Have Any Ideas For "Who Wants to Be the Next Disney Channel Star"?

demi-lovato-02_nc.jpg

Do you have a dream of being the next Demi Lovato or Selena Gomez? Can you see yourself with your own Disney Channel Show or Original Movie?

I originally told you about this idea back in November and if you take one look at the post here, you can see that this idea was a BIG hit!!

Well, Alan Baltes, who came up with this idea, is asking for your help again and wants your feedback. He is still in the early preparations of pitching the idea to Disney execs. Here’s a description of his idea:

The show would tour America in search of the next person to become a star on the Disney Channel. There would be open casting calls that would take place in various cities throughout the United States. Contestants would perform acting, singing, or dancing routines. They would then be narrowed down to finalists who would come to Burbank, California to compete in a reality show in which the winner would receive a contract to star in a Disney Channel Television Show or Feature Film.

If this idea interest you, head on over to his blog and give him some ideas for the show! I am sure he will appreciate your ideas and it will help him make this idea turn into a reality. I for one would LOVE to see this show actually happen.

    I’ve wanted be a star every since “That’s So Raven” came out on Disney Channel and that was awhile back. But, I believe I can be a great role model, idol, and a lot of other things young children these days look forward to having. I can’t neccessarily I could be the next Hannah Montana, Demi Lovato, or Selena Gomez. But do believe I have enought courage and entegrity to make a success of myself. If someone like this would give me a try.

  7. melisa

    i want to try out for this omg working for disney is my dream! what is the age limit??????

  8. Jonathan

    My first dream is becoming a disney star ive been wanting to be a disney star sense I was 5. I loved the shows and shows on cartoon network are getting very odd and well you know so kids (like me) dont like thos shows,
    but as I was saying I like like jimmy wizards of waverly place a magical show!
    but enough chat about that stuff.

    My show is about a teenager called Hushyzadodo 18 years old orange hair green shirt and green pants he’s got a younger brother Tushyzadodo and slushyzadodo
    Tushy is 15 and Slushy is 13. They go on adventures like traveling to the moon,destroying space aliens,evil robots! evil scientests I would love to see my creation sense I was younger then what 5,4? be on Disney channel please let me win.

  9. Jonathan

    Ps im 10 and I am a artist/magician

  10. Anushri Kakde

I M NOW 16 YRS OLD AND I GUESS THERE ISNT ANY AGE LIMIT FOR THIS, SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN IS THE AUDITION AND ALL ITS INFORMATION. PLEASE DO RESPOND , M DYING TO BECOME DISNEY STAR.

  11. Marquila payne

    i need this i mean ive been on talent hunter writing my songs and everything i might be telling you the things many people have told you before but if u give me the chance i wont let you down i just wnt to be a role model for girls and boys who feel cofident or less cofident of themselves and i think that is what your looking for im the person for it.

  12. Helen

    I’v alway’s wanted to be an singer and actor when that’s so raven was on.I have an amazing voice and i love to act.so tell me when their acticon starts!

  13. nadia

    i knew it.only in the usa.damn! i am from canada/ont. i know i can bring it but i just………dont live there.you know there are other pepole that also dream and try to be a actor or actress but they live in other places that dont have opertonites like this

  14. Mee! ;D

    Great idea! Wouldnt it be MUCH cooler if you had auditions all over the globe? :D + I think a lot of people would be VERY happy to be able to audition, even if they don’t live in USA.. It is kind of unfair.. I dont think where you live should decide wether you are going to be a star or not.. I live in Norway..not very big chances here..

  15. Tabitha

    I think that show would be a hit :) ))
    i for one would love to be one of the finalist even if i dont make it ill keep going for my goal.
    please email me at tabyflores14@hotmail.com ill tell you about my self alittle more and show you pictures of me.
