RADLEYS GOT TALENT

Last Friday evening, Radley’s teens and Junior’s got together to take part in this special evening activity: Radley’s Got Talent.

 As the name suggests, it is a talents show similar to Britain’s Got Talent, but with teens, juniors, staff and student hosts performing on stage! This contest was present by Cameron and Helena, our friendly Activity Leaders, and in the Judging panel we had Alex, Jason, Jess and Heather.

They would judge and comment the performances, and decide which of them would be in the Top 3 of the Junior and Teens.

At the beginning of the night, the audience was given papers to vote in their favourite contestant. We were all very excited to see what type of performances would be shown.

In the opening the teen’s ALs presented us with a musical number, singing and dancing at the song “reach for the stars” .

The first performance of the show was Sharon, performing “Clouds” at the piano and singing. Her performance was great!

 After her, we impressive piano performances of very talented teens and juniors.

There were dance acts, and performances of original songs and choreographies. There were, as well, solo singing numbers, pairs and groups singing performances, student hosts performance, and many others more as good as them. 

All of this performances were very good, some of them really funny, and all were greatly applauded by the enthusiastic audience.

Other performances were really original and included gymnastics and boxing teen-staff routines. Anastasya, from Russia, did an amazing gymnastic routine and it was, in our opinion, the most impressive.

To end the performances, we had a dance number with fluorescent lights, also really original, and it was a good way to end the first part of the show!

The decision of the judges took its time, because it was really hard to choose amongst those acts the 3 best.

Finnally there were nominated: Sharon (singing) , Zeynep and Yagmur (the cup song), and Nobuhiro (dance with lights) for teens; and Anastasya (gymnastics), Michael (piano) and Yihan Sun (piano) for juniors.

With the students vote, Yihan Sun won 2^nd place, and Anastasya won the 1^st place in junior section. Nobuhito won 2^nd place, Zeynep and Jagmur won 1^st place in teens!

The night ended with the MC Techno T rapping, and Junior staff singing and dancing !

Congratulations to the winners!
