Essentially its polar opposite, Superstar USA judges told contestants they were looking for the best singer when in fact they were secretly looking for the worst.
Hosted by Brian McFayden, people first audition before three judges (Christopher Briggs, who also produced the show; rapper Tone Loc and singer Vitamin C) in four cities across the United States.
Throughout the competition she was constantly mocked by judges with thinly veiled references to the largeness of her breasts.
One producer, worried that the live audience members would be unable to respectfully compose themselves during the final performances, falsely informed them that the singers were all terminally ill young people who were having a wish fulfilled by a charitable organization.
The Los Angeles Times reported the said organization as the Make a Wish Foundation, which later received an apology from the WB.
