Twenty-Four -year old Joseph Buabeng emerged the winner of Star Beer’s Grab the Mic competition when the reality singing competition powered by Empire Entertainment made its final stop in Bolgatanga over the weekend.
Having missed the chance in the Takoradi and Kumasi events, the former Takoradi Senior High School graduate followed the train to the Bolgatanga where the final zonal competition for the Northern Regions was held.
In all 10 young superstar wannabes participated in the event under the watchful eyes of judges Cox Tamakloe Multimedia Broadcasting’s, Hiplife artiste, A-Plus and DJ Newman Dakora.
The judges had no difficulty setting of the third timer, Joseph as the line of local talents failed to impress both the judges and the crowd the converged at the crowd held at the New Life Line Bar.
The show kicked off with the hopefuls selected out of the lot the previous day, performing tracks of their choice. After that stage the number was cut to five.
The top five including Anthony Zuure Bagnaba, Mensah-Appiah Kwasi Ababio, Emmanuel Arhin, and Christopher Zobil proceeded to sing their personally composed Star Beer theme songs.
At the end of it all, the judges settled on Joseph Buabeng as the winner of the night. Settling for the second position was another second timer Mensah Appiah Kwesi Ababio while the local favorite Christopher Zobil took the third position.
Buabeng, Ababio and Christopher for their prizes, took home GH c 500, GH c300 and GH c 200 respectively as well as souvenirs from Star Beer.
Buabeng and Ababio in addition book their place to compete in the final event in Accra in September.
Featuring as a guest performer was K.K. Fosu who livened the atmosphere with a repertoire of songs from his previsous ulbums. Also on hand to entertain the crowd was “home boy”, Nkantanan who starred as side attraction and thought the amateur performers a few skills if they are to make it to the top.
Later in an interview with the Showbiz, Joseph asserted that having been to three events, he has now seen the performance for all those who have qualified adding that he is going to sharpen his skills to win the grand event.
Prior to the declaration of the results, the crowd for no reason become rowdy and nearly marred the show with the throwing of bottles unto the stage. The timely intervention by the police averted any trouble.
