I can't think of any other shows that have truly turned out real stars...aside from say Pentatonix. The last guy that won The Voice last season has a chance. But I can't think of anyone else that has benefited from being on any other show other than American Idol...
this is mostly a post to help me pass time at work...

1. "Did anyone watch WB Superstar?" In response to Reply # 0
It was on around 2004. My girl & I watched it as it was being broadcast. The judges were Tone Loc, Vitamin C and a dude named Christopher Briggs.
It was billed as a singing competition reality show but there was a twist. They would advance the worst of all the singers and cut the people with good voices. of course, the people who were advancing didn't know this. As the show went on, they would get makeovers, voice coaches and even dance routines with background dancers.
Me, my girl & my nephew recently spent about 2 hours recently scouring YouTube for clips and laughing to tears.
Yes, it's cruel and insensitive. There are times where it's absolutely cringe-inducing. But I'd be lying if I said it wasn't hilarious.

Rockstar INXS/Supernova I actually kinda dug, had a few decent singers on there that really rocked.
idk, I think with Youtube now more likely to find a star that way than these talent shows. American Idol hasn't really been very good since Simon left, some talent since obviously but the voting, the judging, stupid Big Machine dude, song choices, Randy Minor band, mediocre singers making the top 10 cuz they are cute.. gets on my nerves.
