Taking the Stage

Taking the stage is a new reality show on MTV. I know what you are thinking, not another stupid reality show! But seriously this one is different. It's not your typical scripted lame dating show that is usually featured on MTV. This one is actually interesting and real. You never know what is scripted these days so i have no idea if it is reality but i still like the show and all of the kids on it. This show is about about students at the school of Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinnati. You have to addition to get into the school and afterwards students go to persue their dream in all areas of the performing buisness.

The show follows five very talented students and shows how they are working toward their dream.


Mia is a singer-song writter who i fell in love with the first time i heard her sing. She has an amazing vioce and she plays the quitar. She is incredibly driven to be famous and her goal in life is to be signed by the time she is eighteen. The first episode was about their school's talent show and the judges were actually people from the entertainment industry. Mia was in the talent show playing a song that she wrote with her band in the background. She got first place in the talent show and i was so happy. Also i like how she is not afraid to perform and she goes and plays shows wherever they will let her. She has a very funky style and she seems so confident. She can sing, play guitar, write songs, and even dance, she can do whatever she sets her mind to.



Another person i liked right away was Jasmine. She is a very talented dancer and loves ballet. Her goal is to make it to Juilliard which is a performing arts school in New York. She says she wants to be the best profesional dancer of her generation. She can also dance hip hop and it a very pretty girl. In the first episode she meets Tyler, a new student and they instantly hit it off. Tyler is a hip hop dancer and comes to the school to become a more well rounded dancer. He is in Jasmine's ballet class and he asks her for help. He finds out that there is a hip hop group at the school and Jasmine tells him to come to their practice and check it out. When he does Malike, the leader of the group gets angry. Tyler decides he wants to make his own hip hop group because that wasn't his style.

The show is mainly filmed at their school and shows what goes on. One day they had a dance off in the cafeteria. I don't know it this really happened in real life but if it did that would be crazy. I guess it was kind of corny but it still showed off their really good dancing skills. At the talent show Tyler's dance group won over Malik's and that made him very mad. They kind of have a battle of who is better through out the show.

The series just started but i am very excited to follow along. The reason i like this show so much is becasue it's not your typical reality show. I like the content and just the idea of the show. It shows kids who are motivated and very talented. It gives other kids inspiration for their dreams and it's just interesting to watch other people on their journey to fame.
