Office Singing Competition

ABC Don’t be fooled – it’s not a sing-off among our favorite cast members of The Office, but rather the latest reality show concept. I’ve said it before, and I guess I’m going to keep saying it… a reality show can be created about virtually anything. The latest reality concept, called The Singing Office, asks employees of two different companies to audition on the spot. CBS ordered the pilot, so we’ll see how well this baby flies. Reminiscent of American Idol, the best five singers “go to Hollywood” and are vocally trained and assisted by a choreographer to perform their song for a studio audience. The audience chooses the better of the two offices, and the team wins a cash prize. If the show takes off, the season would end with the final winners of each episode competing for the grand prize. The show’s producer, Laurie Girion says, “Everybody knows people at their office who stand up at the Christmas party and sing karaoke. This is a show for these people. We’re not looking for the next pop star, we are celebrating the real people who have picked up a hairbrush and have sung in front of a mirror.”
