 Channel
[V] Popstars is all set to announce its first pop
girl band.
The
names of the girls who have made it to the final five will
be made public on Thursday at 8 pm on the channel. The real
drama, says the channel, begins now as the finalists go
through a complete transition from being girls next door
to raving divas. Leading stylists, makeup artists, voice
trainers, music directors, lyricists, video producers, and
the record companies will work their magic to effect the
transition. All this will be captured on camera live.
Popstars travelled across Chandigarh, Delhi, Kolkata,
Bangalore, Mumbai and Goa auditioning and searching for
the perfect five. Jury members toured the six metros making
the crucial selection based on voice followed by confidence,
and personality.
 Extensive
tests were conducted when the semi finalists were brought
to Mumbai where the girls had to prepare their compositions,
make dummy tracks, go through dance training sessions, sing
difficult tracks all with a hope of making it as the ultimate
pop band. Thursday's episode will feature the jury visiting
the girls at their homes to inform them if they made it
or not.
 Popstars,
launched amid much fanfare (Star TV CEO James Murdoch flew
in for the formal announcement) late last year and has been
promoted aggressively across the Star network. Novel promotional
efforts like three kilometer long banners, wedding bands
on the streets of metros and hoardings have marked the Popstars
journey. It now remains to be seen if the band lives up
to its name.
