Host Josh Groban, along with an expert panel of musicians including Brad Paisley, Kesha and Ludacris, welcomed the first set of hopefuls in a brand new singing competition called Rising Star. In the premiere episode on June 22, ten hopefuls battled it out with the dream that your instant votes would send them through to the next round.
Contestants need 70% of America’s votes to make the wall rise and to get them through to the next round. Votes from the judges each count as 7%.
Lisa Punch, 21, is originally from Guyana but now lives in Brooklyn, New York. She shares a two bedroom apartment with her 13 family members. She sang Whitney Houston and got 80% of the votes. Luda called her the total package. Brad said she should watch her pitch but loved her performance. Kesha said she had so much fun watching her performance.
