We all relish in a little entertainment and that's exactly what the sharp-tongued, Simon Cowell's<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0'Got Talent'<\/strong> format is based upon. By creating a stage for people all around the world to showcase their talents<\/a> - as bizarre, jaw-dropping or mind-blowing\u00a0they may be - this talent show is not to be missed. Come March, our side of the world gets to uncover talent from the largest continent <\/a>that also happens to be the most populous. Asia's Got Talent<\/strong> will essentially be the biggest ever franchise, spanning across 20 countries, creating a grand celebration of what we have to offer.<\/p>

Equally talented is the starry panel consisting of 16-time Grammy Award-winning musician, David Foster<\/strong>, UK pop sensation and former Sporty Spice, Melanie C<\/strong>, Indonesian rock icon Anggun<\/strong> and Taiwanese-American singer and actor, Van Ness Wu<\/strong>.<\/p>

Now as to which judge will play out which character, unsurprisingly, Foster will possibly be the meanest - he has even been dubbed the 'dreamcrusher' by fellow judges.\u00a0\u201cBecause I am the oldest, I have the least patience,\u201d<\/em> added Foster at the preview of the show earlier this week.<\/p>

Van Ness Wu on the other hand has been likened to be the sweetest one on the panel while Foster nicknamed Anggun and Melanie C as the 'wicked witches of the East and West'.<\/p>

Monkiers aside, the judges also boast of little secret talents. Foster is apparently a really good magician and does tricks as a hobby, Wu juggles, Anggun can oddly do impressions of a snail and Mel C can gargle the tunes to Spice Girls songs. Clearly, they're one talented bunch who know how to impress beyond singing.<\/p>

So if you want to catch the judges' hilarious and sometimes tense antics throughout\u00a0the show, be sure to tune in on AXN. The season\u00a0will consist of a total of 10 weekly episodes, leading with five audition episodes and following with three semi-finals and a finale. And if you're hankering for a little peek at the excitement then you'd be thrilled to know that the semi-finals and finale will be held at Singapore's <\/a>Marina Bay Sands.<\/p>

Is that a yes?<\/p>

The inaugural Asia's Got Talent<\/a> will premiere on AXN on 12 March at 8.05pm.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>
