The Canadian station Global TV has confirmed todaz in its official press release that there is a new singing reality show in works, called “Canada Sings”. One could desribe the concept of the reality show as something between Idol and the TV series GLEE. Competing against each other will be twelve glee clubs, formed in workplaces (among them teams from Air Canada, Toronto ZOO and others).
“Canada Sings is not your average singing competition. For most, it’s next to impossible to imagine singing with your boss or workmate in a chorus, but for our twelve courageous teams, it has become an exciting reality,” commented Barb Williams, Senior Vice-President, Content, Shaw Media. The charities that each of the teams have chosen, will be in case of team’s winning financially rewarded.
The show will be hosted by ET Canada’s Matte Babel, who will be joined by three main judges: Jann Arden (Canadian singer), Vanilla Ice (American rapper, mostly known for his hit-song “Ice, Ice Baby”) and last, but definitely not the least, our very own Pierre Bouvier, the lead singer of Simple Plan.
Each of the aired episodes (6 x 1 hour) will feature two competing teams with the judging panel declaring the winning glee club at the end of the hour. The brodcast date of Canada Sings is yet to be confirmed by Global TV.
And in case you are in Toronto this Wednesday or Thursday, you can book free tickets for the taping of the show. More info in the press release of Coalition Entertainment.
