The international Global Voice Singing Competition has started on a live broadcasted radio show. Uppsala resident Maini Sorri is one of the competitors.

The participants got in alphabetical order their songs played for four mentors from the U.S., Canada, England and Sweden. After the respective song was played it was up to the mentors to decide whether they wanted to work with the artist. Maini competed with his own song Dreamworld. When the song faded out was it was great excitement.

Should any of the mentors choose Maini? The relief was great when both the Canadian mentor Kelly Sapergia and Jörgen Hansson from Sweden wanted to coach Maini further in the competition.

If more than one mentor wanted to work with the artist, the contestants got to choose a mentor. The choice was not easy, but Mainis choice fell on the Swedish mentor Jörgen Hansson. After the radio show the contestants and the mentors got together via skype, getting to know each other. The English mentor Chrissie Cochrane praised the high standard of the competitors.

Maini and her mentor have now 3 months in which to cooperate and create the best possible contest entry to Global Voice Singing Competition finals in December.

“- It is impossible to predict anything about the outcome,” says Maini. “- There are many good voices in the competition and there are many different genres, from pop to opera. First, it is important to choose the right song. But I’m sure that me and my coach will do our best to get a great contest entry to the final. Then it’s up to the independent international jury that will in December decide who will be the Global Voice “.
