Created By William Wood



Logline:
(“Is it Live or is it Lip Sync”) Contestants from all across the country represent their city and compete head to head by singing, (Karaoke) performing and recreating live the sounds, looks, and moves of a popular artist or music group in search of being “the star they always wanted to be”.

Premise:
Puttin’ on the Hits is a one hour music reality television series pitting look-a-like performers against each other from all over the country. These contestants compete in a “Battle of the Bands” format, singing, performing, and puttin’ on the hits from yesterday and today, creating the illusion that they are that artist or group performing in concert.

Location:
Preliminary contests on the grass roots level are being held at karaoke clubs, malls and other venues in various cities with the grand final winners from these venues advancing to the next higher level (city finals) of competition. Show producers will be on hand (at these contests/auditions) to tape the city final contests as show segments that will include up close and personal interviews. These city final contest winners will earn the right to be flown to Los Angeles and compete on a Hollywood sound stage for a chance to win $100,000.00 in cash and other prizes.


Interactive:
Interactive elements will include text messaging, call-in, and Internet voting during the live elimination process and a website with information about the show, how venues can participate, and links to sponsors and merchandizing.


Audience:
Puttin’ on the Hits has proven to appeal to the 18 to 49 year old demographic as well with kids who can identify with these contestants. Viewers become well acquainted with the contestants as a result of the extensive biography segments, endearing family interviews and highly entertaining concert like tapings. The audience soon gets to know a lot about the personal lives of each the contestants, their families, the venue they represent. They get a real sense of what’s on the line for these contestants. The format allows viewers to form an involved, personal connection to the contestants and assures greater viewership than other, less personal reality talent shows.

Audience participation is constant and dynamic at home viewers are able to vote each week for their favorite contestants keeping them glued to their television sets. The studio audience can’t help but get caught up in the excitement and enjoy seeing recreations of famous recording artists performing in a concert like atmosphere.

Segments:
Puttin’ on the Hits is a 13-week reality series airing once each week after American Idol. The opportunity exists for a two hour special and a weekly feature in each episode where the audience must decide “Is it Live or Is it Lip Sync”.

The series begins week one with a taped episode of 6 winners (or group) from 6 city final competitions, continuing for the first 10 episodes. Live performances, voting, and elimination of 5 winners each week narrows the field to 10 winners for episode ten, leaving 5 remaining winners to compete in episode eleven, and 5 winners competing in episode twelve. Each of these segments calls for elimination of four of the five winners. The thirteenth Grand Final episode highlights the final 2 winners performing their two best performances with judges, the final vote and declaration of the winning group. Puttin’ on the Hits is “the show that makes you the star you always wanted to be”.

Special Note: These contest are currently be conducted all over the US however a large number are be conducted right here in Southern California. This national contact has already been contacted to participate. The on going in-market promotions is one of the keys to high ratings for this series. I will show you how it works.
