New Zealand's Got Talent - 2012 Final
Television (Excerpts) – 2012
This Kiwi version of the Got Talent franchise scoured Aotearoa "on a mission to find a star". Topping the weekly TV ratings, the TV One series was hosted by weatherman Tāmati Coffey, with Rachel Hunter, musician Jason Kerrison (Opshop) and UB40 frontman Ali Campbell as the judges. In this opening excerpt of the 2012 final, the last two contestants are chosen: people’s choice Dudley Fairbrass, and judge’s choice Logan Walker. They join 10 other finalists — including eventual winner, 15-year-old Clara van Wel from Blenheim — to compete for $100,000 and a Toyota Corolla.
She stood out head and shoulders above the rest. She had so much poise.– Former New Zealand's Got Talent judge Paul Ellis on winner Clara van Wel, in The Press, 4 December 2012
