I've always imagined a show like The Voice where you have ACTUAL singers/people worthy of judging a singing competition (aka not fucking Jenny McCarthy) and they're blind-judging other ACTUAL singers (aka not an untalented athlete), to see how much talent is actually in the music business. Like when Rita Ora did The Voice as a prank? but instead of them turning around and having no idea who she was, have them turn around and be like, oh my god! Adele! you're so fantastic! or have nobody turn around for Bebe Rexha.

This whole thing sounds so fucking dumb, but also exactly what everybody's aunt watches after NCIS.

Sounds like what Jesse J did in China

her show wasn't a blind one. it was just a competition between established singers.

The Korean version is exactly like what you described. the format doesn't work in the US, it's just too broad of an industry. in closer knit countries/smaller star systems it's a lot cooler to watch, especially when rly famous performers are on and no one can figure out who it is.

the judging panel on that one is usually made up of current and former pros too.

That sounds so much better!

it's a lot of fun. the masks/costumes are also super low budget cuz it changes so quick which is hysterical.

Ryan Reynolds was randomly on it to promo deadpool > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiBPUpCJ7MQ

I remember one time simon and paula went on the stern show during the early days of american idol and they had a mini-singing competition. In the line up they stuck the lead singer of the band Staind. It was a no from Paula and Simon told him he would never be a singer. Then when they revealed he was famous it was hilariously awkward.
