The Next Star is a Canadian reality television show on YTV hosted by Adamo Ruggiero. The show is a competition to find the most talented singer in Canada who is under 15 years of age. The Next Star inspires many to come and audition for their chance to win and become the next star. Winning contestants are Dunnery Bond, Tianda Flegel, Diego Gomes and Melissa "Charlie" Storwick. Four contestants have had commercial success after their appearance on the show: Alyssa Reid with the song "Alone Again", certified as gold in Canada, Brock Zanrosso with the song "Edge (End of the World)", Victoria Duffield with the song "Shut Up and Dance" which also went gold,[1] and Mimoza Duot with the song "Love". At the 2012 Juno Awards, Reid was nominated for New Artist of the Year. On the show, Canadian singers 15-years-old or younger can audition in an open call, attracting thousands nationwide. An auditioner will perform in front of the producers of the show, and then, if good enough, they are sent to the judges, Keshia Chante, Mark Spicoluk, and Tara Oram. A total of 16 finalists are selected to proceed to Toronto, where they then perform another song of their choice, and the top six are chosen. The final six contestants are then put through multiple tasks from creating a single to choosing their look. Finalists spend a couple weeks in Toronto, culminating in a live finale. 'Turn it Up' was released as a song sung by all of the season's finalists for the show.
