Artista's Top 6 to 'outshine' each other

MANILA, Philippines - As the Grand Awards Night of TV5’s grandest artista search nears, the final six contenders to the P20M total prizes face tougher challenges to prove themselves worthy of Artista Academy’s Best Actor and Best Actress titles.

Tonight at 8:30, the Artista Academy honors list will take on the challenge to “outshine” each other during the live exam. They will have a dance showdown wherein they will be partnered with celebrities. Mark Neumann will be dancing with Aira of Sexbomb, Vin Abrenica with Myka of Sexbomb, Akihiro with Philippine All Stars, Chanel Morales with AJ Muhlach, Shaira Mae with Edgar Allan Guzman and Sophie Albert with AJ again.

The live exam will also showcase two short films helmed by Artista Academy’s resident critic and director Mac Alejandre. The girls will star with John Arcilla in one short film, while the boys will be acting with Jenny Miller in the other. For their singing challenge, the Top 6 will be performing OPM duets.

Every grade counts for each of the Artista Academy’s finalists, and they know that their live exam scores will have great bearing on their chances of winning the coveted Best Actor and Best Actress awards.

The Artista Academy Grand Awards Night will happen on Oct. 27 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. For details on how to get free tickets to the star-studded event, visit the TV5 website at www.tv5.com.ph.
