    I would rather watch the show on Fox if I was going to watch a karoke show, because at least that was a game show and it was interesting. I don't know were they found these people even the audience, I can see dancing around like Ellen or someone but this was cheesier, I can't explain it but when she and her guests dance around it's not the same, this was just a bunch of cheesy people. I don't like the host, he kind of annoys me, I know little kids like him because he was ion a boy band or something, This show just wasn't that great to me, in fact I didn't even watch the whole thing. I probably won't watch it again either. They could save it if they fix the show is run it can still be a bee, but they can sing more songs, and make it less cheesy and get a new host it might be a decent show.moreless

  • A great start to a series that I originally was not interested in watching.

    Forget "American Idol," THIS is a much better premise. I already watched this episode twice and can not wait for next week's episode. It was amazing how many people did not know that the words to "Venus" were actually "I'm your fire / AT your desire." I did not even know that. Joey Fatone probably makes the perfect host for this show. Though I felt it was kind of cheeky when they had the contestant do a song from *NSync, which, we all know, Fatone was once a member of.



    I hope this show goes beyond just airing four or five episodes. This is a show that deserves a full season.moreless

    the first episode is always the hardest. this is the episode that usually lays out the whole show concept, and i like ie. this show is very enjoyable. you know how many people mess up song lyrics so easily as of one word. this really teasts your skills. the contestants were some really good singers and some really bad. but either way, they played some great songs. i knew almost every song, which made the show easily watchable. i too, messed up on some of the simple words like and and such. the host is good, the show is perfect,and i like it.moreless

    • The premiere was initially scheduled to air in the fall, but presumably NBC was pressured by the premiere of Fox's similar competition show Don't Forget the Lyrics to push up the premiere date to July 10, 2007, since Don't Forget the Lyrics was scheduled to air on July 11, 2007.
