Idol Goes Country With New Show
Well, it seems Idol’s creators are prepared to capitalize on their country success with a new reality show devoted to country.
They’ve partnered with CMT to create a new show called Can You Duet? It’s set to debut on April 14, and the goal of the show is to find the best unsigned country duo a la Big & Rich, Brooks & Dunn or The Judds.
Contestants can be already-established duos, friends, lovers or even strangers. I can already see the hook for some made-for-reality-TV drama.
No word on which network this would air on, but considering the partnership is with CMT … well, this one is probably cable-only.
By the way, the winner gets a record deal.
