Youth Director Hou Jialing said that Taoyuan has diverse youth creative energy, and the city government has created a performance stage through music, dance and performing arts. The "Taoyuan Star Talent Show" is not just a competition, but also hopes to become a platform to accompany the growth of young people and accumulate practical experience, allowing young people to start from Taoyuan and move to more diverse performance stages.
Hou Jialing said that this year's competition system has been upgraded, and a "one-to-one tutor training course" has been arranged for the final teams. Professional tutors will provide individual guidance on song selection, musical style arrangement, performance interpretation and stage tension based on the performance of the contestants to help young people adjust the content of their performances. The judging lineup includes Bobida, Wei Shifen, Damu and Xu Kaihao, and star spokesperson Xiandu Bella (Lu Yi) and "Crispy Crispy Band" also performed on the stage.
The contestants said that from the preliminary rounds to the finals, each stage is a learning and breakthrough. Especially the one-on-one training sessions allowed them to clearly see the areas that need to be adjusted in their performances. Through repeated corrections through professional guidance, they were able to complete the performance with more confidence from the nervousness of the first stage to the finals. They not only improved their skills, but also confirmed the direction of continuous investment in music and dance.
The "Taoyuan Star Show" also continues to connect follow-up performance opportunities. Previous outstanding teams such as Xindu Bella and Lonely Counseling Room have released singles and appeared on large music stages. This year’s winning team will also perform with previous winning teams at the “Taoyuan Halloween City” performance (Taoyuan Cultural Plaza) at 1:00 pm on October 26, making the finals the starting point for young people to move to the next stage.
