[情報] Harmony Sweeps inspires NBC TV show
Some of you may remember when Sony Pictures Television taped
the Harmony Sweepstakes National Finals last year with the idea
of perhaps creating a reality TV show around the contest. A Sony
staff producer first thought up the idea as he once competed in
the Harmony Sweeps several years back and is a big fan of the music.
Well the bad news (for me) is they won't be basing it around the
Harmony Sweeps but the much more important good news is that they
are creating a TV contest that is to be for a cappella groups only.
Called "The Great American Sing Off" the show has been green lit by
NBC and the planning currently is for 8 shows to air around Thanksgiving
with an elimination each week. The casting folks assure me they are
interested in hearing from all styles, genders, ages etc. of a cappella
groups. Group members must be over 18 and groups must have between 4 to
10 members.
The contest it seems will be a slick American Idol type of production
and it should be interesting to see how major media will treat a cappella
music this time. Please no more Mickey Rapkin type "Let's make fun of a
cappella" publicity but rather a focus on the music itself which should
truly shine given this national showcase.
The details for auditions are being worked out and more info will be
posted here as soon as it becomes available.
