Must Be The Music- Sundays @7pm Sky One- 7 out of 10

Apart from the crap grammar in the title, the blatant rip-off format, the stupid, screaming, baying studio audience and the airheaded, dead-behind-the-eyes, dull-as-dishwater, "look-at-me-aren't-I-so-young-and-pretty-and-I'm-friends-with-Peaches-Geldof-doncha-know?" host (Fearne Cotton if the clues weren't so obvious). Yes, apart from all this, Must Be The Music is actually rather passable.

It is, of course, a rip of The X Factor, with the studio audience, the three judges with their buttons that they press to crush people's dreams and the prize of getting into the music industry. However, the key difference is that the people auditioning actually have to be able to play an instrument, which makes them about a million times more talented than the corresponding X Factor warbler.

Unlike The X Factor, the three judges are young, Scottish and black, in that order. We have baby-faced midget Jamie Cullum (famous for playing the piano standing up), Sharleen Spiteri (famous for having the most un-Scottish name ever) and Dizzee Rascal (famous for being the acceptable face of hip hop for the white, British Middle Class).

Presumably, the judges, especially Dizzee, were chosen to appeal to a younger demographic. Sadly, these people, whilst being able to spot musical talent a mile away, cannot pick out the x factor (so to speak) of what makes a musician into a star, Cowell and Walsh's role on The X Factor.

Interestingly, the show appears to have just two rounds of auditions before holding the live semi finals (pronounced LIIIIIIIVVVVVEEEEEE semi finals), this despite the fact all the audition venues appear to be full to bursting point, enough to make many more shows about the auditions. This means, either, the majority of the auditions were so terrible they couldn't be shown on TV (not even Sky) or the producers just hired lots of people to stand around looking busy at the venues. Take ya pick.

So basically, Must Be The Music is X Factor minus bad grammar plus instruments minus Cotton (a move that can never be apologised enough for) which leaves it lagging behind it's ITV role model. But it's not at all trying to copy it. Not. One. Little. Bit.
