Lame academy, 1 September 2003
Author: Greatwhitewhale from London, England

It was called that in the first series and now the second. I don't see a great programme where you see what the young people get up to or how good they sing, I see a desperate attempt by the BBC to mix Big brother with Pop idol to get ratings. And the self-promotion and everything BBC doesn't help either.

It's just too boring, too "it's all being done before" and lame. Cat Deeley and the celebrity version (with such celebrities as Kwame Kwei-Armah and Paul Ross) doesn't help it and Patrick Kielty cannot get any charisma.

I like to end off with a game where you try not to say "Who?". OK? David Sneddon.
