Ripoff of Instant Star?


Ya think? We won't know for sure til the show starts, but it seems kinda fishy to me...very similar.

reply

That's what I first thought when I saw the previews. Maybe a "raunchier" version?

reply

Even the chick's blonde like Alexz.Linda's gonna be pissed,I mean if your gonna rip give credit.

reply

Exactly what i was thinking! but The N is an MTV company, so i dont think they would have 2 of the same shows...

I guess we will just have to wait and see

But They just air it.Not make it.
Its Linda's show not the N's.
So they're not copying off themselves but Linda.

I was going to make a post like this, and then I saw this one. :P Anyways, yea, it looks like a lame version of Instant Star.

If you love Jesus Christ and are 100% proud of it, copy this and make it your signature.<3

Totally, after people tell MTV to bring back some of their scripted shows, they finally do, and it's ripoff, guess what, they're all canadian too, just like everyone instant star. Give you three guesses where it's being filmed. Bring back undressed, Daria, or even Spyder Games, finish the season of spyder games, And I don't mean bring back undressed for like two hour every 8 months, and then don't tell anyone it's coming on at 3 in the morning.

Eric Benet (the character 'T') is American.

Yeah I noticed that too. I won't be watching, just for that very reason, LOL. Instant Star is an amazing concept for a television show(and the Alexz Johnson is a great singer and actress). I'm surprised MTV didnt' come up with the concept first, especially with American Idol contestants and their issues in the media. Seems like MTV should have been the first to jump on the idea.

I refuse to watch this Kayla crap, LOL. I'll start watching MTV, when they come up with original ideas (the only good thing now is The Hills). I thought BET was the copycat station, but I guess not..lol.

reply

ugly betty is a re-make if you will, of those other shows, and what does this and instant star being from different countries have to do with anything??? they are all saying it's a rip-off cause the plots are almost exactly the same. and instant star was first and i'm sure it's better cause instant star is amazzing and this show looks rediculous(sp?) MTV SUCKS HARD CORE!!!!!!!!

When do we see Jamie Lee's breasts? I wanna see Jamie Lee's breasts.-Stu, Scream

reply

YEAH A CUPLE YEARS REMAKE THATS LITLLE TO TOO SOON ANT WAY INSTANBS SUCKS AND YOU SHOUD BOYCOT MTV IL HELP YOU

reply

Ugh, I saw a commercial for this a few weeks ago and thought, "Couldn't MTV have come up with their own plot for a tv show?"

reply

Actually The Cast of Kaya is Canadian.So before you wanna Yell like an five year old talking in Caps you might wanna take the time and craft something readable.
Anywhoo..Yeah MTV,Copycats.Although Kaya sleeping with her producer..Might gotta watch to see that.The Song Sucks ass though,Danielle S. Deserves better.

reply

For all of those who think that Kaya's entire cast is Canadian, it isn't...or did California suddenly become part of Canada???? Justin Wilczynski is from Paso Robles which is most def in California.

Besides the guys in Instant Star are not as hot as in Kaya (imo) and Kaya has the whole emotional trauma from the lost sister who's ghost keeps popping up angle. Instant Star has a happy singer/band like in Hanna Montana or something, which doesn't exist in Kaya, which focuses more on the dynamics of a band who finally get noticed after working together for such a long time. So is it a rip off? Heck no.

When I first saw the preview I immediately thought it was a rip off of Instant Star.

reply

thought the same thing.

i have a feeling instant star will still be better.

reply

You don't have to go to Mexico to know what language they speak.

I thought the same thing when I watched it, but Instant Star is obviously better. The music in this show pretty much sucks, but Instant Star's music is phenomenal.

reply

omg badwolf could you PLEASE learn how to spell SINCE.
thank you.

reply

umm badwolf your english dosent make since

reply

I never saw Instant Star so I have absolutely nothing to compare it to... but I didn't think it was that bad. It's nice to see something on MTV again besides a reality show. Danielle Savre is freakin' AWESOME!!!

Wow! That's a lot of hostility...

reply

Ok, let's set some things straight here.

I don't know about the whole cast of Kaya, but Danielle Savre, was born and raised in Simi Valley, which is in California.
I know this because my dad is friends with her dad.
Also, it says on her fansite.

Also, we've only seen one episode. Give it a chance and stop judging by what you saw the first time.

reply

Nah sorry this show sucks like crazy. It doesn't take anymore episodes to know that the quality of acting will get better. Because it won't. Instant Star was here first and the lead character is way more likeable (with a better voice) than Kaya. I hope this show is cancelled very, very soon.
I can't wait for the new season of Instant Star.

reply

When i first saw the previews for this show the first thing the came to mind was "Instant Star". A Total ripoff of "Instant Star".

reply

Well what do you expect from MTV? They used to be really original and actually likeable by a very wide audience because of the music they played. Remember the shows MTV played during the 80's and 90's? They were actually cool, but now all that MTV does is give us "unscripted, reality" *beep* and unoriginal crap that they say is real(ex. Laguna Beach, The Hills, and Newport Harbor). MTV really needs to get the music back and not have it play at like 2 AM.
