Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall

It's back! Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall, the talent show that showcases the best and freshest dancehall acts is back. The No.1 dancehall TV show airs the first of two audition shows for its fourth season on TVJ at 9:30 p.m. this Saturday, March 5.

On its fourth year, the Magnum Kings and Queens team travelled the island, stopping in five locations: Ocho Rios, Montego Bay, May Pen, Portmore and Kingston, seeking fresh and clean talent to compete for the coveted titles of 2011 King and Queen of Dancehall. Hundreds turned out, putting their best foot forward and hoping to get a spot in the Top 10 for each location.

Producer, Sanjay Ramanand, was elated about Season 4: "This is our fourth year and, believe me, we're still shocked by the high concentration of talent that we got, and looking forward to sharing them this Saturday with Jamaica."

"This season is one bound to have you fastened to your TV screen from the beginning. We have a new package, new host and a new location (that we are still keeping a secret) and, most of all, fresh talent," said series producer, Natalie Parboosingh.

"Exciting days are ahead," said Parboosingh when questioned about the format the audition shows will take. She noted, "We've adjusted things a bit and will be packaging the audition shows in the most exciting format in two shows, one this week and another next week." The producer said this change wouldn't take away from the show but would create more excitement.

Ms Kitty, Scatta Burrell and Professor Nuts will return as judges and will select five princes and five princesses from each of the five audition locations. After deliberations, they will select the Top 20 Live Show finalists (10 princes and 10 princesses). The Magnum Top 20 will be announced to Jamaica on two live shows on TVJ, starting Saturday March 19. The 20 finalists will then compete for the Magnum crown and $1 million.

Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall is sponsored by Magnum Tonic Wine, Digicel, TVJ and THE STAR and will be broadcast on TVJ at 9:30 p.m. this Saturday.
