Anyone seen it?
I personally am no music addict, but this show really is nice!
I like the way they sing and let the judges give comments, and at least it ain't just pop music. And Simon rocks btw!

Anyway what do you guys who saw it, think?
It runs tuesday and wednesday, at 9 and 9:30 respectively, they are down to 6 singers from 10000 who started in early July!

It's a search for superstar show. Not the PopStars kind on Global TV. This one is much more original and fun. It's on FOX, America's craziest station who takes any kind of hoax videos we send them! :tongue: (thinks of Simpsons' episode with aliens featuring Mulder and Scully)
Try to see it, though you might have a hard time catching up now, it's been a month since, and so much has happened.

It's based on the British program 'Pop Stars', which has 'created' some more pretty people to buy average records from. Simon Cowel, one of the panel of judges, was in that series, he's a notorious arse. He also owns the TV rights for the show and is making a fortune from making thousands of teenegers miserable. Now THAT'S a great job......

Is Popstars British?
Thought it were a swedish creation, so much shite comes from our telly nowadays and then other countries buy the rights to show them.

Oh well, nice to hear that the swedish telly isn´t the only one that spits out crap. *hmmm*

We certainly need more quality television like Poptarts, Island of lunatics, Big Mama and such.
Oh yeah, Bring it on...

If I'm right Big Brother shows where 'invented' in Holland... maybe they should give the inventors some kind of 'Most Stupid Thing On Earth Award'... MSTOEA... sounds like some kind of stupid MS app.

No he meant Pop Idol.
Yeah it was originally that in UK.
IMO Simon is just right, he has to be strict or otherwise we will never see star quality. Judges like Paula and Randy are much less judgy and harsh, therefore their opinion often revolves around: I thought you did a good job, you raised the bar...

Wingding, do you get that show in Ireland? (American Idol)

We only see occassional reports about the American show, no doubt it'll be televised here well after it's all finished.

Ireland did it's own version of American Idol, it was run the BoyZone's manager. They put together a pop group of six people (they callede themselves 'Six' - how original). And they've had two no. 1 hits in Ireland so far.

I wish they could do a show about who is the most gross. Maybe 'American Cretin'?

He!He!
In a month or so we will have a show called "Fat camp" in Sweden, don´t know who came up with that brilliant idea first though...but jeeze man, one step closer
to "The running man"...

Kind of sick methinks, fat people locked in a room and then they have to lose weight within a certain period of time...like that will help them in the long run.
As soon as they get out of the fatty camp they will most likely gain weight again.

Oh the humanity.

But did you have that show with heavy duty criminal rapist & massmurder drug addicts that were locked into a small 5 by 5 metres room with a piece of cannabis?

All in the room knew that one of the participants had this piece of haschiz in his stommac...the tricky thing was to figure out who, not even the poor fella who had it knew of it as they were "put to sleep" before "inplanting" the brown [-peep-].

That´s what I call new thinking when it comes to quality television.

Only god can tell.

Just look at the style of television program, say 30 years ago...it´s scarily different
from todays shows.

So imagine how it will look if it will continue in the same pace as it has done so far.
Live executions, children programs with topless program leaders, ad interuptions every 3 minutes and so on...I can´t wait.
