8 Finalists Selected for 'GIFTED' Television Program

LOS ANGELES, May 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wright Gener8Xion Entertainment, a joint venture between Wright Entertainment Group and Gener8Xion Entertainment, Inc. (the "Company") (BULLETIN BOARD: GNXE) , has announced that producers have selected the final 8 Contestants for its soon to be televised talent search program called "GIFTED" (http://www.giftedtalentsearch.com/).

An estimated 16,000 people turned up for the nationwide auditions; 800 hopefuls traveled to Nashville for the biggest auditions of their lives; 8 finalists remain on GIFTED.

The GIFTED auditions, which have taken place in mega-churches across the United States, invited competitors 18 and over to sing acapella versions of classic hymns such as "How Great Thou Art" and "Amazing Grace," with the winners of those auditions moving onto four regional auditions where eight finalists have been chosen.

The GIFTED finale will be hosted by Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell, with the competition's winner receiving a major-label recording contract, career management by Wright Entertainment Group (www.WegMusic.com), and day-to-day support from Wright Gener8Xion Entertainment. In addition, a $10,000 donation will be made to the church where the winner originally auditioned.

"I am around exceptional talent all the time, but I am absolutely overwhelmed by the talent we have seen during the GIFTED auditions -- it is truly spectacular," said Johnny Wright, President & CEO of Wright Entertainment Group.

"The GIFTED project was born out of the direct response from senior Pastors and Christian leaders across the country all saying they wanted a vehicle that highlighted the vocal 'gifts' inside of young people. We were thrilled by the initial response that within a 30 minute period we received over 17,000 people who downloaded our contestant application. Never have we experienced such a high level of enthusiasm from participants. I anticipate Gener8Xion Entertainment may capture strong revenues from the licensing of cd's and dvd's, and from ticket sales from tours and other related merchandise," said Matthew Crouch, Chairman and CEO of Gener8Xion Entertainment, Inc.
