McDonald's Young Entertainers - 1998 Grand Final
Television (Full Length Episode) – 1998
McDonald’s Young Entertainers was a popular talent show for children and teens in the late 1990s. This series two finale sees the three finalists — Virginia McGrail, Sarah Beatty, and Sarah Ashby — competing for the grand prize of a trip to Fiji. They sing, play piano, and dance in an attempt to impress judges Matty J and Ellie Smith. In-between, host Jason Gunn and his young Super Troopers perform elaborate song and dance numbers to keep proceedings moving along. The episode ends with an emotional farewell, as two of the troupe’s fan favourites depart the show via song, tap dance and electric guitar.
Anyone who is not inspired by a performance would have to be a corpse...– Judge Matty J praises Virginia McGrail's performance of 'I Dreamed a Dream'
