TV wants you [ 2007-07-13 16:27 ] An Indian television channel is looking outfor good singers in the one place that has escaped theprying eyes of reality TV -- the bathroom. "Bathroom Singer," anew singing contest on the Filmy entertainment channel, will zero in on anuntrained performer who's good at singing in the shower and can enthralviewers."We are looking for a combination of voice and a certain flavor," saidShailesh Kapoor, Filmy's content and marketing head, said late onWednesday.Contestants, who have to be 18 years and above, will exercise theirvocal 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 situationswhich ask for a certain kind of costume," Kapoor said.It was not clear whether the competition would eventually requireparticipants to sing under a running shower.Auditions start later this month with the show set to go on air in lateAugust.Unlike the many youth-oriented reality shows that have become verypopular on Indian channels, the creators of "Bathroom Singer" also hope toattract older contestants."Age is a huge barrier in other reality TV singing contests," saidKapoor."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 with2.5 million rupees ($62,000) in prizemoney.双语资讯 |
