What is "take the stage"

v. attract attention onto oneself [syn: take stage]

Take The Stage is a non-scripted singing competition starring Johnny Wright and Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, and produced by YOBI.tv.

Take The Stage has been likened to shows such as American Idol, The Voice, and X Factor in that the contestants are put through a variety of challenges to see who has what it takes to be the next musical sensation. It has also, however, been noted as different from these shows for its non-reliance on professional or celebrity judges and the absence of progressive eliminations, as well as for its focus on original music.

The winner of Take The Stage will be determined solely by viewer votes and will get $20,000 and a music management contract with Johnny Wright and YOBI.tv. Take The Stage was seen on YOBI.tv and on Myspace.
