Who here has seen or heard of this show? Im pretty sure that its only Canadian (because all locations of shooting are in Canada) but maybe they do the same in America. Its all ran by Lou Pearlmen or something like that, cant quite remember, but hes responsible for the creation of things like N'Sync and such.
Its the 3rd year running now I think (the show) and its just horrible. What they do, is take thousands of applicants and screen them over and over and over, basicly until they boil it down to a certain few and make a boy band out of them or group like that. "Popstars" is horrible. When you "win" you get a record deal and all this stuff..... just like NSync! Holy shit, this is the crap de la crap of the Music Industry. And, oh my god kids just eat it up. Any thoughts?

yeah, it was started "down under"... there was a little blurb about it in my marketing book last year... it is a pretty lame show, but hey, the group Sugar Jones came out of it, so it ain't all bad...
P.S. that last comment was sarcasm, so keep all your negative comments to yourself please!! :)

I try to avoid the TV like i would poison. I never heard of any of those shows until I read this thread (seriously)
But I agree with you reflex, I believe it is trash. I guess that's why trashy people buy into it...

They had a British version of that show here in the UK, and one called Pop Idol.
You have to admit, some of the people that auditioned - what the hell were they thinking!!

The first episodes are funny when they get people to try out that couldn't sing to save their life and they actually believe they could become a popstar!!!
