Girl Group Blush making waves in the US

Let me take you back to last year, a project called "Project Lotus' was set to find the next hottest girl group from Asia through a series of open and online auditions.

The call sent out by Project Lotus resulted in thousands of people auditioning online and in person. The amount of talent seen by the judges was overwhelming. After a gruelling period of auditioning, the final group was selected and named 'Blush'. Now they are being launched globally, releasing their debut single 'Undivided' which features Snoop Dog.

Check out their performance on US show So You Think You Can Dance.


They have come a long way! Congrats girls!

Project Lotus Update – Yoo Do Hyun named as the celebrity judge

On the 25th August, Rocker Yoo Do Hyun of YB was named as the celebrity judge in Project Lotus, the search for Asia’s Spice Girls.

In a press conference, Yoo Do Hyun explained why he decided to get involved with Project Lotus.
“I was often asked why it was me that decided to participate in this project. And I answered that I did not want to make a girl group that only the West likes, but a girl group that was very distinct and varied in terms of their music style. I’m not too familiar in the girl group area, but I do know that I want to give my varied music tastes.”

“I’m not sure if I could add such diverse musical style, but I believe this is a good opportunity and decided to participate. I think that this girl group will be different from many of the currently existing girl and boy groups. It seems like there will be serious and deep music composition work involved. In addition to feeling honored, I am also enjoying my participation in this project.”
Yoo do Hyun and other judges will travel around Asia to select the 20 finalists that will undergo gruelling training and elimination process. Girls will be eliminated each week until five are left standing. The lucky five will then fly to England to record their debut album which will be released next year, straight after the reality series have finished airing.

Everything has been mapped out for Project Lotus, the search is on for the five faces of the group. Good luck to all the girls at the auditions.

Search for the next Asian Girl Group Superstars!

The search is on to find 5 talented singers from all over Asia, to take the world’s music industry by storm! FarWest Entertainment, a production company helmd by former Walt Disney Company (Asia Pacific) president Jon Niermann, has teamed up with a group of Asian partners to find the next pop superstars in “Project Lotus”.

The concept of “Project Lotus” is to discover talents from Korea, Japan, China, India and Philippines, team them up with Grammy Award winning producers Eliot Kennedy and Brian Grant. Give them songs composed by prominent song writers that include Gary Barlow from Take That. It is guaranteed that they have a winning formula.

Auditions have been held over the past few months to scour new talent. To apply, you need to be an Asian woman aged between 18-25 and English speaking. In addition to being a great singer, if you are a great dancer too that would be a bonus and help with your audition. Auditions have closed now; the cut off date was August 2nd. People can attend auditions in their countries or upload their audition video on to Project Lotus’s website (www.projectlotus.tv), Facebook page or YouTube channel.

Successful candidates who get a call-back will attend a live audition in their capital city. A panel of celebrity judges will be critiquing all the performances. A group of 25 finalists (5 from each country) will proceed to the next stage of auditions and fly to Hong Kong to take part in an intense six-week training process. One girl from each country will be eliminated each week until the final five are left.

All the drama; triumph, tears and will be broadcast on TV in February and March next year. They plan to air the show in Australia as well, I would guess that Ch10 will pick it up. Ch10 likes shows like these. The group’s debut album will be released in April.
