Finally! After a sizzling start with two episodes of the five combined auditions, the first Live Show in the 7th Season of Magnum Kings & Queens of Dancehall kicks off this Saturday January 25th at 76 Constant Spring Road in Kingston and live on TVJ at 9:30PM.  The Magnum stage will come alive with the 1st 14 contestants from Castle Red.
 
The show’s three resident judges: Miss Kitty, Skatta Burrell and Professor Nuts, have selected the Top 28 finalists from the 5 auditions held in December 2013, ensuring that the best talent from the auditions get to showcase their skills on the Magnum stage.  The 28 finalists will be grouped into two Castles:  Castle Red and Castle Blue, each with 14 finalists: 7 princes + 7 princesses.
 
Keeping the format of the show’s full dancehall content, the fierce weekly Fashion Segment will return along with the competition for the designers.  Each week the show showcases a different designer with a different swag.  The fashion designers (up and comers and veterans) all have different styles, all bringing their own creativity to the show.  After every live show, pictures from the featured designer’s collection will be posted on the Magnum Kings & Queens Facebook page.  When the 14 live shows are completed, an album will be created featuring all the designers with their collection.  Fans will then be given the opportunity to vote for their favourite designer; the winning designer will win the grand prize of J$50,000.
