Dizzee talks up tele talent show
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 12 August 2010
Dizzee Rascal has been talking up Sky One’s ‘Must Be The Music’, a new TV talent show on which he is a judge – alongside Jamie Cullum and Sharleen Spiteri – which he says will be better the ‘X-Factor’ because, well, does he need a reason?
Oh, he does? Okay, well, here’s what he said about it to the Radio Times: “[‘X-Factor’ and ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ are] just another massive marketing tool. No discredit to that, but we’re giving the artists room to be independent. Being an independent artist, I can appreciate that. It’s a really good thing. We don’t try to grab on to them and manufacture them”.
The finalists of ‘Must Be The Music’ will win £100,000, a gig at Wembley Arena and, best of all, the show will organise for their songs to appear on iTunes. Yes, that’s right, iTunes.
