According to the deputy minister for Tourism Arts and Culture, having a tall list of achievement qualifies one to be a Judge on a reality show.
He once again added that the only reason the VGMA female vocalist of the year is being thoroughly dragged for booing a contestant during TV3 mentor auditions could be that she is new in the entertainment industry and hasn’t achieved much.
“Sometimes when you haven’t attained a certain level yet and you are doing some stuff, people will question you for the basics you are doing such a thing, same act if a top-notch industry player does, he or she will go scoot free. But in Abiana’s case it’s a different ball game all together, people will question in what capacity is she making such Judgement”
