One-hit-wonder SisQo turns up on country music star's doorstep

Wondering where platinum-follicled, dragon-unleashing SisQo (né Mark Althavean Andrews), sometimes judge of Most Talented Kids, former host of SisQo's Shakedown has gone? The old business model™ and paradigm shifts have held him back! He's now gold-haired wanna-be crooner, vying to become the biggest thing country music has ever seen. The derriere-adoring will be competing against a rag-tag group of six(6!) other has-beens will test their physical and mental agility to prove they are still relevant, and get a chance to have a song produced by John Rich of country duo "Big & Rich".

Let's meet our "celebrities"! Chart attackin' and heart attackin' Bobby Brown, former Wilson Philips member and author Carnie Philips, a scary blonde tranny , Juilio Iglesias Jr., Diana DeGarmo (who?), and Marcia Brady round out the cast for what's sure to be the most revitalizing move a television network has made since the renewal of American Gladiators.

Says the network that brought you My Big Redneck Wedding and Trick My Truck:

"Each celebrity will be paired up with some of Nashville's finest songwriters in an attempt to prepare them for a career in country music. In each episode, the cast competes against each other in challenges that will test them musically and physically to adapt to a country music lifestyle, both on and off the stage. At the end of the two weeks, the artist who is most prepared to impress a country audience, as determined by Rich, will record and release a song."

What does adapting to a country music lifestyle entail? Um...stuff like driving ATVs(which is "metal" and "confusing!") and...singing? We'll have to just sit and wait until the premiere, Friday night at 8 on CMT!

Or, you know, watch all the performances on grainy cameraphone videos on YouTube! Might I add, a youtube which features comments from youtube users such as "IdolSeacrest", "CountryMusikFan", and "Dianafan100"(authentic sounding!), saying things like:

  • sisqo is king!
  • Diana should win!
  • Bobby n Sisqo are the kings of r n b
  • when does this show start (followed by: i believe it's january 25th)

Here are four of the seven (sorry Julio, Carnie, and Marcia Brady fans), in all their muffled audio and lossy framerate glory:
