I don't think they would let the bands perform original material. No one would tune in. It would be covers and themed Style Council and INXS nights.
But your right about the setup of auditioning bands - in the same setting as they do now with idol - it couldn't be done unless the judges selected based on video applications, and they are frankly boring compared to some twit in a robot costume singing out of tune.
Rap/Hip-Hop Idol however, low maintenance just like the current, and plenty of fans. Chances are it would be a total shit fest, but it has to be on the cards. It may have already been done??? You would have the Tupac dude, the Eminiem dude, the Streets dude and some chick dude who can breakdance and there's your final four. It would rate the tits off a cow. |

The first series of "X Factor" did have a bloke who looked exactly like a junior office clerk. Reckoned he "had the looks, personality and talent" to win as a rapper. Did a lame (and much spittle-producing) version of Stan and was told to get off.
The best bit was only seen on the minority, satellite follow-up channel. Much finger pointing and impromptu (is it called "face-off"?) stuff. "Simon Cowell, he's a complete ....ker - wouldn't trust him if he was my personal banker. Sharon Osbourne, get a life - my hands would shake if I had you for a wife..."
Actually, he wasn't even that good. I made up that stuff for him. He was pricelessly bad. I'd go for a "Rap" version of the show; maybe call it EnemaMan and see what comes out. |

Well there is always at least 20 of the white rapper wannabes here. Half the people watch just to see them.
You could churn out a few a year I think. Rap idol, Christian Metal idol and the cream of the crop, Paul Anka idol. That's got to be easy in the UK with so many people and so little distance to travel - cheap as chips. |

Call the show "I'm a Wannabe Anka" or something else, for short Sharon could be a judge, I'd love to see her face:
"I've finished... bap-baah with my woman cause she couldn't...
der-dee der-der-dee-der help me with my mind... bap-de-baaah
People think... doo-doo doooh-de-dedoo I'm insane cos I'm...
bap-bap frowning aaaall of the time, yeah..." |
