I usually watch it - I like most well produced talent shows, but not the cheezy copy cat ones.

Remember Star Search- way back when??
Even the Gong show was funny- another oldie

I really liked Making the Band -"O Town" = 2000
Then there was a girl group version on a different channel- it was good too.
I don't know if either of those made it in the real world for very long but they were good shows.

Did you see the interview with Paula {seattle} she was really slurring and acting drunk or something.
