''The One: Making a Music Star'' is an American reality television series that aired in July 2006 on ABC in the United States, and CBC Television in Canada. The show was hosted by George Stroumboulopoulos, the host of CBC's ''The Hour''. It was advertised as being superior to ''American Idol'' and ''Rock Star'' with the twist that contestants "live together in a fully functioning music academy", with their actions documented similar to the ''Big Brother'' format. Reportedly one of the most expensive summer series in the history of the ABC network,〔(Canadian version of The One still possible: CBC executive ), CBC.ca, July 28, 2006〕 its first episode, on July 18, 2006, scored the lowest audience for a premiere episode on a major American television network at that time, with an estimated 3.08 million viewers (the 1990 premiere of ''Glory Days'' on Fox and the 2014 premiere of ''The Quest'' on ABC both had lower audiences). Subsequent episodes had even fewer viewers. The series was cancelled after two weeks (four episodes) with the final results undecided on July 27, 2006. The show's website proclaimed "there are no plans for additional episodes".〔(Official website ), accessed July 27, 2006 (Defunct)〕 ==Overview== ''The One'' is an adaptation of the ''Operación Triunfo / Star Academy'' format owned by Endemol, and was produced by Endemol USA, the producers of ''Big Brother'', ''Fear Factor'', ''Deal or No Deal'', and other reality shows. ''Star Academy'' was in fact developed in 2001, around the same time as the original ''Pop Idol'', although the format took much longer to appear in North America. Nonetheless, ''American Idols established popularity has contributed to ''The One'' being perceived by some viewers and critics as a ripoff of the ''Idol'' franchise. CBC personality Stroumboulopoulos hosted the U.S. series — his selection brought added attention from the Canadian media following the debate over the CBC's decision to air the series. The judges were songwriter Kara DioGuardi, industry veteran Mark Hudson, and former record executive Andre Harrell. The show's executive producer was ''Fear Factor'' producer Matt Kunitz. DioGuardi would later become a judge on ''American Idol'', starting with that program's eighth season in 2009. In promotions leading up to the show's premiere, ABC called ''The One'' "the show Fox doesn't want you to see" or "where ''Idol'' has never gone", because the contestants would always be competing, even when the stage isn't set, and grudges, rivalries, and breakdowns can develop. In fact, the viewers at home only chose who the bottom 3 are; the judges then saved one, and then the remaining contestants chose which one should go home. In Canada, ''The One'' was promoted by CBC as the must-see event of the summer. Ads for ''The One'' ran for several weeks before the show premiered. The series was initially scheduled to air Tuesday nights from 9:30 to 11:00 p.m. ET/PT (performance), and Wednesday nights from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. (results), from July 18 to September 6.〔('Idol' knockoff to bump Mansbridge ), ''The Globe and Mail'', June 21, 2006〕 Prior to the premiere, performance episodes were expanded to two hours starting at 9:00 p.m. ET. At the last minute, the airing of the first results show was changed to 10:00 p.m. ET. A planned further change for the Tuesday episodes, to the 8:30 to 10:00 p.m. ET timeslot, became moot following the show's cancellation.〔(ABC press release ), July 25, 2006〕 Viewers in the United States voted through telephone, text messaging or on the Internet. Canadian viewers were required to vote over the Internet. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The One: Making a Music Star」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
