How Good Bad Can Be

Some are the good, more are the bad and a few are simply vocally challenged. Only "Extra" has your first look at "The WB's Superstar USA," an outrageous new talent show -- with a twist.

Singer Vitamin C, rapper Tone Loc and TV producer Chris Briggs are the celebrity judges who give singers a shot at fame, fortune and a record deal worth $100,000. But what the wannabes don't know is that in this competition, it's the good singers that get skewered and the bad ones that receive rave reviews. And the bad ones definitely bring things down to a hilarious new level of headstrong bad talent.

Tone Loc and Vitamin C try to keep a straight face while delivering a heavy dose of sarcasm. "One day you'll thank me for this," C deadpans before saying "Next!"

Meanwhile, Briggs doles out his blistering critiques and compliments without cracking a smile. "The bad news is you're not a strong singer," he tells one lovely hopeful (who in fact acquits herself well). "The good news is you're hot and I'd like to take you dinner."

After a nationwide search, 12 tone-deaf dreamers will head to Hollywood to compete for the title. See who's bad enough to make the cut, when "The WB's Superstar USA" kicks off its earsplitting seven-week contest next Monday.
