J2US

This month, I had the chance to watch a live TV show at the studio where it was being broadcast. The show in question was "Just The Two Of Us" or J2US as it is known over here. The original format of the show was conceived in the UK by the BBC. Sadly, I have never watched the original, it began after I had moved back to Greece from the UK and I don't know what kind of music was featured in it. You see this show, is about music. From what I have understood, celebrities are paired with vocal coaches who are usually singers themselves and they are given songs to perform. They are then judged by a committee comprised of four showbiz celebrities.

 

I do not listen to that particular kind of Greek music that is featured in the show (although on that particular night two golden oldies were featured which were among my favourites)  but I had received invitations from work and I thought that it would be an interesting and unique experience. A coach picked us up from a specific location to take us to the studio which is located in one of the venues used for the 2004 Olympic Games (I had watched table tennis matches there back in the day), and returned us to where we were picked up from after the end of the show.
