Season 12 of the popular talent TV show, Digicel Rising Stars may be the best so far.

This year, the show not only has a crop of talented contestants that make Sunday nights truly entertaining, but several movers and shakers from the international music business have been reinvited to serve as guest judges.

So far, Tanisha Scott, famed choreographer, and movement coach, Bryce Wilson, better known to be a part of the '90s duo Groove Theory; and David Miller, CEO of Seven Grand Entertainment, have been on the show.

Commenting on the show, Wilson said, "I was really impressed; I saw videos of the contestants before and I thought that they were ok and then tonight I was blown away. They were present and they took command of their songs. The judges' opinions were also really spot on."

In addition to serving as guest judges, these persons will also be offering prizes to the winners, such as artiste development, international marketing packages, a music video, song-writing sessions as well as album production. Upcoming guest judges on the show include Julius Garcia, president of Urban Career Artist Management; Angela Hunte, singer-songwriter and producer popularly known for her carnival tune, Party Done, and Jerry 'Wonda' Duplessis, Grammy award-winning musical composer and record producer.
