Closeup 1 talent hunt countdown starts

Contestants of the talent hunt

Some may be confused with the part of 11 contestants making it to 'Top 10'. Since both Nourin and Rumi received 51 points, which was the benchmark for making it to that round, the regulation was curved just a little to honour the audiences' votes and give another opportunity to a talented singer to prove her worth.

In the last round (Bangla Cinema Oldies), more or less all the contestants delivered crowd-pleasing performances. Thanks to famed make-up artiste, Farzana Shakil's magnificent make-overs, the contestants not only sounded great but also looked like stars from the bygone era.

However, when last Tuesday night the results were announced, Rumi, Nourin, Abid and Mahdi were eliminated. Rashed, Nolok, Beauty, Mehrab, Sonya, Razib and Rinku made it to the 'Lucky 7' round. Now these seven will fight it out in the next round and the competition will move forward towards finding the voice Bangladesh is looking for.
