Imagine if producing / working on this show was your job.
Your job. To emotionally manipulate children and make them cry (for entertainment).
How could you possibly feel proud of how your life turned out?
this show is terrible, Ronan seems to think everyone is an international superstar!
In 10 years of reality singing shows we have not produced a single “international superstar”
Hopefully this will be the last in the Underbelly series. What a load of dross “Badness” is. I tried to watch it, but just couldn’t commit to such a convoluted load of garbage. The first one was brilliant, but ever since then the franchise has been spiraling downwards.
Ellery – Imagine if your job was reality tv.
Any part of it. How could you possibly feel proud of how your life turned out?
Reality should have a designated network(s) and get out of the way of Australian drama.
@ Ellery B sounds like the ideal job for a perent of Teenagers!!
This show has so far shown that out of 10,000 people who think they can sing you can find 150 who can really belt out a great tune. And much more entertaining than the Voice.
Ellery B, no need to watch The X Factor to see that! I see it every day at the local coffee shop where parents do the same thing.
LB…hate to be the bearer of bad news but underbelly -“squizzy taylor” has begun preproduction in melbourne already.
