Schools break BBC

Alright the headline is a bit of an extreme, it isn’t the BBC and it isn’t even the full BBC website but it is a small side site. The BBC have launched a seperate website to host videos and ratings for the school choirs hoping to perform with the Any Dream Will Do, Joseph winner.

Basically the site lets any school interested in performing with the Joseph winner on TV submit a video and description that members of the public can vote on.

Since launching the site the BBC have had to suspend ratings a couple of times and put the deadline for submitting videos forward due to massive demand.

You get to watch a video (flash) of the school choir and then rate the school out of five coats. The top twenty schools go through to the final round to win a place on stage.

Whatever you think of the BBC doing reality television - at least when they do they extend it beyond a way of making money from text and phone votes.

And, whatever you think of Joseph and whether it’s just a publicity tool for Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber or yet another reality TV show - at least it’s something a little bit different.

This gives children across the country, so far more than 800 choirs have submitted a video, the chance to perform on stage, get interested in the shows and find a love of music.

My daughter is in Janvrin school choir so if you want to send your vote somewhere and don’t have your own children to vote for then feel free to send your vote their way.

Vote Janvrin - well Vote Janvrin when the voting is back up and running anyway!
