    Good questions but no point having a show when the quality of the majority of the contestants are so bad. Isn’t there even a check to see if they have any knowledge of music at all?

  • Ten to the top

    Really wanted this to be as good as Popmaster, but, it seems a poor imitation, The host tries but it lacks the fun laid back presentation of Ken Bruce.
