Fun-filled Sunday with ‘All-Star Videoke’

GMA Network launches tomorrow the new “All-Star Videoke” with Solenn Heussaff and Betong Sumaya as hosts. They promise to give a show that’s twice the fun and excitement.

Because of her love for music and singing, Solenn is eager for the show to begin. “Ito talaga ’yung first hosting gig ko sa GMA Entertainment so iba ’yung feeling kasi sobrang bongga ’yung preparations sa lahat. Nandu’n ’yung pressure but also the excitement kasi I really like music and singing so dito magagawa ko talaga ’yun.”

On the other hand, Betong said, “Natutuwa ako kasi kami ni Solenn ’yung pinagkatiwalaan ng GMA dito sa napakalaking project na ito. As we all know, inaabangan talaga ito ng viewers noon, ’di ba? Sobra ’yung excitement ko kasi following the footsteps of Allan K., Jaya and Arnell Ignacio, ang laki ng shoes to fill in so I feel blessed and challenged at the same time.”

 The game features six celebrity contestants vying to outwit one another by filling in the missing words on a song in a videoke-type presentation.
