Reviews

Losergurl This show takes the biscuit for the worst, unbelievable unfunny tragic programme of the history of the earth.Maritza looks like a smaller version of Lesley Ash (lips, obviously, has a bee stung them or is it surgical? Hmm!) and I'm pretty sure if anyone went around calling people a dog they'd find themselves in hospital quick enough.The fact is, if Taina is supposed to be all streetwise and sassy why the hell does Maritza walk over her? She's a total weed who needs a dose of bad medicine!Her family are henious! I mean, it feels as though her parents are total weeds too.Renee needs to learn when to shut up, and Dan and Lamar are freakshows.All in all, a monstrous piece of tack which I'm glad to say has been axed.
thecleverone21 The show itself is good I myself think that we will be seeing your name in the lights.Your just a beautiful,beautiful girl talented great personality that could get you where you want. So keep up the good work ma I'll keep watching.
Joshua Bozeman This is yet another cheaply produced Nick series. It is aimed at Nick's target audience, which means younger teens and below. This show isn't one of the best, not one of the worst. It really has no point, and the only reason I've seen any of it is because of the girl who plays Taina herself. She's really pretty, so it might work some people. I usually find that I need some sort of a solid story to keep watching a beautiful girl. With no story, it gets kind of old. The production values aren't very high...but it's Nick, and most kids aren't going to care, or even notice. A lot of Nick shows are decent, some even really good, but this is just lacking. 4/10
helll_razor I just watched the Pilot(I taped it) and it seems like it will be a pretty good Nick show. Christina Vidal plays the lead role as Taina(duh). She is a freshman in a Performing Arts Highschool in NYC(woo baby!!). She daydreams and has a very very strong desire to become famous(as do I in some respects). Being that I only have one episode to go on this is all I can give you. Christina has a very good singing voice as shown in the series(we'll get to hear more of it). The show will basically give you Taina's journey through life ,Highschool and her quest for fame. I can't really comment much on the other characters but I did notice Karen Fraction from My Brother and Me as the ballet instructor. I'll hijack Ebert and give it a thumb up.***a little sidenote** Christina Vidal has lived Taina's life to an extent being that she is also a NYer(woo !!) and she also went to a performing arts highschool. I hope people can latch themselves onto this series because it is very good.
