Celeste Buckingham's SuperStar-dom!

Continuing our series of posts detailing Celeste’s continuing rise to fame and success, this time we’re focussing on her participation in the top Slovakian talent-finding TV show, SuperStar.

It was while working on tracks for the band Anchorage, which she formed with her sister, Carmel, that Celeste caught the attention of producers Andrej Hruška and Martin Šrámek.

They worked with her to finish the track “Blue Guitar” which Celeste wrote when she was aged just 12. Upon finishing the track it wasn’t long before Andrej and Martin were encouraging her to turn her natural talents towards competing on SuperStar. Celeste took up the challenge and soon found herself auditioning for the judges aged 16.

Celeste’s ability was evident and she impressed all who shared the stage with her as well as those watching from the judges table and at home. Week after week Celeste steadily made her way through the stages and wowed the crowds at every opportunity.

At no stage did she imply that she was a finished product. Instead Celeste was happy to take direction from the judges. Each week she worked on incorporating into her performances the tips they had given her.

About her time on Superstar Celeste has said: “I auditioned for the contest, hoping to sing and leave once the people get tired of it, and that’s it. But it was much harder and not all about the music. We had no choice of songs, had to learn fast, then waiting for hours and hours, screaming directors, fights between us contestants, and even a fair amount of the gossip press who speculated about relationships. We were all nerves, hungry and sick.

“When I got home tired out after three months, I supposedly wasn’t myself. At that time I seemed unaware of it, but my family feared for me. Well, if you aren’t ready for this, it’ll beat you out.”

Eventually Celeste finished in 10th place, a major achievement and turning point for someone so young.

Along the way she covered songs by unique artists with big personalities and bigger voices. Celeste took songs that are beloved by millions and gave them a fresh voice. Here are some of the tracks she covered:

  • “Because of You” by Kelly Clarkson
  • “Hey, Soul Sister” by Train
  • “Unfaithful” by Rihanna
  • “Mercy” by Duffy
  • “Listen” by Beyoncé Knowles
  • “You Had Me” by Joss Stone

Celeste’s new single “Go Away” and album “Bare” were just released on 3rd November. Watch the video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8UcDhfeB3E and make sure to leave comments and feedback.
