Anastacia Slams ‘Idol’ Format

While promoting her new MTV reality show ‘A Cut’, Anastacia lashed out at similar programs like ‘Pop Idol’ and its spinoff ‘American Idol’. “There is a desperate need for a show like ‘A Cut’, because the shows that are out there are all pre-fabricated shows that are trying to make stars out of people that are just average, everyday people,” she told Reuters in London. “In this business, TV is being taken up not by the true artists or the actors or the musicians any more, they are just being taken up by the common man, which gives everyone that feeling that there’s a chance for me yet to be a star.”
