Yeah they have that "Making The Band" thing in loads of countries. The band from the English one broke the record for fastest selling debut single ever in the UK and when they got it they were talking about how "their hard work paid off" and that they "proved that theyre serious musicians" and all this crap when it was ovious that it was all because of the show. This franchise is the biggest farce in music history, its ridiculous. In the Irish one theyre making now, theyve billed them as being the first potential globaly succesful band from this franchise but their still in the first stages of auditions. I dont get that.
