Grease is the word.

Excellant! This is better than the X factor.

I do love the audition stage of these programmes

And I'll provide the completly opposite view.

It's awful - the judges are pathetic, while the three stage audition process is far too dragged out - why let them dance/act when they obviously can't sing!


And I hate the audition process of these shows - far too much airtime given to the bad!

Typical "oh yeah, the viewers will know him from I'm a Celebrity.." approach.

Arrghh!

In my opinion Grease has been done to death in this country now thanks to constant repeats of the movie on ITV.

I think the idea itself has potential - Grease has a much broader mass appeal than The Sound of Music or Joseph - but in addition to what I said earlier, I also think we're all pretty sick of the audition formats of these shows.

I'm not sure how they could make the auditions feel different - but whatever the show, the audition episodes have all been virtually the same since 2001.

It's the audition process that makes these programmes for me. You can' t beat watching the deluded. Once it gets to the bootcamp stage i get bored.

What would ITV do without Simon Cowell? Sad really isn't it.

What would ITV do without Andrew of TV Forum? Sad really isn't it.

What would EastEnders do without Banksoriginal of TV Forum?

We can go on forever with this...

So is that a NO for the show then

I don't really have a fascination with Grease (as im not into movies) but it was fun to watch the auditions ect. I can't seen myself sticking with though.

What would the WORLD do without Nick Harvey of Nick Harvey land?

Yup, I think that just about completes it.
