// what happens when you're both finalists and i can only vote for one?
it'll be just like whatsisname and whassisname from the US edition. They'll rig it so the most talented one (tclak) gets second, but the most popular one (me) wins, just to rark up interest in our albums (which will go head-to-head on the charts, with tclak kicking my ass all over the show).
urgh. this is so similar to popstars. i refuse to believe that NZ tv has to be this bland and sterile. where's the imagination?
enter the inevitable argument thst it sucks how someone is going to have it given to them on a silver platter, and loads of actual bands/artists are struggling etc...
I reckon the original popstars should all enter this as well. No more of this artificial buddy-buddy behaviour (the surface of which breaks all too easily) -- they can break into total bitch mode from the word go.
Traditionally it's the people who didn't make it on pop stars who give it another crack on pop idol. That nonce Darius went pretty far in the UK Pop Idol, but didn't win. Not that acutally winning seems to matter - you're sweet if you make it to the final three.
Is this the same Darius that was on Popstars, who did the most godawful rendition of "baby one more time" ever to grace the airwaves? Someone make that man SIT DOWN. I can't believe he had a UK #1. Actually then again, so did Bob The Builder adn the Teletubbies.
Why dont they combine fear factor and Idol would make better viewing dangling some guy over a snakepit while singing bridge over troubled water.... Or who can sing hey jude with a mouthful of lama testicles without vomiting....
of course, teina - there would be 7 people doing it, and those 7 people would also happen to be living in the same house, and trying to win the cance to marry a 'millionaire' who couldn't find a date outside reality tv.
"so i guess we'll get to witness the return of those two girls from deep obsession. "
hahaHAhahaa.
yes, idol factor. sounds good.
sounds very good infact.
see that'd make the "idol factor" thing all the more compelling, seeing a young ruben stoddard clone perched precariously atop a car attached to a crane, rocking around, singing 'wind beneath your wings' while blubbing like a little baby, holding on for dear life
I am almost bursting with excitement, it will be brilliant, if they audition in christchurch then I'm sending two of my hilarious friends to sing the home and away theme song, one on backing vocals, so I can cry with laughter watching them on tv. One of them is practicing right now.
Its more aimed at Karoke singers? like original singer/songwriters is not what they are after,just goodlooking people singing covers, didnt we already have a show like this about 5 years ago called showcase where howard morrison and jackie clarke were judges... they were kinda hard on people..
i wanna make a reality show called temptation island of the sharks. 12 couples dropped on a deserted island surrounded by severely shark infested waters and everyday they have to swim out to a marker until only one is left. i alos saw a great idea once for a show called joe aids. it was kinda like joe millionaire but it had a much better twist.
