MADRID, Dec. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ultimate Diva team announces that the tour has been so successful that it has decided to postpone the announcement of the eight European finalists for "The Ultimate Diva" show until January 5, 2015!
"We have had so many candidates signing up in the past week that we will need at least three more weeks for our judges to review them all and choose the top eight contestants," says the show's producer, Mark Skelton, who is presently on the European tour with "The Maestro" - Gary Catona.
"In addition to the European candidates, we have over 75 more American potential contestants who have registered in the past week," says Shelton.
In Great Britain alone, Maestro Catona was recently featured on BBC 4's "The Libby Purves Show" and was invited to appear as a guest on BBC 2's popular "Steve Wright In The Afternoon" radio show, as well as an upcoming BBC documentary on the Voice presented by Connie Fisher. France, Germany and Italy's media outlets have also provided Maestro Catona with a similarly warm media reception.
The Maestro has been in Europe for the past two weeks, traveling non-stop from one major city to another looking for those unique singers for the 2015 Ultimate Diva Show, and explaining why it will not only be different from other singing competition shows, but also "revolutionary."
"I am happily exhausted about what is happening on this European tour. This is such an amazing experience - the media people have been so good to us. The Europeans love our Ultimate Diva project, and the quality of the contestants we have seen is definitely 'Diva Material,'" says Maestro Catona.
"Media tour has had an unexpected impact on our product downloads. People have been downloading the 'Ultimate Voice Builder' program like crazy. Many are asking if they still have enough time to train for the competition. It would be awesome to have a contestant who built her voice with The Maestro's program, and earns a place on the Diva show," says Karl Talbot, a partner of The Ultimate Diva Show.
"So, for those who thought it was too late to enter the contest, the announcement of the winners will now happen on January 5, 2015 from Los Angeles," confirms Skelton.
"The Ultimate Diva" show's objective is to find the next great female artist and create a genuine "Diva" - a woman with overflowing self esteem, uncompromising artistic integrity, "truth-telling" instincts, and of course, an amazing voice that has the power to move the listener emotionally and spiritually. Ten contestants will live and train in a Hollywood mansion and receive guidance from Maestro Catona himself and his team of mentors for a duration of 12 weeks, starting March 2015. Only one will be crowned "The Ultimate Diva."
