And the winner is…
Senior Superstar Sunshine Coast Grand Final was held on Sunday 16 November at the Caloundra RSL.
A capacity crowd of over 600 attended to find out who would be crowned the 2008 Senior Superstar.
14 acts performed singers covering all genres including jazz, country, Broadway and bush ballads.
Some seniors chose to present more contemporary songs with tunes from Joe Cocker, James Brown, John Williamson and Neil Diamond presented.
There was even a tribute to spy music played by Sax and Axe.
In third place was Micheal Wouters who once again got the crowd going with his version of James Brown classic “I Feel Good”. He threw himself into the song – so much that he ended the song on the floor!
In second place was Jenny Wood. Jenny is a Living Choice resident from Kawana Waters. She sung the Broadway classic from Cats “Memory” and impressed all including soprano Judy Glen who was one of the judges.
The winner or rather winners of Senior Superstar Sunshine Coast were Quintessence – a four-piece female vocal ensemble that got together only 3 months ago.
The ladies presented a seamless arrangement of the wartime classic “ A Nightingale Sung in Berkeley Square”. Their harmonies were pitch perfect as was their presentation and style, which astounded everyone including the judges.
Not only the winners of the series but all of the 55 acts that performed in the Sunshine Coast Senior Superstar proved that talent is not limited by age. All who have attended the heats and the Grand Final can attest to that!
