The NEXT BEST THING

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 01:07:00 +0000

The NEXT BEST THING was an 8-episode celebrity impersonator competition for ABC that ran May 30 - July 27, 2007. The producer had an email alert set up for people interested in applying to be on season 2, but on February 2/08 sent the following message out to all who had registered:
.
"Thank you for your interest in The NEXT BEST THING. The show has wrapped as of July 27, 2007."
.
A tip of the hat to producer Peter Engel Productions for having enough respect for applicants to let them know what was up. Most just shut down the email account and go on to the next thing.

NASHVILLE STAR

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 00:52:00 +0000

Auditions to be on NASHVILLE STAR 6 ran from February 9 to March 21/08. The deadline to submit a video audition was March 10. Finalist were contacted by March 31st.
.
After NASHVILLE STAR 5 ended in early 2007, word from the producer was that season 6 would air in January, '08. But then USA Network made it clear it wasn't interested. The parent company, Universal NBC, then decided to air NASHVILLE STAR 6 this summer on NBC. The format has been expanded, with contestants as young as 16 permitted, and duos and trios now eligible as well.
.
If you would like to audition to be on NASHVILLE STAR 7, VPTV will update this post with new info (premier date/renewed?/season 7 casting) when new info becomes available. The reason the show was dropped by USA Network was the failure of any past winner to break out as a true star, as American Idol has managed to pull off a couple of times. That being the case, if you want a chance to be on season 7, buy several copies of the debut release by the winner of season 6.

MAKING THE BAND

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 00:15:00 +0000

Season 4 of P. Diddy's MAKING THE BAND is kind of like Cher's farewell tour - never ending. The first iteration ran in the fall of 2007 and ended with the formation of new boy band Day26. MTB4's second season (Day26 sharing the mandatory loft living space with girl group Danity Kane, winners of MTB3, as the 2 bands worked to complete their new albums) premiered January 28/08 on MTV and wrapped March 17th. MAKING THE BAND 5 (or is this MTB4/3?) will be a reality show documenting the tour that Diddy is launching in May with Danity Kane, Day26 and solo act Donnie Klang.
.
Will there ever again be a viewer participation version of MAKING THE BAND? VPTV will update this post when new information becomes available, but for now it doesn't look good. Mr. Diddy said he's not interested in doing another one, and this long goodbye seems to confirm that. .

FEMALE MC COMPETITION
