, there are only 3 judges and one needs to get 2 judges to nod. For this Asian version, each act competing will have to win over at least three “Yeses” from the esteemed celebrity judging panel comprising 16 time Grammy-winning Canadian musician David Foster, UK pop sensation and former Spice Girl Melanie C., Indonesian rock icon Anggun, and Taiwanese-American pop idol and actor Van Ness Wu. I know a lot of Filipinos knew these judges given their popularity with their group such as F4, Spice Girls. If you remember, David Foster is the musician that further elevated the fame of Charice Pempengco. Thus, this truly proves that the contestants will really undergo the scrutiny from the people who knew talent as it is.

For Asia, you need to watch out for the glittering “Golden Buzzer moments”, where each judge has one opportunity to send a brilliant act straight to the semi-finals at Marina Bay Sands. I think this is a new concept that we haven't seen here for the Philippine version which will definitely make the competition exciting!

The four judges must select the most incredible and amazing performances from thousands of hopefuls from 15 territories across Asia. Those who make it to the semi-finals will contend with an even tougher judge, the home audience who will decide the winner of “Asia’s Got Talent”. 

Prizes worth $100,000 USD are at stake, along with the opportunity to return and perform at the iconic Marina Bay Sands, Asia’s leading entertainment destination – where the semi-finals and finale are to be held.
