Four more will be named on Wednesday, February 27.
At stake is a spot in the April 2 Finals of the Winter Edition of Michigan's Got Talent - Held at Stables Martini Bar in Bay City every Wednesday.
Last week, 13 competitors took the stage and performed for the MI Talent judges. A full slate of performers is expected again on Wednesday. "We're hoping for another big turnout," said Stables Manager, John Buehl.
Buehl says the competition is starting to gain momentum again. "These things start slow and just continue to build as the weeks go by," Buehl said. Buehl knows what he's talking about since over 90 talented singers participated in a similar competition last summer. "I wouldn't be surprised if we had close to twenty performers next Wednesday, weather permitting," Buehl said.
