What Was Great Pretenders?
Great Pretenders was a half-hour music game show for teenagers. It was a chance for young people to show off their performance skills. The show combined music, dancing, and a bit of competition.
How the Show Worked
On Great Pretenders, teenage contestants would lip sync and dance. Lip syncing means pretending to sing along to a song. The original song plays, and the performer moves their lips as if they are singing. It's like a fun, energetic karaoke performance.
After their performance, a live studio audience would judge them. The audience helped decide who did the best job. The goal for the contestants was to win exciting prizes.
Meet the Hosts
The show was hosted by the popular American pop trio, Wild Orchid. The group included Stacy Ferguson, Stefanie Ridel, and Renee Sands. They guided the contestants through the show and added to the fun atmosphere.
