Fame Academy

commuterised

Did anyone catch this on BBC last night?
I think it was on last week also.
They now have 7 students enrolled in the school and there are 6 more places to go. I presume they'll drag this out over 2 more shows.

I really enjoyed the last series cos they were nobodies, really trying hard to make their careers work but I've heard that the people they have in this one are semi professional which sorta defeats the purpose.

Still I'll be tuning in for the next few episodes!!
here's the offical website.

>> Shame Academy <<
Ever feel you've been cheated?

Fame Academy is based on the idea that the
voting public can make an ordinary person's
dreams come true. But it's a lie. Most of the
contestants this year are seasoned professionals
who have been placed on the show by record
labels who've already signed them.

Of the first entries to Fame Academy, Louise
Griffiths sang backing vocals for Girls Aloud,
Al Griffen is signed to Trevor Horn's Perfect
Songs, and Carolynne Good is signed to BMG.

Other ringers include Nathan Thomas (a Univeral
signing, who wrote Another Lover for Dane Bowers),
Nicole Davis (signed with BMG publishing),
Janee Bennett (signed to Windswept Pacific Music)
and Mark Vallance (who is writing songs for 19 Music)

Britain's cynical music industry is using the
show as a focus group for their new acts, with the
whole thing paid for by gullible voters (and of
course everyone who pays a BBC license fee).

The words 'Lame' and 'Academy' appeared again this week after only a week. It only got 4.5 million on Saturday and 3.5 on Wednesday, with The Bill getting 8million.

When will BBC realise that this stuff is rubbish and take it of the air.
