The City has a reputation to live up to and assistant producer for the competition Natalie Parboosingh is excited to be back in the second city for the third year: “The talent from the west has always been of the highest quality, every year new talent comes to the fore not only from St James but also from Westmoreland, Hanover, and even as far as Trelawny. The competition seeks to unearth new talent and as such we will continue to return to the west.”

All auditions will begin at 9 am with sinjays and deejays vying for a chance to become the 2010 Magnum King and Queen of Dancehall.

Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall will continue its long tradition of exposing fresh strong talent to the masses. The show which has had tremendous success over the past two years has come back fresh and clean with new concepts and an additional sponsor in appliance store Lucky Dollar. Magnum Tonic Wine has returned as headline sponsor of the show with The Star and Television Jamaica returning for a third year.

Also new this year is the addition of Professor Nuts as one of the three judges on the competition. He joins Skatta and Miss Kitty and replaces General Degree.
