From a media release:
IT’S A GLEE CLUB SHOWDOWN AT WORK
- GLOBAL PRESENTS AN ALL-NEW ORIGINAL SERIES “CANADA SINGS!â€Â
- Coming in Early 2011
Team building at work strikes a new chord…Canwest Broadcasting announced today it will develop and broadcast an all-new original production, Canada Sings! (working title). The reality series will target budding talents within workplaces nationwide, encouraging glee clubs to come together and perform in competition.
Premiering on Global in early 2011, Canada Sings! is a one-hour original series that will challenge ordinary Canadians to form extraordinary glee clubs with their co-workers and compete in a head-to-head battle against another workplace team. From firemen to nurses, chefs to CEOs – gleeful Canadians are everywhere and Canada Sings! is on the hunt.
Each week Canada Sings! will travel to two Canadian workplaces to scout out talent for a glee club that will audition, rehearse and ultimately perform in front of a live studio audience – all within a few days. With the help of world class choreographers and vocal coaches, each group will prepare for the musical performance of their lives and battle each other in a high-stakes glee-off. A panel of celebrity judges will award the winning glee club with a donation to the charity of their choice.
Canada Sings! will be produced expressly for Canwest Broadcasting by Insight Productions.
Complete details for Canada Sings! including the show host and judging panel will be announced closer to broadcast.
I am a member of the organizing group of “Canada Sings! / Chantons Canada!” and have read in the Toronto Star and Toronto Sun today that you are proposing a new reality show based on “Glee” with a working title of “Canada Sings!” Please visit our website: http://www.canadasings.ca to find out more about our organization. I think there could be considerable confusion if you choose the title “Canada Sings!” for your upcoming show. Please get in touch with us.
LOL I dont think its going to be a problem! ha ha ha
A great idea…Canada Sings! If you can sing at all and have all of your life…it’s something you never lose no matter what age you are…thanks for this opportunity…. for the opportunity to shine!
