The Real Idol show

I remember watching It's Showtime at the Apollo when it aired back in mid nineties even though I only got to see it just twice. Late this summer I got to watch again and it's on very late at night around 2:00 and it's a very watchable show. Monique is a great host and everything you see on there is real and all the performers you see are everyday ordinary folks just like you and me. This a must show for people to watch cause not only does these amateur performers go out there to that legendary Apollo stage for five minutes of fame but to be on the same stage where hundreds of legendary performers before them have graced it. I sincerely hope I may get my chance to perform at the Apollo at a amateur night cause that'll be my ticket to reach my goals & dreams.
