Popstars
Argh this is too weird.

My best friend from school is in the final 15 of the popstars tv show....I'm watching him on tv as I write this post.

If anyone in the UK is watching his name is Michael Green.

So if he's your best friend, shouldn't you be there cheering him on? :-)

Hehe the "insider gossip" is that he made it into the final 10 (shown this coming saturday) and is living in the popstars house.

This is just what one of my friends told me yesterday as they spoke to Michael recently.

Oooo I wonder if he becomes famous, should I try and sell some stories to the newspapers? Wink

Is Popstars similar to the American Idol TV show?

Yeah American Idol was *borrowed* from our version, that's why you had Simon Cowell as a judge :)

we're borrowing a lot of shows, including Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, Who's Line Is It Anyway, as well as Survivor and Big Brother. Our UK buddies have a knack for creating original shows that have made it big.

Many of these shows actually orginate in the Netherlands. The BBC hires a famous think-tank in the Netherlands who sit there all day and dream up these whacky game shows. They then sell the liscencing onto various countries around the world -- usually to the highest bidder, hence the US.

Because they didn't ask him that question Cool

You people are too cynical (or jealous of my amazing claim to semi-fame Angelic)

If anyone in the UK watched the show on saturday when he got interviewed, his house, where Pete Waterman (the guy who discovered Kylie Minogue) told him he made it into the Popstars house, is like just down the road from here.....I should have driven round there and danced around in the background Wink
