Do You Know Someone Who Constantly Sings…
Who Thinks They are a FANTASTIC Singer…
But Really They Aren’t?
Does your friend LOVE to sing but wouldn’t stand a chance on American Idol? Do they drive you crazy with their singing everywhere you go?
VH1 wants to make them a STAR!
If you live in New Jersey or New York we wanna hear from you.
We are looking for outrageous singers ages 25 and up who are extremely entertaining and love to perform. If you think this person is the next Clay Aiken they are NOT right for this show. You cannot submit yourself, but if you have a friend, family, or co-worker who meets these criteria send them our way.
Shhhhh…
It is very important that you DO NOT tell this person you are submitting their name to VH1. This has to be a complete secret.
Please e-mail all submission to Crystal at [email protected]
-send photo via email
-tell what is quirky about your friend or relatives singing
-what are the favorite songs to sing
-Where do they live
-What do they do for a living?
Thanks

What, sell out a friend or relative and subject them to complete humiliation against their will, for $50 to $100? WHERE DO I SIGN?

wow, that's so hella lame. "hi, this is vh1 and we're jumping on the William Hung bandwagon. remember him from about five seconds ago when he was 'famous'? that was funny, right? so we're going to waste lots of airtime to make fun of other untalented people instead of promoting any real music, because that doesn't sell."
thanks vh1. love.

I should just direct them to karoake night at our local pub. It's simultaneously entertaining and excruciating.
