Thousands of aspiring young popstars flocked to auditions all over the country, but only one will make it to the big time. This official book follows hundreds of hopefuls as they are whittled down on camera by a highly critical panel of music biz professionals, and then put at the mercy of the viewing public who will vote them off, week by week, until the winner walks away in a blaze of publicity to start his or her new life as a superstar. Illustrated throughout with exclusive color photos, this is the behind-the-scenes story of the TV event of the year.
