Opening Act was a reality television series that premiered on E! in 2012. The show was hosted by Olivia Lee, with Pete Wentz, Martina McBride, and Jason Derulo serving as the three celebrity mentors. The premise of the show was simple: each week, viewers would be introduced to a new undiscovered musical artist. These individuals would hail from all corners of the United States, with a wide array of sounds and styles. From country singers to urban rap artists, the show had no limits when it came to genre.

As each episode began, the mentors would be given a brief synopsis of the week's performer. They would then have to work together to create a set list and performance for that artist. This could be a daunting task for some of the contestants, as they would only have a matter of days to rehearse, prepare, and perform in front of a live audience. Needless to say, the pressure was always on.

One of the most interesting aspects of the show was the diversity of the contestants. Each week brought a new story and a new voice, showcasing the incredible range of talent across America. Some of the artists were seasoned performers, with years of experience under their belts. Others were fresh-faced newcomers, with little more than a dream and a guitar.

The mentors themselves were another major draw of the show. Pete Wentz brought his punk rock charm to the table, helping contestants to hone their stage presence and performance skills. Martina McBride, on the other hand, was a country music superstar, with multiple Grammy awards to her name. Her experience and knowledge of the industry proved invaluable to many of the contestants. Finally, there was Jason Derulo, who was able to provide a fresh perspective on urban music and dance. Together, the three mentors made for a dynamic and engaging trio, each bringing their own unique strengths to the table.

Of course, no reality show is complete without some drama, and Opening Act was no exception. Along the way, there were numerous conflicts and setbacks that threatened to derail the contestants' dreams. From disagreements over set lists to last-minute illnesses, it seemed that there was always something standing in their way. However, with the mentors' guidance and support, the contestants were always able to push through these challenges to put on a great show.

At the end of each episode, the showcased artist would perform a show in front of a live audience. The stakes were high, as the mentors would be judging their performance and deciding whether or not to award them an 'Opening Act' slot on one of their own tours. For the contestants, this was the opportunity of a lifetime, a chance to perform in front of thousands of fans and share their music with the world. For viewers at home, it was a thrilling look behind the scenes of the music industry, a chance to see the hard work and dedication that goes into each performance.

Overall, Opening Act was a fun, engaging, and educational reality show that gave viewers a glimpse into the cutthroat world of music. The chemistry between the mentors was palpable, and their guidance helped to ensure that each contestant gave their best possible performance. The contestants themselves brought a wide variety of talent, showcasing the incredible diversity of music across America. Whether you were a die-hard music fan or simply someone looking for an entertaining show, Opening Act had something to offer.
