Asia's Got Talent (AGT) is the regional version of the Got Talent franchise that is airing on AXN Asia.[1] It is a talent show that features singers, dancers, magicians, comedians, and other performers of all ages competing for a prize of USD100,000 and an opportunity to perform at the Marina Bay Sands.[2] It started airing on March 12, 2015 across 15 countries in Asia,[3][4] culminating to a grand final airing nine weeks later on May 14, 2015.
The show is hosted by Marc Nelson and Rovilson Fernandez; while the judges are Anggun, David Foster, Melanie C, and Vanness Wu.[4] Melanie C is the third member of the Spice Girls to become a Got Talent judge (after Mel B and Geri Halliwell), while Anggun is judging on a second Got Talent franchise after sitting in the panel in the second season of Indonesia's Got Talent. This show is also co-hosted by Singaporean Youtuber and Power98FM DJ's Dee Kosh for sneak previews, highlights, recaps, and behind the scenes.
As not all of the contestants speak fluent English, they would usually speak in their local languages and an off-screen translator will help them to translate what the judges are saying to them and vice versa (with translation subtitles flashed on the screen). However, if the judges can speak their local language (specifically Van Ness who speaks Mandarin and Anggun who speaks Indonesian), a translator is not necessary. Therefore, this is the first Got Talent franchise to use multiple languages.
Filipino shadow play group El Gamma Penumbra was declared the winner of the show's first season. News of their win leaked early through social media even before the broadcast of the results,[5][6] causing dismay among netizens due to the spoiler nature of the leak.[6]
In third week of May 2015, according to a report of Editorial Insider, Asia's Got Talent announced pre-registration for Season 2 on its official Facebook page.[7]
