That's My Jam

Everything about this show is wrong for a UK audience.

So obviously rehearsed theres no jeopardy , no mystery and no excitement.

Everyone gets the answers right, sings perfectly and holds a fake smile the whole way through.

I like a good quiz and the brief glimpse of it on Graham Norton seemed amusing.

Sadly that 30s was the only good bit of the whole program .

Hopefully the BBC didn't spend too much cash on this because it's an unwatchable, charmless disaster and no "celebrity" singer is going to want their name associated with it going forwards.

Do yourself a favour and go to your nearest pub with a karaoke machine and watch the drunk hen/stag do make a mess of your favourite song..it will be less painful than this.

Show is a conglomeration of other traditional Saturday night television tropes.

Celebs, singing, comedy, live audience, popular media, and why not chuck a live band whilst you're there.

I feel like Mo carried the first episode, supported by Alesha from time to time, and the incredible live band. Because of this, I feel Mo should be more selective with the work he accepts because he's super talented and charismatic, perhaps should lend his presence to show with more direction.

Production quality doesn't always equal a great show, and That's My Jam is a great example of this. Won't be tuning in for episode 2, and once again think Mo should be more selective going forward..

(I say all this as an armchair critic lol)

I struggled through the first episode which featured 4 people I didn't have to Google. The rounds were fine but everyone had rehearsed or perhaps even lip synced during the game. It was too long and not entertaining enough to fill an hour slot.

The second episode featured 2 people who were famous in Britain, someone who had to somewhat successful songs 8 years ago and someone from NSync not named Justin Timberlake. It was then it dawned on me that the show is filmed in LA, replaced Jimmy Fallon for a British host and hired z list American celebrities we are supposed to be wowed by.

This would have been a better show if it featured genuinely famous people who a British audience would know and was filmed in the U. K.. For reference, see RuPaul's celebrity lingo. It also needs elements of improv and spontaneity opposed to being a fully rehearsed show. Mo Gilligan does his best but he's not really a presenter and I'd be happy for this show to not return.

All the songs are terrible, the host is dull and like an animatronic, full of unfunny slapstick. Such a waste of taxpayer money. Literally anything would be better to fill in an hour on channel 1. Its so crap i generally think the audience is being payed to be there.

Usually I love music quizzes but I just can't sit through this one.

Mo is a terrible host, just laughing at himself a lot, and the round where he raps is incredibly cringeworthy - how is it possible to RAP out of tune..?!

Most of the music in the programme and the celebrity guests aren't really suitable for a UK prime time family audience (it's mostly American guests and a fair bit of hip hop / rap music that a lot of people won't know). Apparently it's an American show that's been refilmed with Mo for the UK.

Obviously most game shows are set up / rehearsed, but the 'spur of the moment' singing battles etc in this show stretch credulity to such an extent it's unbearable to watch.

It's not worth your time sadly.
