Forged in Fire Season 1 part of TV Series: Forged in Fire
9.6 (9 ratings) director: Alfonso Trinidad actor: Wil Willis / J. Neilson
FORGED IN FIRE features world-class bladesmiths competing against each other to create some of the most iconic edged weapons from history. In each episode, four of the best bladesmiths in the country will come together to put both their skills and reputations on the line. Whether they are making a Japanese katana, a medieval broadsword, or an ancient throwing blade like the chakram, the weapons they forge will be fully functional and lethal works of art and war. The unique histories contained within each weapon will be creatively told during the forging process and the final weapons themselves will be assessed and ruthlessly tested by our panel of expert judges. These dynamic and explosive tests will be individually designed to push the weapons to their absolute limit. One by one, the bladesmiths will be eliminated until only one remains to be crowned the champion.

由“选秀节目之父”Simon Cowell创办的美国版《The X Factor》即《X音素》,比赛内容有别于Simon早期参与的《美国偶像》,地域上超越了其原版《英国偶像》,本节目由9月底持续到12月,最后的冠军将获得500万美金大奖,其激烈程度必将开创唱歌选秀类节目的新一轮高潮。
这档节目的评委有:流行音乐界的慧眼伯乐Simon Cowell,他是著名电视选秀评审,创办了《美国偶像》前身《Pop Idol》,继而参与了《英国偶像》《英国达人》《美国偶像》,以尖酸刻薄的“毒舌”著称的Simon,经由他苛刻的点评,这些节目也分别出现了在日后大放异彩的流行巨星,包括Carrie Underwood, Leona Lewis, David Cook等等。诸多才人参加节目,只为博得他的赞许,他的点评也是观众投票最重要的参考与风向标。 有他的参与,《X音素》的娱乐性与专业性在所有歌唱选秀节目中将是难以比拟的。
80年代风靡全美的流行歌手Paula Abdul。与Simon Cowell一同参与第一季至第八季《美国偶像》的Paula,她不仅是一名销售多白金唱片的流行歌手,更是为Michael Jackson和Janet Jackson编舞的知名舞蹈编排家。Paula的评委风格向来温和讲情面,与Simon的刻薄形成了很好的娱乐效果,他们二人之间浓浓的奸情也是真人秀节目粉丝乐于称道的八卦。
除了这两位最先确定的评委之外,还有Pussycat Dolls主唱,以性感的风格撼动全美的Nicole Scherzinger;以及曾获格莱美奖项的知名歌曲创作者,音乐监制人L.A.Reid。主持人则由英俊的威尔士型男Steve Jones来担任。
《X音素》将是这个秋冬话题性最强,引爆眼球的电视节目,强大的阵容,专业的评审,养眼的美女,令人捂脸的奸情,挥洒梦想与汗水的舞台上,一切皆有可能!
