All eyes will be on Mount Hagen now that the Lae auditions of Digicel Play’s Yu Em Khax is done and dusted.
But unlike other centres, the Mount Hagen talent is unpredictable for the judges and is expected to surprise them.
Loop PNG got to talk with the super judge of the Yu Em Khax show, Calextus Simeon:
“The Mt Hagen auditions is one that is hard to predict, frankly speaking, because I don’t know what kind of talent to expect.
“We know that up in the highlands, they may have some surprising package for us.”
“I would like to see talents from the Highlands because one of the things we are lacking are talents from that region.
“We saw highlanders trying out the Port Moresby auditions and Lae but not getting through so I would like to see Highlanders actually coming in strong and I would love to see at least Highlanders into the heat.”
Mt Hagen residents will have the opportunity to audition for Yu Em Khax on Saturday 19 November at the Highlander Hotel at 10am.
The top eight contestants from Saturday’s audition will progress to the heats on Sunday 20 November, which will see three acts selected to take part in the live show.
