Getting admitted into one’s dream school is the goal of any ambitious student. However, it is just the first step in the journey of getting to the top. Once admitted, students will have to study hard and it will be the teachers who will get to impart their knowledge, wisdom, and skills to willing learners, ensuring that graduates will be finishing at the top of their class.
“Top Class: The Rise To P-Pop Stardom” — the newest and biggest P-Pop reality talent search competition in the Philippines — will be having the one and only Asia’s Soul Supreme KZ Tandingan as its official vocal mentor. The thirty lucky students who will be admitted into the first batch of “Top Class” are going to have a rare and unique learning opportunity from the sole “X Factor Philippines” champion and one of the most impressive contestants in the 2018 season of the Chinese singing competition “Singer.” In fact, she was so impressive that the eventual winner, British Pop star Jessie J, specifically asked KZ to perform with her during the finals of the show.
When asked what KZ has to say to her potential “Top Class” students, she shares that “I will do my best to inspire and help them reach their full potential. We will have so much fun in the process but make no mistake, I will be strict.”
In becoming a mentor-judge on TV for the first time, she mentions that “I’m honored, grateful, and excited to be part of ‘Top Class’.”
Auditions for the show are currently ongoing and it will be open only until April 20, 2022, giving aspiring P-Pop trainees less than a month to get ready and apply for a slot in the highly anticipated talent search. For this edition of the show, “Top Class” admissions will only be open to boys aged 16-26. The audition mechanics can be found on the social media pages of “Top Class” and aspiring students will have to accomplish the steps enumerated on its Kumu channel.
“Top Class” is a collaborative game-changing program of Filipino entertainment giants: Kumu, Cignal Entertainment, TV5, and Cornerstone Entertainment. The show will be hosted by Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray.
The reality series will air on TV5, Kumu, and select digital platforms.
