Great bathroom singer? TV wants you
[ 2007-07-13 16:27 ]
An Indian television channel is looking out for good singers in the one place that has escaped the prying eyes of reality TV -- the bathroom.
"Bathroom Singer," a new singing contest on the Filmy entertainment channel, will zero in on an untrained performer who's good at singing in the shower and can enthral viewers. "We are looking for a combination of voice and a certain flavor," said Shailesh Kapoor, Filmy's content and marketing head, said late on Wednesday. Contestants, who have to be 18 years and above, will exercise their vocal cords in a studio set that replicates a bathroom with tiled walls, showers and taps, but will not appear undressed. "As the show progresses, there will be specific themes and situations which ask for a certain kind of costume," Kapoor said. It was not clear whether the competition would eventually require participants to sing under a running shower. Auditions start later this month with the show set to go on air in late August. Unlike the many youth-oriented reality shows that have become very popular on Indian channels, the creators of "Bathroom Singer" also hope to attract older contestants. "Age is a huge barrier in other reality TV singing contests," said Kapoor. "But we are not looking for a professional singer -- just someone very, very entertaining. That person can be a 50-year-old." The winner of the show, determined jointly by a jury and the audience, will walk away with 2.5 million rupees ($62,000) in prize money. 双语资讯
