Rock the Cradle


If you haven't heard MTV has started a new reality tv show titled "Rock the Cradle". During each week of the competition, the celebrity offspring will rehearse with accomplished producers, songwriters and choreographers before performing live in front of a studio audience and panel of judges. Home viewer votes will ultimately determine which contestant will receive the grand prize of a recording contract.

I find it interesting that the offspring all state that they want to make it "big" in the world without the help of their famous parents but all of their famous parents appear on the show multiple times and they also give feedback during the performances. My main question is if the show would make it without the celebrity backing that it has right now. I find that this relates to some of the things that we have learned in class particularly the section where we discussed celebrity endorsements.
