SuperStar USA
If you're not watching Superstar USA, you should be. This show takes the worst singers and makes them think they are competing for an American Idol style glory. These kids have loads of charisma but the most atrocious singing voices ever. The self-named 'Nina Diva' sings the theme song from 'Beyond Thunderdome' in a voice that evokes a trumpet being played by a cat.
After her performance one judge ask her "Have you ever been to a Thunderdome?"
The contestant, shakes her head, smiles and sheepishly admits she has in fact never been to a Thunderdome. "Not yet!"
"'Cause I have," the judge continues. "And the Thunderdome is like the superstar industry. It's not a place for someone who's emotionally weak. I don't see you fighting for you life out there."
The contestants never hear each other sing, which explains how the show gets away with the hoax for so long. During the performance before a live audience the producers even went as far as telling the audience that the singers were terminally ill so as to prevent them from booing. It's still pretty funny.
Comments
Hilary, I must say that I am disappointed in you for watching this show. It should be boycotted. It's like all the popular kids from highschool (who never grew up)are trying to make a network hit based solely on making fun of people. Nice one. Don't you know the golden rule?
