Star

Storyline was pretty soapy and major elements were unbelievable (like the artists never leave Atlanta - even the awards were supposedly in Atlanta). But the music was great and the acting was fine. Overall an enjoyable watch.

This show is decent but trash on the low. The acting is ok, a step above cringe but still not that good. The songs are pretty good and I added some of them to my playlist. There aren't too many wacky storylines and overall, it flows pretty well. I say get past the first two episodes because they are still establishing the storylines.

So this time we have the poor white girl and the rich black girl which is a change of pace. I agree with a few of the other reviews that the show could be predictable, but I get what Lee Daniels was doing when he said he was just trying to balance things out. The music is great, always me some Queen and that dynamic voice of hers taking me to church for a moment. It is going to attract a certain type of viewer, but if it does it will probably do a little better than I think. But it is no way equal to Empire. I have added it to my watchlist though. Lee Daniels it's time to get out of your comfort zone and let's see what else you have to offer at this point.

The writing is very very poor. It doesn't make sens at all, even really hard to believe. Also hard to believe that it even crossed their minds as it's too far from reality and it's not SF. There is a huge lack of coherence. Dancing in front the police, the whole killing things, the families, the songs writing just before the show... actually nothing make sens and sometimes it's pathetic. You can't avoid saying few WTF for each episode.

I put 5 for the actors at least, most deserve better. By the way Naomie is a good actress.

I really don't like to say negative things or hurt anyone it's sad because it's more written to make quick money than to make something really good. It's a pity because these actors could really make a good show.

I found this show by mistake when flipping through channels. I am now hooked. Knowing family members that have been involved in the music business makes it even more intriguing to me. I have always loved both Queen Latifahs singing and acting skills and must say she plays someone you can only learn to love more and more each week. Benjamin Pratt plays the part of a man who you can both hate and love at the same time. Even though I am not familiar with the girls that portray the young singers.(though a bit risqué at times) they are exceptional. To be honest I can't think of any actor in this show that doesn't keep you wanting more. The only problem is every time I get interested in a new series they end up taking it off the air. I am pulling for this one!
